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.

Yosemite Road Cabernet Sauvignon
Bought this one on a whim... went for $2.99! Comes from Yosemite Road Vineyard in California. Both Winos agreed to purchase this one again, so it earned a "Good Rating". Moreover, the Red Wine Wino is going to put it out on the line and say it is his "Number One Cabernet Sauvignon"! Why,... great taste, high 12.5% alcohol content, and less than $3.00!

Almaden Heritage Moscato
Here is a Moscato that comes from Almaden Winery. They call it their Heritage Moscato and is offered in 5 liter wine boxes. It is a sweet wine much like most Moscatos and comes in at a healthy 11% Alcohol Content. This one gets a good rating as both Winos agreed to purchase again.

CCPA Divino Merlot
While coming back from our local lake, decided to stop at a convenience store (Gomez' Convenience Store) in Culeako, Texas for some refreshments. Noticed a single serving wine from CCPA Divino Merlot. Gave it a try; gets a Good Rating from both Winos. Red Wine Wino liked it even more because of the 13% Alcohol Content!
Hank's Grill (McKinney) House Red - Merlot
Was out one evening in McKinney, Texas listening to Texas Singer/Songwriter Roger Creager. While listening to some great tunes, had a few beers and a little wine. Ordered the House Red. Not sure about the brand but it was good. This one gets a Good Rating from the Winos!

Frontera Vintage Red
Here is one that comes from Chile. Offered by Frontera, they call it their Vintage Red. Red Wine Wino was easily persuaded to buy this one again. White Wine Wino had mixed feelings. Thought was it's okay but there are better Reds at comparable prices. This one gets a Neutral Rating.

Barefoot Impression Red Blend
Here is a new one that we tried; comes from Barefoot Winery. From the back label,
"Here at Barefoot, we have a 25 year history of supporting non-profit organizations. With our Impresssion Red Blend, we celebrate others who are also making an impression in their local communities. Visit us at Barefootwine.com to be inspired by the stories of our Soles of the Year and help us celebrate people doing good. Impression Red Blend had delicious flavors of blackberry and currant, layered with aromas of chocolate and spice."
This one gets a Good Rating from the Winos!
