It’s best to contact me via email (tjswine@gmail.com) or on Twitter
If you represent a label who has a wine on the shelf of Trader Joe’s, I’d happily accept a ‘press sample’ which would be labeled as such on the review and will be judged as if I purchased the wine my own money.
If you’re a lawyer who represents any company mentioned in this blog, I didn’t mean to piss you off; I just love to talk about wines featured by Trader Joe’s; hopefully you do as well, sans the words ‘cease and desist’.
Mike Lawrence and Colin Fields, it’d be great to talk wine sometime.

Can I buy your wine on line ?

@Rob, Trader Joe’s doesn’t sell wine online, or any products for that matter.

Hello – is it possible to search your posts? Curious what you thought of Trader Moon’s 2009 Zinfandel, California ..
Thank you.

Is this wine still available at TJ’s? I live in san Pedro.

@Lloyd, I’m sorry, which wine are you referring to? You’ve left a comment on the contact page which isn’t directly associated with a particular wine.
@Josh, I haven’t reviewed any spirits. I’m not THAT familiar with a wide range of spirits on their own to speak of their quality or varietal characteristics. I will say though, Rebel Yell is a good mixing bourbon for $10!! I did work for TJ’s for sometime, customers would continually tell me that some of the scotches were really good values. Can anyone give some more info on these?

@Dr. Osler, I would suggest your local Trader Joe’s. Ask if they still have it.

Have you tried Blackburn & James Paso Red Blend? I luv it!!

@Jen, No I haven’t! I just moved to a new city in Northern California, that means an all new TJ’s to get to know and find out who the wine people are! So releases aren’t sold everywhere; where in the US did you buy this wine?

Two months and all is very quiet here…..just FYI the Trbunal is back. 2010 is tight, alcoholy and needs time to open up. Bet it’s amazing in a year or two.

Hi Matt. Relatively recently, I started drinking and mostly liking wines made from the grape Carmenere, now mostly grown in Chile. I thought I should compare the Carmeneres on offer at TJ’s and, at my local store, there were a few bottles to choose from and I wasn’t sure if it was worth paying $8 instead of $4. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks.

Hello,
I think that might be interesting for you. I am a professional creator and developer of user accounts on Twitter.
Would you like to extend the reach? Would you like to promote your products and services directly to a target audience?
At the moment, interaction between the companies and their potential and existing customers is carried out through social media.
I offer two types of services:
1) Creation and promotion of the Twitter-channel for your website: addendum of active followers who will retweet almost all of your tweets, giving the channel a status of “Top”, whereby your channel will be promoted by Tweet system to all potentially interested people with interests similar to the theme of your twitter.
Cost of the service – $ 70.
2) Placement of links of your website on 500 high quality twitter accounts. Placing will positively impact on the position of your site in Google. Here are a few of words about it – specialists from “SEOMoz magazine” analyzed more than 10.217 different search queries in Google search system and were able to identify the dependence in the preference of those sites whose accounts have links from social media!
Also there were conducted a dozens of experiments which revealed a positive effect of links from social media and in particular positive effect of Twitter to the position of the site, which is supported by a statement of technical engineer Matt Cuts about the fact that Google takes into account the links from social media like Twitter and Facebook in determining of the site positions in search – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofhwPC-5Ub4&feature=player_embedded
So, if you want your site to be on the top in a search, it is necessary to have quality links from Twitter and other social media.
Cost of the service – $ 50.
If you have any questions – please send them. I will try to answer them in the very nearest time.
I work without prepayment. Payment goes after all the work is done and the report is sent. If you order multiple services – i will make a discount!
If you are not interested in this letter I’m sorry to bother you! Have a good day!
Sincerely,
Nick Grey
