Wine and Moonshine... Like Them Both; Cool They Rhyme, too #frontera #conchaytoro #yellowtailmerlot #climaxmoonshine

Been enjoying glasses of wine and the occasional Moonshine kicker recently. For wines, the Winos still agree Concha Y Toro's Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is still gets a Good Rating as well as Yellowtail Merlot!

Then, a little shot or two of Tim Smith's Climax Moonshine to fortify the evening's entertainment is always a good bet... Original and Fire both get Good Ratings from the Winos!

Gloria's House Merlot

Had a glass of wine with dinner last week at Gloria's. Ordered the House Merlot. If our taste buds don't deceive us, we think it was Yellowtail's Merlot! Always liked Yellowtail's wines. This one gets a Good Rating!

Yellowtail Merlot

Had this one before.  Having it again. Still maintains a Good Rating, hence the reason why the Winos purchased (and finished) an bottle again!  Liking the wines from "Down Under"!

Yellowtail Merlot

Did we say that we liked the wines from Yellowtail?  We do!  Shiraz is still our favorite Red Wine from the winery, but their Merlot comes a close second.  Rating: "Good"!
