Let’s be honest: I’m down for a glass of wine on any day that ends in Y. A good bottle of wine pairs well with just about any occasion. Celebrating a promotion? Wine. Mending a broken heart? Wine. Unwinding after an especially tough day with the kids? Wine. Still coping with the Friends finale 15 years later? Wine. Cheese? Wine.
Not only are Guardian Bikes designed to grow with your kid, but they ship 99% assembled so putting them together literally takes five minutes (a parent's dream gift).
There are only two things that I love more than hearing the crisp pop of a wine cork after a long day: a sweet deal and my good pal Trader Joe. Trader Joe’s is home to an impressive selection of vino, and I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t feel a bit overwhelmed when deciding on what bottle to add to a grocery cart that’s already bursting at the seams.
I’m no expert in wine, but I do believe that I’m a solid representative for those of us who are looking for a good time whilst sticking to a budget. After years of trial, error, recommendations, and scouring the World Wide Web for the most deliciously affordable bottles of wine, I’ve compiled a list of favorites that keep my wallet and inner wine snob happy. One day, I’ll reach for Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame at TJ’s ($131.99) and I’ll know that I’ve made it. Until then, you can find me blissfully shopping this list of my favorite TJ’s wine for under $10. Cheers!
