Shopping Cheap at Trader Joes

Last week I wrote a post on Trader Joes' much-discussed two buck chuck. Today I came across another article on Trader Joes' wine shop - this time focusing on the store's many less-than-ten-dollar bottles. The writer, who works for The Oregonian, picked a selection of cheap wines that are all sold at Trader Joes, many of them exclusively.

According to her introduction:

"I often receive queries from readers asking why more of the wines I recommend aren't available at TJ's. The answer is this: Many of the wines sold at this retail chain are private or exclusive labels. That is, they aren't sold anywhere else around town. So I recently picked up a selection of sub-$10 wines from TJ's for a taste test. I chose wines that appeared to offer the most bang for the buck and that I had not seen outside of the Trader Joe's universe. "
