    Bottle of Purple Moon Merlot

    Trader Joe's Purple Moon Merlot

    Purple Moon Merlot, 2009, $3.99, Trader Joe's.  We say:  plum, light, short finish.  Not complex, but pleasant.  Buy again:  $3.99 for a pleasant red – yes!!

      We'll have to check that out. Our peeps love TJ's Honey Moon viognier, wonder if it's from the same vineyard.

      Purple Moon! Love the name. Sounds so sixties. Wasn't it Mia Farrow (back in the days of Peyton Place) who said, "I want to walk barefoot on the moon." I will try this for the price and the name.
