Landon Winery - Texas Tempranillo

Stopped at a local winery for a glass wine after dinner.  The winery is Landon Winery located in McKinney, Texas.  They offer a number of wines to chose from; in our case, we decided on their Tempranillo.  This one gets a Good Rating!


Churchill's Pub - Wine and Mixed Drinks, McKinney Texas

Stopped at a local bar called Churchill's Pub.  Ordered mixed drinks and their house red wines - a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.  Pass on the mixed drinks; the Limoncella Martini was not what we were looking for.  But, the house red wines were!  Both get a Good Rating.  Problem is we forgot the name of the Winery.  It start with "Shadow..." else we forget the other words.


Yellowtail Pinot Noir Shiraz

Here is a red wine that comes from Yellowtail Winery of Australia.  We liked their Shiraz; we also like this one - a mix of Pinot Noir and Shiraz!  This one gets a Good Rating from the Winos!


Margarita Time at Gloria's

Continuing with the Margarita break, stopped at Gloria's Restaurant for Happy Hour.  We still consider this the best Margarita in our area... just be careful, don't drink more than two else it will be painful the next morning!



PS:  Could not pass up the Ice Cream and Plantain Dessert!

Margarita Time at Jalapenos

Decided to take a Margarita break and stopped at a local eatery that we have not been to in a long time.  It is a Tex-Mex Restaurant called Jalapenos.  Ordered the Traditional Margarita as the Mercedes Premium Margarita is very good but very strong in alcohol content.  They still make a good Margarita!


Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

Here is a red wine we liked; easily earned a Good Rating as both Winos agreed to purchase it again in the future.  Comes from Robert Mondavi... Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2010.  Do give this one a try.

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.










Mixed drink was tasty, too.  It's made with Chambord Vodka, Chambord Liquer, Lemonade, Cranberry, and a squeeze of Lemon!
