5 Experts on the Best Wine You Can Buy at Trader Joe’s — Shopping

Trader Joe's is one of my favorite resources for everyday wines. Good, inexpensive wines are hard not to love. But I never would have guessed that professional wine experts would share my affinity for the offerings at the grocery chain. Turns out, though, sommeliers and winemakers from all around the country love dear ol' TJ's just as much as I do.

I spoke with four sommeliers and one winemaker to get their suggestions for the absolute best bottles of wine you can pull from the shelves. While one may be considered a splurge by Trader Joe's standards at $24.99 (although I'd say it's worth it since it's a special occasion-worthy bottle that can age for years), the rest are as wallet-friendly as you'd expect — there's even a pizza-friendly wine for as little at $4.99.

Take a look and keep this list handy for your next Trader Joe's run.
