Dear Joe,
Stick to trading. Your wine in boring.
Sincerely,

This is a flat, dull, *yawn* of a wine. I really hope that TJ got a good deal on this vineyard and has big plans to turn it around. Most other things that TJ puts his name on are pretty tasty. The 2007 Merlot, however, is definitely not one of them. 

On the plus side, it's in no way offensive. You can barely smell and taste it. Downside - it still stains despite having not much else in common with other wines. 

As you can see from the bag that comes with the wine when you purchase it, the little pic-nic that ol' Joe is putting together does include wine, but it is not this wine.

Also, the bottle is really light. What's up with that?
