My friend's brother owns Qupe winery and is now making a wine for Trader Joe's... a chardonnay and a syrah (he has won numerous awards for Qupe Syrah).

The label is VINTJS and the price is $6.99

I haven't tried it yet but I've certainly had enough Qupe to know it's gonna be good!!!

I have tasted it. It's worth $6,99 but no more. To much candy apple. That taste is sugar added to the wine to push it's ageing. Old trick, but still works.

Not cane, but from other grapes that are not used in the press. Very very ripe and sweet.
