The holiday is upon us and I’m planning a picnic and enjoying the wit and wisdom of Jason’s Wine Blog.
The blog is known for Jason’s periodically updated Trader Joe’s Top 10 Wine List, a serious vinophile’s take on wines that just about anybody can afford.
Highly recommended if you enjoy mordantly honest wine assessments written by someone who easily balances what seems to be a ridiculous amount of wine knowledge with an approachable writing style.

And now, I’m off to find myself a $6 bottle of 2007 Chateau des Cleons Muscadet Sevre et Maine “Sur Lie” and a good place to watch the fireworks.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Hope you find the Chateau des Cleons agreeable. A new one at TJ’s that has yet to be added to the Top 10 is the Chariot Gypsy. As a bonus it is a perfect pairing with just about anything that comes off the bbq…
