Green Fin Redux

2009 Green Fin Cabernet Sauvignon
$3.99@Trader Joe's

Brian sez: Utterly unremarkable yet not in any way offensive.  I wouldn't have told you this was a cab, but after reading it on the label, I guess it does have some spice and vague oakiness. A little red fruit as well. If this were any more than $4 I would be disappointed, but this is a perfectly adequate Tuesday night wine.

Julia sez: Tastes great after a couple beers. I bought it for the label and the price. I like cab. Flat bottom.

Binary scale rating: 1

2009 Green Fin Table White
$3.99@Trader Joe's

Brian sez: Huh. This is quite good. I wasn't expecting much for the price, but this is a great little summertime bottle of white. Properly chilled, it's refreshing with tart crispness. Kinda tastes like green pears. A little acid and mineral rounds it out.

Julia sez: Perfect for a 40 degree Wisconsin Spring night. Pairs well with tonight's artichoke appetizer.
