Stopped in Coppell, Texas for dinner. Ordered a House Red Wine from a Mexican Food Restaurant called Anamia's. It was a Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon. Liked this one... Gets a "Good 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.

Village Burger's Chamborita
Had a hankering for something other than wine. Decided to stop at a local eatery that two Winos like - Village Burger Restaurant. They offer great burgers; more important... they offer great late evening "Happy Hour Specials"! In this case, we chose a Margarita they mix with a liqueur and call it the Chamborita. Good stuff,... potent, too. As a general rule, we limit ourselves to two drinks and no more as the drink tends to be on the strong side.
Barefoot Winery's Red Moscato
Here is an offering from Barefoot Winery; it's a Red Moscato. We like it but do prefer their Moscato over this one. The Red Moscato has some "fizz" and has a Sangria like feel to it. We would buy this one again, so it gets a "Good Rating"!

Franzia - Chillable Red
Here is another red wine we picked up from Franzia.... It's their Chillable Red! Not a bad wine for the price - 5 liters for $12.00. Red Wine Wino easily rated this one as a Good! White Wine Wino followed in kind. A little light on the alcohol content for a red wine (9.0% on the box). Regardless, do try it when you get a chance.

Grapes on the Vine?
Started a Grape Vine in the garden last year. Looks like it made it through the heat last summer and may even make it again this year. Too bad, the White Wine Wino chose to pick one way too early... oh well, gonna keep on watering it and hopefully it continues to grow!
Rockfish Seafood Grill - House Red
Had a hankering for seafood last night. Ordered food and their House Red Wine. Not bad, not bad,... too bad that we forgot the name of it. Sounded something like "Twisted...." Oh well, will have to remember it next time we dine in!

Peter Vella Vineyard's - Sangria
Here is another "wine in a box" from Peter Vella Vineyard's. It is their Sangria. Both Winos agreed to buy this one again. Earns a "Good Rating"! Right price, strong in spirit, and a great thirst quencher for the hot Summer!
