Beringer White Merlot

Here is one that we have not tried before... or at least we don't recall if we did.  It's Beringer's White Merlot.  White Wine Wino chose it; Red Wine Wino liked it.  This one gets a "Good Rating"!  Give it a try when you get a chance.  This trip went with two bottles for the wine rack.

Calahan's, New Braunfels, Texas

One last stop in New Braunfels before moving on.  This one is an Irish Pub serving Barefoot Merlot for their House Red.  It's Calahan's located in downtown New Braunfels.  Barefoot has always been a consistent producer of wines we liked.  This stop re-affirmed our opinion with the Barefoot Merlot earning another "Good Rating"!


The Ale House, New Braunfels, Texas

Continuing on our "walkabout" in downtown New Braunfels, checked out The Ale House and ordered their House Red and a Pale Ale.... House Red turned out to be a Copperidge Merlot; Pale Ale was one we have not tried before - 151 Austin Ale.  The Copperidge Merlot earned a "Good Rating"; moreover, although we are not big on ales, the 151 Austin Ale was a pleasant surprise!


Scores Sport Bar, New Braunfels, Texas - Woodbridge Merlot

While out and about this weekend, stopped at a sports bar in New Braunfels to checkout a few NCAA Football Games.  While reviewing the scores, ordered their House Red which turned out to be the Woodbridge Merlot.  Had this one before and liked it.  This time, both Winos liked it again... this one gets a "Good Rating" again!


Beringer Pink Moscato

We have tried other Beringer offerings.  This round we tried Beringer's Pink Moscato.  Sweet wine with a slightly higher alcohol content than the white wine variety.  This one gets a "Good Rating" - price and taste won both Winos over.

Landon Winery - Sweet Wines

Went back to Landon Winery in downtown McKinney (Texas).  Decided to try their Sweet Wines - Raspberry, Peach, and Sweet Red.  Of the three the Raspberry and the Sweet Red earned Good Ratings; we will buy them again with a leaning toward the Raspberry Wine over the Sweet Red.  Both were good, just liked it over the Sweet Red more.  The Peach Wine was good too but did not carry the "umph" that hard core Winos like us enjoy (more like crave) when we are drinking.


Churchill's Pub

Returned to Churchill's Pub for more wine and spirits... ordered two glasses of Chardonnay and a Jack and Coke.  Chardonnay gets a Neutral rating as the White Wine Wino did not like it but the Red Wine Wino was good with it.
