La Ferme Julienne is Trader Joe's French version of $2 chuck. Until recently it seems (2014) it came with the AOC provenience (Ventoux) but that seems to have fallen off the label... Not the best sign, but for a $5.99 wine it is still a pretty good table drop of plonk. Quite tart. Also, screw top so you pretend you aren't going to drink it all tonight.

So this rating is attached to a rating for a Rose Blend. We did not have that wine. Ours was a red, and I believe it was a blend because there was no other description of what kind it was.
We got this at Trader Joe’s and it was a French wine. It was very smooth and drinkable and balanced, yet dry. Tannins were not overpowering.

Pretty forgettable cheap rosè. Nothing to write home about. Definitely drinkable, just nothing special.

Acceptable for the price, but not the best of the cheap roses.

A bit ripe-r. Tart smelling. Some apples. Flavor is soft and easy drinking. Little bit of backbone.

TJ's $5. Some rough edges. Portes de Bordeaux Rose is much better for about the same $.
