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.

Lucky Duck Moscato
MooYah Burger - Tasty Meals! (Oops)
Many apologies!
Sincerely,
"The Winos"
MooYah Burger still delivers on tasty meals! Ordered a burger and fries to go. Appetite was satisfied. One word of caution... A large order of fries is a lot of fries for one person. Be ready to feed a family of four and then some with that order! Still rating MooYah Burger as our Number One place for a hearty burger meal!

Rex-Goliath Merlot
Both Winos tried it and agreed with "Formerly Anonymous"! This one we will keep in mind for future purchases. Easily earns a "Good Rating"!
Also, noticed the Double Gold Label rated by the San Francisco Chronicle in 2005, a 13.5% alcohol content, and a price that was less than $6.00 (for our grocery store)!
Red Wine Wino is leaning heavily on rating it as #1 of Merlot's rated so far!

Beringer Pinot Grigio 2010
Opened a bottle of Beringer's Pinot Grigio vintage 2010. White Wine Wino liked it. Red Wine Wino was okay with it but would prefer other white wines. Since the Winos could not agree... It gets a Neutral Rating.

Yellowtail Riesling
Liked Yellowtail's red wines.... Decided to give their white wines a try. Went with a Riesling and was disappointed. Both Winos decided not to buy this one again. Will continue to buy their red wines and will try their other white wines but for this round the Riesling gets a Bad Rating since both Winos agreed not to buy this one again.

Menage A Trois - Moscato
We liked Menage A Trois' Red Wine... So we decided to try their Moscato. Made from wines from three growing regions and each crafted by a different winemaker. Sweet blend with a higher alcohol content then other Moscatos! 11% is on the label. Winos agree to buy again... Rating: Good!

Yellowtail - Cabernet Sauvignon
Here is one that we have had before. A red wine from the Yellowtail Winery that easily maintains its Good Rating. This Cabernet Sauvignon stays high on the list of the Winos' favorites!

Cupcake Vineyards - Piemonte Moscato
Here is a Moscato that the White Wine Wino picked up today. Comes from Cupcake Vineyards in Italy. Sweet taste... Sweeter than other Moscatos we have tried. Both Winos agreed on a Good Rating. Will buy it again in the future.
