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.

The Naked Grape - Pinot Noir
Here is a red wine we liked. Comes from California's The Naked Grape Winery. With "aromas of black cherry and blueberry", this one easily gets a Good Rating as both Winos agreed to purchase again. Like the price; like the alcohol content, and like the taste!

Reunite Sweet Red
Here is an import from Italy. Comes from Reunite... a Sweet Red to be served cold or on ice. Like the price. Like the taste. Perfect for a hot Summer afternoon. This one gets a Good Rating.

Foxhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
True to our rating system... a Good Rating means we will purchase a wine again. In this case, we rated Foxhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon as Good the first time we tried it. It gets another Good Rating this round!

Zaca Mesa Z Gris Rose
Here is a new one! First time tasting this Winery's offerings. Heard good things about their other wines but this one gets a "Bad Rating". Both Winos agreed not to buy this one again. Had a taste that is hard to describe other than "buyer beware"; save your money and buy something else.
Michele Chiarlo - Barbera D'Asti
Here is red wine imported from Italy. White Wine Wino picked up at the recommendation of the store she was shopping at. Red Wine Wino liked it! Reminded him of a Chianti. Both Winos agreed to buy again... it gets a Good Rating!

Gloria's Restaurant House Margarita
Hit a 105 degrees yesterday. Decided to quench the thirst with our favorite Margarita offered my Gloria's Restaurant. Still is our Number One Choice for a Margarita!
Savour Tasting Room (Allen, Texas) - House Red - Ecco Merlot
Was out and about this past week. Noticed a wine tasting venue at a local market. Heard some live music and saw a pretty lady singing her heart out. So, why not stop for a taste of wine. Ordered their House Red - Ecco Merlot. Tasty wine that the Winos agreed to purchase again, in fact, had several glasses to be sure of course!
Franzia Chillable Red
Had this one in the past... the two Winos continue to give it a Good Rating and true to the rating definition, we have purchased it again!
