Trinchero Family Estates - Wine Cube "Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz" 2009
Picked up a Wine Cube while at Target yesterday... bought it on a whim. Good thing! Really like this one. Both Winos agreed to purchase again in the future. A nice blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Easily earned a "Good Rating". Don't be bothered by the "wine in cardboard box", it is a good wine. Even better... stays fresh for 4 weeks after opening.

Gallo White Zinfandel
So.... having been disappointed with Gallo's Merlot, the two Winos decided to try their White Zinfandel. The hope was that it would fall in line with the Moscato and the Cabernet Sauvignon which were rated "Good". It did not... the two Winos rated it "Bad" and agreed not to buy it again. With so many better tasting White Zinfandels, one should skip Gallo's offering.

Gallo Merlot
Was looking forward to some red wine with our Spaghetti for dinner tonight. Unfortunately, the red wine did not deliver.... Not sure but both Winos agreed not to purchase this one again.
Not recommending this one. Gave it a "Bad Rating". Go with their Moscato or Cabernet Sauvignon and not the Merlot.

Gallo Moscato
Next sampling from the Gallo Winery is a Moscato. White Wine Wino went all in with this one and gave it a "Good Rating"! Red Wine Wino agreed but had trouble tasting any difference between Gallo's Moscato and other Wineries' Moscatos.
Regardless, still meets the criterion for a "Good Rating" - specifically, we would buy it again! One observation to note is that the label indicates a Gallo Winery in South Eastern Australia.

Gallo Cabernet Sauvignon
Sale at the local grocery story offered small bottles of Gallo wines for $1 a bottle. Picked up various reds and whites.... First one we tried was a Cabernet Sauvignon. Red Wine Wino gives it a thumbs up; White Wine Wino agreed.... earns it a "Good" rating! Don't worry about the screw top bottles, still delivers like other more expensive wines!

Woodbridge Merlot
Went out for dinner at a local eatery - Shogun Hibachi and Sushi Steakhouse in McKinney, Texas. Ordered a house red with the meal. Turned out to be a Merlot from the Woodbridge Winery. Both Winos gave it a "Good Rating". Had two glasses with dinner, went well with the Steak and Shrimp Combination!

Barefoot Moscato Spumante
Tried this one to ring in the New Year. A Sparkling Wine offered by Barefoot Winery.... Both Winos agreed to buy this one again! Picture the taste of a Moscato with bubbles. Rating: "Good"! Have not been disappointed by this Winery.
