Eat More Cheese. This is not just a piece of advice, it's one of the New Year's Resolutions we're certain we'll be able to keep in 2026. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe's, we talk to our Category Manager for Cheese, who shares her passion for all things fromage, and takes us inside the world of cheese at Trader Joe's, and beyond. Whether you're a regular visitor to the cheese case at your neighborhood Trader Joe's, or you're checking out the shreds, spreads, wedges, and wheels for the first time, there's something here for you, and you might even discover a new favorite!  Transcript (PDF)

Hard as it may be to fathom, we're headed into the home stretch, with almost an entire year in the rearview mirror. This is a time of parties and celebrations, gatherings of families and friends. All of these occasions could benefit from bubbles, specifically those you'll sip in a glass of crisp and refreshing sparkling wine. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe's, we're traveling to Sonoma, deep in the heart of California's wine country, where some of our favorite sparkling wines are carefully crafted and bottled. Travel with us to Northern California, then make the short trek to your neighborhood Trader Joe's and pick up a bottle of your favorite bubbly. It'll make any occasion special. Transcript (PDF)

Welcome to another episode of the Trader Joe's Wine Club, brought to you by Inside Trader Joe's. In this sip-sized segment, we have a couple of super suggestions for wines to serve for Thanksgiving. It's a big meal, filled with big flavors, and the right wine pairing for such a varied feast can seem elusive. Not anymore. Join us for a conversation with one of our resident wine whizzes, where we uncork a classic California Chardonnay, and a Pinot Noir that proves you can (and perhaps should) serve red wine with poultry.
