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.

Londoner Pub - House Wine and a Mixed Drink
Listened to a live band while sitting at a local eatery - Londoner Pub. Ordered their House Wine and a mixed drink called the Fleur De Lis. House wine was a Merlot that the Winos liked, easily earning a Good Rating.

Barefoot Winery's Pink Moscato
Having tried their other Moscatos, noticed this one on the shelf at the local grocery store - Barefoot Winery's Pink Moscato. Rated at 9% Alcohol Content, so it's a little less than their Sweet Moscato, this one gets a "Good Rating" from the Winos! Reminds us of the Sweet Moscato but has a "Zinfandel" feel to it. Regardless, it tastes good and it's light on the pocket book.

Church Street BBQ - House Reds
One more stop while roaming the off-campus area known locally as the Northgate back at Texas A&M. This one was not there back when the two Winos went to school back in the day. But, we liked the live music, so we stopped to check them out. While there, ordered a Ziegenbock Beer and then their House Reds they offered. Guess what... the House Reds were Barefoot Winery's Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. "Good Ratings" for both of them!
Dixie Chicken Red Sangria
Making the rounds on the old stomping grounds this weekend. Had a Lonestar Beer and then a Red Sangria from the Dixie Chicken! Guess what... both Winos give the Red Sangria a "Good Rating"! Will buy this one again.
Taco Cabana Margaritas (College Station, Texas)
This is one the Winos always can agree on. Stopped at our alma mater... Gig'em Aggies! Taco Cabana in College Station still makes a decent Margarita; easily earns a "Good Rating"!
Cavalli Pizzeria and Wine Bar - House Berry Sangria
Here are two Sangrias the Winos tried at a favored pizzeria. Cavalli Pizzeria and Wine Bar in McKinney, Texas offers a White Berry Sangria and a Red Berry Sangria. The Sangrias are made daily with the fruit allowed to soak overnight. The Winos gave it a try. And, decided on a "Good Rating" for the Red Berry Sangria and a "Neutral Rating" for the White Berry Sangria. The Red Wine Wino just could not agree on buying the White Berry Sangria again.

Choctaw Casino House Wine - Liberty Creek Merlot
Was out hitting the slots at Choctaw Casino. Ordered a House Red Wine; turned out to be Liberty Creek Merlot! We liked this one in the past; we still like it now. The Winos give it another "Good Rating"!
