Blue Shell Sauvignon Blanc 2020 – Trader Joe’s French Summer Wine
This is a $6.99 Trader Joe’s wine from the Languedoc region of France.
The Blue Shell Sauvignon” Blanc says “Southern French Coast” on the front label.
The Languedoc is located from the Pyrenees foothills to the Mediterranean
Ocean in southeastern France.
I like this wine. I drink for the Cheapwinefinder website; I am always on to the next one. I rarely drink the same wine twice.
But I would buy a case of the Blue Shell Sauvignon Blanc 2020.
A $6.99 wine for a long hot summer.
