Becker Vineyard Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon #winetasting

Having "taste" of Becker Vineyard's Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon. Had this one previously, and the Winos liked it and agreed to purchase again... earning it a Winos' Wine Guide Good Rating!

Still tasty, still liking it, still plan to buy again in the future! Do join us in a glass of red wine and an ukulele time song... "have I told you lately that I love you!"

Grape Creek Vineyard - Cabernet Blanc #wine

Another round of a favorite of the Winos - Grape Creek Vineyard - Cabernet Blanc.  It's sweet but not too sweet, and it's made with strawberries and other berries as well!

Grapecreek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon #favoritewine

Grapecreek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was a surprise for the Winos... sweet, made with strawberries, longberries, and wildberries... not your normal Cabernet but oh so tasty. This one easily gets a good rating! Plus it bumps others from the list and is considered the Winos' Number One Cabernet Sauvignon! Do give it a try while in Fredricksburg, Texas!

PS: Had a great time grocery shopping at Central Market. Tasty produce to chose from!

Cabernet Sauvignon from Woodwork in CA!

Cabernet Sauvignon from Woodwork Winery in California was a tasty one. Had this one with a home cooked dinner of Carne Asada! Went well with the spicy meat and grilled vegetables. Winos give Woodwork's Cabernet Sauvignon a Good Rating!

Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon

New one for us... Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon. This one has a hint of mocha and goes well cheeses. For the Red Wine Wino, it goes well with anything but he is too easy when it comes to red wines. White Wine Wino gives it a thumbs up! Good Rating for Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon!

Black Box Cabernet Sauvignon,

Black Box Cabernet Sauvignon and pork loin cooked in olive oil and garlic. Wow... what a mix!

5k in the Morning, then some Vintage Crush Wine! #cabernetsauvignon #redwine

Ran a 5k in the morning; then did some "honey do's". Ending the day chillin in grillin while having a glass of Vintage Crush Cabernet Sauvignon. Coming in at 13.5% alcohol content, Red Wine Wino says yes to buying it again. White Wine Wino agrees but does not the "dryness" of the red wine. No worries... Vintage Crush gets a Good Rating!

Belle Made for You - Cabernet Sauvignon

Belle Made for You - Cabernet Sauvignon rated a Best Buy by 2016 Wine Enthusiast. Gave it a try and the Winos agree to purchase again... hence, it earns the Winos' Good Rating!

California Dream Cabernet Sauvignon #redwine

New one that the Red Wine Wino already liked just by the 13.5% Alcohol Content. Luckily, the White Wine Wino keeps everything in perspective. It's tasty enough to get the Good Rating for California Dream Cabernet Sauvignon!

Sideshow No. 2 - The Puppetmaster

Sideshow No. 2 - The Puppetmaster comes from Australia; it's a blended wine of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. It's strong in alcohol content and strong on flavor! This one gets a Good Rating from the Winos!

No #fishing today. Long work day and cold temps. Chillin with a glass of #wine from down under for now!

Hidden Crush Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

New red wine we have not tried before. It comes from California from the Hidden Crush Winery. It's a Cabernet Sauvignon vintage 2014. Forgot how much it costs per bottle; no worries, this one gets a Good Rating from the Winos! It comes with a screw top but don't let it fool you... it has a 13.5% alcohol content to makes things interesting!

What a day. No #fishing but still a good day! Lunch at the new #elpolloloco and then chillin with #redwine after mowing the lawn!

Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon

Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon is one we have not tried before. It has a tartness that we have not not experienced with other wines. But, the kicker is it remains smooth as you drink it. In other words, it does not make us pucker our lips like a lemon slice does. Interesting for us.... both Winos agree to purchase this one again!

Assessment: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Additional notes: Note the tartness that remains smooth to drink.

Winos Rating: Bad, Neutral, Good
- White Wine Wino - Buy again? Yes / No
- Red Wine Wino - Buy Again? Yes /

Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon

Not tried this one before.... Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon. Red Wine with 13% Alcohol Content gets a Good Rating from the Red Wine Wino, White Wine Wino makes the critical decision... and rates it Good as well!

Assessment: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Additional notes:

Winos Rating: Bad, Neutral, Good
- White Wine Wino - Buy again? Yes / No

Cafe Malaga - House Sangri and House Red

Cafe Malaga in McKinney, Texas for taps and drinks. Tried their House Sangri and House Red. Sangria is tasty but not enough kick to interest the Red Wine Wino.

Did order a glass of Red Wine; Had this one before... Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon. This one gets a Good Rating.

Top Golf House Red - Cabernet Sauvignon

At Top Golf, shagging a few balls and throwing back a few Cabernets!

Liberty Creek Cabernet Sauvignon

Here is one that gets a Good Rating from the Winos.  Had Liberty Creek's other offerings and have been happy.  The Cabernet Sauvignon holds its own as well.  12% Alcohol Content, less than $6 for the bigger bottle, and it tastes good!

Llano Estacado Signature Red Meritage

This one is a blended wine that mixes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and a Cabernet Franc.  It comes from Llano Estacado Winery and is called their Signature Red Meritage.  This one gets a Bad Rating as both Winos agreed not to purchase it again.  Too much going on with the different wines, ending in an after taste that neither Winos liked.  Oh well, will have to move on to other wines.

Top Golf - House Red Wines

Was out the other night at the local driving range - Top Golf.  Ordered a couple of glasses of their House Red Wine.   Did not get the brand but did like them both - Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Both get a "Good Rating" from the Winos!

Dudley's Draw House Wines (College Station, TX)

Playing darts at another watering hole at the old alma mater, decided to "taste" a few glasses of wine.  Dudley's Draw was serving Lucky 7 Cabernet Sauvignon and Lucky 7 Chardonnay.  The Cabernet gets a Neutral Rating; White Wine Wino was not convinced to buy it again.  The Chardonnay gets a Good Rating; both Winos agreed on this one!
