Trader Joe's

Producer website

For all wines labeled 'Trader Joe's' on the front label, Cellartracker has adopted a policy of consistency with Producer = Trader Joe's.

The technical producer is usually listed at the bottom of the back label. Some producers listed are actual wineries with other own-branded wines and others are not. This producer within a particular label designation could change between vintages (and even within.) In order to provide information and make the wines easier to find, that producer name has been made a hidden search term for those wines.

Appellation also matters a lot with differentiating Trader Joe's wines.

Below is a list of the producer attached to particular Trader Joe's wine labels. Feel free to edit and/or amend as needed.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
