Wines

It’s a wine of a somewhat lackluster effort and you might want to ignore the marketing blurb on the back label. You could do worse, but frankly, there are other better choices out there.

An all around nice wine. You can drink it alone (but really, who likes to drink alone?) or you can pair it with food. Try it with roasted pork or some salted, dry roasted pistachios.

It’s something of a surprise, this wine. I’m not much of a Cab drinker, but this one is better than many I drink in this price range. Enjoy, perhaps with some dark chocolate.

Mellow, soft, and very tasty. While it doesn't have great depth or intensity, it is an all around 'great' drinking and companion wine. Pick a young immature sprite to drink this with. And at this price, it also good for a night of carousing.

For seven dollars and a blended wine you could do a lot worse than this one. Certainly a better wine than the Joe Blow Chardonnay tasted earlier. I’ve not tasted anything quite like this since the Relax Red I had a while back. Enjoy some today!

Cheap, but not one you’ll want to trot out as the first bottle. Maybe the third bottle, however when no-one’s looking. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

It’s a wine that is lackluster at best. Another word might be “blah”. Not one I’d recommend for sipping or with dinner. Other Chardonnays for the price are better choices. Try them first.

As Pinot’s go, not a bad one. Higher grades might have been garnered if there was a more intense aroma. Otherwise, drink it up!

The wine has some positive points, but it’s tannins at the end give this wine a lesser grade. I guess for $7 you really can’t expect too much. Some better wine choices, if more expensive, are Dynamite 2004, Cline 2005, Zinfatuation 2005 (only available at World Market.)

This one tasted better in the store than at home. Not a bad wine by any stretch of the imagination, just not what I remembered tasting in the store. Did I somehow get the wrong bottle?

Overall it’s a pleasant sipping wine and ok with a lighter dinner. I’m partial to lighter reds, and this one fits the bill!

It’s a passable white wine for most occasions. Sipable, if the 2nd bottle you open for the evening. It would be ok for dinner too, but don’t tax it too much.

It’s a pleasant wine, if not a particularly inspiring one. Good with dinner and in a pinch, sipping on its own if needed.

One of a rainbow – and I mean do mean rainbow – of wines from these guys. When all the varieties are all lined up together it makes a rainbow from one end of the spectrum to the other. This one isn’t bad for the price but another year might help it or some aeration.

It’s a pedestrian wine, at best. Better for dinner than sipping by itself, perhaps. It’s one of many I’ve had of late. In a word, don’t Devour.
