my Wine Buds @ TJ's recommended I try this after suggesting the G.V. above ;

its similar to the GV , but Im betting would be quite different if tasted side by side.

 

who can really remember various tastes and nuances ?  not me.

 

as my standard ref.  is Tj's Costal Chardonnay , this moves away from that in an interesting direction

 

as did the G.V.    $ 7.49 , not a Bank-Breaker  .  ice cold , quite nice

 

back label is fairly accurate , but I do not know what ' lively ' means in a wine.

 

certainly nothing was wiggling around as I swallowed .   Ill get this again , and keep a few bottles

 

as I now keep a few bottles of the G.V. , for a change from the TJ's C.C.

As I've lamented before, I don't have ready access to Trader Joe's. I'd definitely take a flyer on Vermentino, though. I thoroughly dislike Chardonnay, but the crisp and lively (and no, I can't define it either) wines that Don't Taste of Chardonnay and aren't sweet are right up my alley. If I ever get a chance, I'll give theirs a try.
