I would like to ask for the wisdom of all you wine connoisseurs.

I would like to buy wine to bring as a souvenir when I go back home to Japan, but I am not a wine drinker, so I would appreciate it if you could help me.
The conditions are
1 . reasonably priced
2 . available in the area ( like Trejo )
3 . good for the price and not too picky
quite selfish ( strict ? If you have any suggestions, please let me know !.
Thank you very much.

You can't choose in those conditions, because the taste and preference of each individual is so different at the supermarket level.
You have to buy what you can find at Trejo's.

Yes, that's right.

So, if you were to buy and give a gift from Trejo, which one would you recommend ?
What would you suggest ??

If you search for California Wine on Amazon and do a Google Shopping search for reputable wines.

There are many conditions of purchase, but we do not know the preferences of the recipients. They are strict.
Since you're here, buy him a good California ・ wine.
If there is a Trejo in your neighborhood, is there also Total Wine&More ?

Shakira,
you are right. When I buy other items, I search for reviews on Amazon and then check again on Ebay or Google, etc.
I had forgotten to do that with wine.
I'll try it !

Kanekase Taro,
California, so California wine.
Total Wine was also suggested by someone who gave me an idea via the information board.
I'll try to find it.

Thank you all for your help.

Justin's Cabernet is available at the local supermarket for about $20 and is very good, and since it's from Paso Robles, it's a good Southern California souvenir, and I often buy half bottles myself as gifts.

I couldn't post it properly because of the link I posted, so I'll do it again.
For under $20, Paso Robles Justin, Daou
For $40-50, Caymus half bottles, Orin Swift, Prisoners, Stags Leap
Around here, you can buy them at a large supermarket or BevMo and they are safe. They are tasty and make good souvenirs !.

Robert Mondavi red ( Cabernet or Merlot ) should be fine ?
good or bad.
They sell it in Trejo and in the supermarkets around there. If it's on sale, it's probably $15 or so.

> That's what you're asking me
Since you're buying California souvenirs for me, why don't you buy California ・ wine with a priority on taste
rather than 1, 2, or 3 on "ego conditions"? I know, right?
That's how I usually understand it. #10, you've been in bed with a cold ? your eyes are dizzy ?.

I'd go out of my way to bring cheap wine as a souvenir even though he doesn't drink wine It's heavy, it might break, you can't bring it in with any patience ?

If it's Trejo, Bag or something is cheaper and appreciated.

↑ I agree

TRADER JOE'S tote bag white is easy to use, because even Amazon ( Japan and US ) $ 10.00 more.

14 The wines that anyone would consider good are the ones that have been sitting in barrels for years, but are expensive.
If you are concerned about taste, it is much smarter to go to the duty free store at the airport.

When you go to France, there are many kinds of wines, but I have had the experience that you can't go wrong if you order Bordeaux wine, no matter how expensive or inexpensive it may be. Charles III of England was drinking Bordeaux wine the other day, wasn't he? Whenever I go to a supermarket in France and spend more than $10 for a Bordeaux wine, it is always OK.

If you are a member of Costco you can get a good 4 bottles of Bordeaux wine for about $30 something right now. I have already bought 8 bottles.
If you are going from California to Japan, but only if you are okay with French wine. California wines, cheap ones, will be sour.
