When it comes to seasonal products, Trader Joe’s has got it down — especially for the season of autumn. Just last week, the rollout of pumpkin-flavored products began. From Pumpkin Greek Yogurt to Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread, Trader Joe’s have mastered the art of pumpkin spice. Pumpkin variations aren’t only available in traditional products, though — there’s also plenty of pumpkin-flavored alcoholic beverages. You can grab pumpkin beer, or even Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini. But what everyone is talking about this season is the Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay.
What is the Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay?
The Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay is exactly what it sounds like — a white wine that tastes like pumpkin spice. It’s made with a blend of lightly oaked, California Chardonnay wine, sweet Chardonnay grape juice, and of course, Pumpkin Spice flavoring. There’s notes of nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon: the perfect fall combination, if you ask me. The best part? You can get it for only $7!
What does it taste like?
Sometimes, pumpkin spice products are a hit or miss. They can be too sweet, have too much pumpkin flavor, or not taste like pumpkin at all. That’s not the case with this Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay, though. TikTok user @1amhym was skeptical when he first bought the wine, but was pleasantly surprised after he took a sip. He says it tastes just like autumn — what better flavor is there? He loves the flavor so much that he’s decided he’s going to stock up on bottles before they’re gone for the season. If that’s not a testament to how delicious this wine really is, then I don’t know what is.
TikToker Caroline Wick tried the wine when it was available last year. She gave it a 10/10 right after the first sip. According to her, it tastes just like a sweet cider, with a slight hint of pumpkin. She even said it doesn’t taste anything like chardonnay. If you’re someone who steers toward nonfizzy ciders, it sounds like this wine is perfect for you. Even if you don’t typically enjoy wine, this Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay might be your new favorite fall drink.
How long will it be available?
Like all seasonal Trader Joe’s products, the Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay is not available year round. It will only be available during the fall season, and while supplies last. That’s right — once they run out, that will be it for the season. Make sure you grab a bottle to try before they’re gone, and if you end up liking it, stock up! Who says you can’t buy a bunch of bottles and drink them throughout the year? After all, pumpkin spice doesn’t just have to be enjoyed in the fall. I’ll be sipping my Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay all the way into the summer.
