Cul-De-Sac Merlot
Here is a Merlot that caught the Red Wine Wino off guard. Cost $2.98 at the local Grocery Store. Got an immediate "Good Rating" after the first glass! White Wine Wino agreed that it was a good red wine but still prefers white wine over red wine. Go figure.... Regardless, both agreed to purchase again! Result: "Good Rating".

Just discovered Cul De Sac...was really surprised how good the Cab was.No, it's not one of those BIG bad old world cabs that I love, not even sure it tastes like a cab at all, but it is a decent red wine with some complexity to it...a real surprise in a $3 wine!

Central Market has this stuff at the Fort Worth Store by the truck-load...at first I sorta upturned the nose...but necessity required I "cut back" on things and the first to go was the $10-$15 bottles of wine.
ReplyDeleteThis $3 stuff drinks like the $10-15 bottles...a winner! 5 bottles for $15 What steal what a find!

i agree with anonymous :)
ReplyDeleteWhich anonymous???
ReplyDeleteExcellent wine, although I prefer the Sweet Red. Decided to check it out as it's going for $3 a bottle at HEB here in San Antonio. Really smooth and tasty. I'll take a bottle of this over the expensive labels any day of the week. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's the only wine that we buy now. The problem is that, because it's so cheap, there is really no incentive for my wife and I to not each drink a whole bottle. Another big plus is that there is never an issue with hangovers.
ReplyDeleteDoes not turn my tongue purple. This is the good stuff
ReplyDeletetheir sweet red wine is my favorite wine and practically the only one I can truly say I enjoy. I really wanted to enjoy wine. I love the whole ide of it. The history and heritage, the culture. Pretty much the only thing I did not enjoy about wine was the taste!:) so I went on a mission to try as many wines as I could, all price ranges. Cul de sacs sweet red something I tolerate, but something I actively enjoy and seek out. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time finding it locally now.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable. This is the worst.
