Behind the Cork™ Wine of the Week
2013 Hook or Crook Napa Valley Red Blend ($7)
I'm always curious when I come across a new label at Trader Joe's. This one caught my eye so I brought it home. While they don't specify the grapes used, this is a full-bodied red with a real nice set of flavors that caused me to look them up. Out of Lodi, they are producing three wines including this one. And, much to my surprise, they suggest $23.99 for this wine! Once knowing this, the wine tasted even better! This is great value and sure to go quickly. I went back for more!
