Had dinner at a Mexican Food Restaurant that we frequent. Really like their entrees as well as their House Margaritas. This round went with the Strawberry Margarita! Tasty....
A web log started by two Wine Enthusiasts, synonym for "Winos". Its intent is to log our thoughts and opinions about inexpensive wines available at local grocery and beverage stores. Our hope is to prevent other "Winos" from making the same mistakes we made with our wine purchases.

Electra Moscato
Here is a light wine with low alcohol content that both Winos really liked. Easily earns a Good Rating! Comes from the Quady Winery in Madera, CA. Made from the Orange Muscat grape. Has a sweet taste. Much sweeter than other Moscato Wines.

Barefoot Winery Sweet Red
Another offering from the Barefoot Winery. This one is their Sweet Red. It earns a Good Rating without a problem!
Santa's Contribution to the Winos.
Santa delivered a few bottles to the Winos this morning. Will have to post as we work through these selections. Some are familiar and we have had before. Others look new... Barefoot Sweet Red and Riesling!
Davinci's Chianti
Update: 4/13/2014: Not sure but this last bottle we purchased has us wavering on this one. Re-rating it as Neutral. Noticed an aftertaste that had the Red Wino confused.

Cavalli Pizzeria and Wine Bar - House Red (Merlot)
In this case, the Red Wine Wino opted for the Restaurant's House Red in a Merlot. Very good wine,... the Winos are rating this one "Good"! Will purchase this one again in the future!

Franzia Fruity Red Sangria
We have no issues with wine that comes in a cardboard box as long as it tastes good. In this case, it tastes good! Keeping this one in mind when the funds are running low (but would also buy it if rolling in dough!).

Lindeman's Bin 50 Shiraz
Have not had a Shiraz in a while. Pulled this one off the wine rack at home. Been gathering dust, so better late than never... Crafted in Australia and priced right - less than $5! Both Winos give this one a Good Rating.

Choctaw Casino's Diamond Back Lounge - House Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
PS: If you like live music and rockabilly sounds, you will like Lee Rocker and his band. Outstanding performance in a small group setting!
