$10

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!

Nice and spicy, like the young maiden it should be served to. Tart, tasty, nimble, and highly energetic; you could do much worse with a bed partner or a wine.

Sacré Dieu! If she wears panties, this will remove them. Be she a zitella or a water sprite, she will quaff heartily of this sublimely balanced nectar. Serve alone or with most any food. If you're a foul rogue who desires a single nights acquaintanceship, serve slightly chilled and by itself. For those of us who prefer lasting friendships, serve with pleasant and tasty snacks. She will be yours, it is your choice as to how long you shall keep her in your good stead.

It’s a nice blend – a very nice blend – from South Africa. It manages to hit all the right notes for me and perhaps you too. Try some today, as the price is certainly right. This is the 2nd wine from these guys I’ve given a good grade too. Maybe I’m slipping. This is one of those wines you wonder what might taste like in another year.

Another “theme” wine from South Africa. On this one there’s a picture of a cheetah – in full run – on the label and they even follow through with cute cheetah print spotting on the fake cork. What’s inside? Surprisingly, it’s a pretty good wine. I’ve had worse from South Africa.

Good for both refined sprites and unselective nymphs. It occasionally has enough of a bite during its finish that you'll want something sweet around when drinking it. If you're just drinking with the boys, find something cheaper.

To misquote Clara Peller (from those “Where’s the beef” commercials, “Where’s the wine?” I had always heard about people eagerly waiting the fall Beaujolais Nouveau. After drinking this one I’m not sure why. If you aren’t a devotee of something like this, perhaps you can spend your money elsewhere.

It’s an another wine from the Gallo stable, this one a white. Good for sipping but perhaps not for dinner.

Another from the Gallo stable, this one better than you might expect for the price. But better perhaps with a dinner than drinking by itself.

It’s a moderating pleasing wine for about $10. Not bad, but for the money, you can probably find better.

I’d make fun of the name, (another crazy name from California) but it’s really pretty darn good. I’ll have to wait to sample “Bridgette Bardoux Boudreaux” from France. I’m telling you that name is too good to pass up. BTW, Zin-fat-u-a-tion is only available at World Market stores, according to the label.

From the people who brought you those nice Rieslings, a red. It’s not a bad one either. The wine comes in a very cool looking red metal bottle (at least the 375ml version.)

It’s called “Best foot forward” and it really seems to be. Not to sweet, not too dry, not to citrus, not any off notes, in other words, a nice drinking wine. It’s another one of my “field tests.” It was the white wine available on American Airlines at 34,000 feet.

It’s a nice representative of a Pinot. I ran across this one at a local supermarket. And on sale, too. Good with a nice light dinner or drinking on it’s own.
