Here is one from Argentina - a blended wine tha tis 80% Bonarda and 20% Merlot. Better yet... 12.5% Alcohol Content keeps the Red Wine Wino happy. White Wine Wino agreed to purchase again but at the $3.99 sale price instead of the $9.95 price before it was marked down. Winos give this one a God Rating!

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.
