Kinda a dramatic label. Excellent rendering of rocks. Very dark color. Kind of that classic deep maroon of the beefy Malbecs. Smells dense and juicy. Berry danish. Or is that a blueberry 🫐 donut? Flavors are chewy and complex. Spice with a hint bitter skins of a balanced plum. Has plenty of sagebrush and fall dry leaves. Balanced, full bodied and woodsy. This is a very nice Malbec. Maybe it’s the altitude. — 3 days ago

An ‘aged’ Napa Pinot I scored for $10. Dark color still. Not rusty yet. Smells like books, fruit of the cane, and smoked meats. Flavors are spritely, bright and herbaceous. This is a feisty and fun Pinot. Plenty dry with a nice mix of old and new world going on. — 16 days ago

The bottle is glass shaped like a rose 🌹 for the rosé theme. Fawn-sea. Very fancy. Very light pink. Bit of a copper color. Smells like a strawberry essenced mineral water and cream soda. Flavors are deeper than expected. Citrus. Bittersweet. Mineral water. This is a wine snobs rosé. Nothing demure or retiring about this one. Fun bottle to talk about and the wine lives up too. — 24 days ago

Pours a pale golden color. Smells like grapes and grapefruit. Maybe a hint of cat house. Flavors are yellow citrus peels and a smokey, herbal tonic. With a hint of melon sorbet. Or maybe creamsicle. This is a classic Sauv Blanc. And for under $10 at grocery outlet it’s worth the investment. — 9 days ago

This is a pretty rusty red in the glass. Classic graphite, rose petal and berries. Lacks extra depth, but it’s a lovely Saint-Emilion in an affordable price range. — 14 days ago

Knights from an estate! Wow how chivalrous! Nice pink and orange hue. Smells dry and herbal or dusty. Maybe like wet bricks and wood with citrus peels? Anyway the smells seem right for a Rosé. Flavors are pretty balanced and agreeable in the dry Rosé style. More citrus than strawberries, but it’s got a nice mix. And it’s ‘aged’ alright too. — 22 days ago

Lots of history to this varietal from this place. It’s not a very common grape. And it’s name checked in the Shakespeare opera ‘Don Giovanni’. Says so on the label. Dark colored grape makes a dark colored wine. Almost black. It’s supposed to smell like violets according to my research. Not sure I know the smell of violets enough to place that. I’d say berry cobbler. And maybe blood orange. Mushrooms? Flavors are dry, simple and elegant. Reminds me of some good Southern Italian stuff I’ve had. Plenty tart. Lower alcohol at 12.5%. This is interesting and strange stuff. Thanks Grocery Outlet for bringing stuff like this to the masses. — 25 days ago

This is a eye catching yet strange label. In the bottle is a recognizable and serviceable CA style Pinot. Juicy, fruity and easy to drink. Close to meh bottom shelf stuff, but a hint of pizazz makes it alright. — 10 days ago

Cool hillside village scene on the label. Ruby red. Smells a hint sharp, but also has some berry and fresh cut lumber. Flavors are short and tart. There is plenty of acid. This is a easy and alright Italian dinner wine for the weekdays. — 14 days ago

8.3

Classic Portuguese style label with an artistic bird on it. Other little label says, ‘97 points from Decanter’. Dark blood red. Smells of fall spices, berry compote and wet leaves. Flavors are fruit forward with plenty of pumpkin pie spice and vanilla (maybe from oak?). New World palate appeal for sure. This is ok, but not really my jam. Too much jam (or was that chutney…). — 20 days ago
