Before we can start our Texas Hill Country "Wine Tour" aka six bottles of wine purchased by the White Wine Wino, we better start with a local winery. Landon Winery Raspberry Wine still gets a Good Rating from the Winos!
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.

Marilyn Merlot 2001
New Merlot that we have not tried before. It's called the Marilyn Merlot from 2001. Had trouble opening the bottle; cork did not stay intact. Had to break the cork apart to get it out of the bottle. Once done, removed the cork pieces from the first glass.
Was pleasantly surprised... 13.5% Alcohol Content. It's made in California with 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet grapes. Even more royalties are paid to the Lee Strasberg Institute and the Monroe Young Family Center.
