Trader Joe’s Wine: Vola Trebbiano Pinot Grigio

A Wine Moment with Delaina, the sipping continues….This wine moment with Delaina, is featuring a wine from Trader Joe’s May 2010 Frequent Flyer, Vola Trebbiano Pinot Grigio.

Trader Joes featured quite a few wines in their recent Frequent Flyer, so of course I had to try two of them.  I am, at all times, open to trying new wines, and I especially like to try those that Trader Joe’s promotes in the store and in their advertising.

The first one I tried is a Pinot Grigio blend that offers a refreshing taste. For those of you that do not know, Trader Joes is featuring this great wine for only$1.99. WOW-  Vola which is a happy blend of Trebbiano and Pinot Grigio grapes.

I usually like Pinot Grigio grapes and wines’  in general, but I have to say that this one is just fabulous. This wine has an almost fruity-pine taste to me which pairs nicely with salads, and strong cheeses like the Dubliner or smoke Gouda, both of which can also be found at Trader Joes.

And let’s not forget the value! For the price of $1.99 I can even imagine myself buying a case of this wine and then sharing it with friends on a warm summer evening on my patio. Oh wait I don’t have a patio. Well then I would give some bottles away as “just thinking of you summer gifts.” And hope that my friends will invite me to their patios to sit under the stars and enjoy this wine (Hey I will bring the cheese and crackers, OK?)

So if you were curious about Vola Trebbiano Pinot Grigio and wondered what it was like, or if this wine was any good, we say relax and buy a bottle today ( or actually,  the next time you are at Trader Joe’s).

Cheers!

    I just bought some, and it’s awesome, and all I’ve had so far is 2 sips. It’s fruity, and tasty, and it’s… ahh… cheap wine. Plus, I plan to sautee onions in it, and they should taste just fabaroo! (Sorry, I was watching a British Sitcom, Red Dwarf, and one of the characters used that phrase). EXCELLENT wine.

    I first tasted Vola Trebbiano Pino Grigio 2009 in Az. I am now back in Washington state and looked for it at your Federal Way store. They had never heard of it. Any suggestions where I can find it in Washington?

    Since trying this wine, I was afraid to even try it because of its low cost, I have been buying it by the case. It is a wonderful table wine.

    I like to pick up new wines when out shopping, but after opening the Trebbiano I had to go online to see where I found this amazing wine! I will not be buying any other!
    Thank you, Trader Joe’s, for bringing this great wine to your stores! It is delish!

      Hello Ed;

      I don’t know if the Vola Trebbiano Pinot Grigio is only at Trader Joe’s or not. My assumption would be yes at least for that price. However, the Trader Joe’s name is not on the label, that I remember, so there is a chance that it can be found at your local wine store.
      Good luck,
      Delaina

    VERY HARD TO FIND! I live in NJ. My sis in law from NC introduced me to this delish wine. I almost wish she hadn’t. Trader Joes in NJ that sell wine are few and far between. I just called the Princeton store (28 miles away) and was told that, while they DO sell wine, they don’t carry the Vola Trebbiano/Pinot Grigio!! Arrgh! Short of having my sis in law buy me a case and send it up the next time my brother makes the drive (most times he flys) I guess I’m SOL!!! If anyone finds another source for this great wine, please post it here!!!

      Hi Monica … We too LOVED this Pinot Grigio so much… we have not see it at Trader Joe’s in a couple of years. Our suggestion is to 1) Ask the folks at your local Trader Joe’s store if they can get it for you or 2) Go to your favorite liquor store and see if they can track it down for you. Just a thought…we have enjoyed Trader Joe’s Charles Shaw Pinot Grigio, not the same as the Trebbiano, but still nice for a gift. Good Luck!

    We love Vola Trebbiano Pinot Grigio (white)but haven’t been able to find it in any of the Trader Joes stores in Scottsdale, Arizona for a while now. Has it been discontinued? How horrible if that’s so! Any chance we’ll be able to buy it again?

      Sorry, I have not seen this wine at our Trader Joe’s in Kansas City either. Why not try a local wine specialty shop and see if they can special order some for you? Good Luck!
