Had high hopes for this one to be a good qpr wine but it fell short, overall a poor example of Hamptons Gatorade.

Gorgeous salmon color, but that was the only highlight. You can find some great values at Trader Joes when it comes to wine, but with this one I felt I got what I paid for (a $7 rose). By no means terrible, just not very interesting.

And we're off! First rosé of the 2014 vintage. A solid TJ's standby, this is a significant step up from '13. Nothing complex but a fun wine that's so easy to drink and enjoy (even here in the depths of winter in Boston!) I anticipate having some of this in my cellar - actually probably my fridge - all year long to open without a second thought.

As always a massive QPR. Nice salmon color, terrific acid. Full of watermelon and strawberry flavors. This vintage seems a bit rounder and fuller-bodied. A steal for $7 at Trader Joe’s.

Decent rosé from Trader Joes. Definitely drinkable and more drinkable considering the price. Would buy again for home drinking.

A nice, simple quaffer. Most folks would happily drink a glass of this. Especially at $6.99 a bottle at Trader Joe's.
