Has anyone tried any of this wine(s)?
Is it any good?
I’ve heard that it’s fabulous, and I’ve also heard that it’s entirely un-remarkable, . . .
If it is good, how can I get some, (there’s not a Trader Joe’s in my area)?
Thanks

It's only two bucks on the West Coast because of distribution issues, and it's only available at Trader Joe's because they have an exclusive deal with Bronco Wine Co. (the folks who put the stuff in the bottle). I have a friend in CA who knows wine a bit, and he got a case of the Merlot for Christmas from his father-in-law. He tried it and it wasn't all that bad for the first couple of bottles as a sort of novelty. Then the novelty wore off and he has ten bottles lying around that no one wants to drink. Based on that, I'd say it's totally unremarkable.
