That's all I needed to know.

Besides, if this is truly the case, I doubt that I would find parking with all the 1986 Chevy Astro vans in the parking lot.

Exactly.

Although my trick is to go about 30 minutes before the close midweek. Run in and run out. Nobody there but the workers.

So the Trader Joe's down the street has been open for over a month now and the buzz is dying down, which means I've actually had time to explore the place.

As I suspected, Gone Bananas is a hell of a product. I also like the assortment of cereals they have over there. Though the kale chips sold there? Disgusting.

I don't trust wine that doesn't have a punt at the bottom of the bottle.

I used to live in TJs. Now I think they're slipping.

I've always enjoyed the robust, leathery mouthfeel of a good syrah, though I seldom have the occasion to sip that particular varietal. It's almost not worth drinking without a good steak, and who has the money for that sort of extravagance?

Is this new shop Lexington's first glimpse into the world of oenophilia?
