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.

Messina Hof Ebony Ports of Call
Here is one from a Texas Winery near the Winos Alma Mater. Messina Hof Winery's offering of a Port Wine they call Ebony Ports of Call. Sweet, tasty, and strong at 16% Alcohol Content. Red Wine Wino is happy with it! White Wine Wino likes it sweetness! Both agree to purchase again. It gets a Good Rating easily!

Yellowtail Sangria
Yellowtail came out with several new wines. This one is their Sangria. It gets a Good Rating, both Winos agree to purchase this one again!
Cavit Moscato
White Wine Wino picked this one again while grocery shopping. Like before, the White Wine Wino easily gave it a thumbs up. Red Wine Wino still thought it was too sweet, Still cannot agree on purchasing it again,.... this Moscato gets a "Neutral" rating.

Davinci's Chianti - Updated
From a previous post... "The Red Wine Wino has a weakness for Chianti. In this case, Davinci's offering imported from overseas hit the spot. Both Winos agree to buy it again. Rating: Good!"
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. Did notice that the last bottle was from 2009; this one is from 2012. Maybe 2012 was not a good year for this one?

Piccini Chianti
Here is a tasty offering from Piccini. It's a Chianti that gets a Good Rating from both Winos. The Red Wine Wino has a weakness for Chiantis. Good thing the White Wine Wino was around to give it a un-biased rating!
