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.

Frontera Vintage Red
Here is one that comes from Chile. Offered by Frontera, they call it their Vintage Red. Red Wine Wino was easily persuaded to buy this one again. White Wine Wino had mixed feelings. Thought was it's okay but there are better Reds at comparable prices. This one gets a Neutral Rating.

Barefoot Impression Red Blend
Here is a new one that we tried; comes from Barefoot Winery. From the back label,
"Here at Barefoot, we have a 25 year history of supporting non-profit organizations. With our Impresssion Red Blend, we celebrate others who are also making an impression in their local communities. Visit us at Barefootwine.com to be inspired by the stories of our Soles of the Year and help us celebrate people doing good. Impression Red Blend had delicious flavors of blackberry and currant, layered with aromas of chocolate and spice."
This one gets a Good Rating from the Winos!

Four Loko - Margarita
Not sure how to categorize this one so we are calling it a fortified beer. It has a sour Margarita taste with the hint of beer lurking in the background. Tried it mainly to see how strong it was. Rated at 12% Alcohol Content, it is definitely strong. This one gets Neutral Rating as the White Wine Wino did not like the sourness. Red Wine Wino was good with it but anything that is strong in alcohol content will get him to but it again.

Franzia White Zinfandel
On a White Zinfandel kick for some reason. Ended up getting a 5 liter box of Franzia White Zinfandel while filling up at the local 7-11 Convenience Store. This one is a consistent "Good Rating"; even better still comes in at 10% Alcohol Content.
Beringer White Zinfandel
While at a wedding last weekend, had a glass of White Zinfandel. A quick look at the bottle confirmed it was Beringer White Zinfandel. Like before, this one gets a Good Rating!
Be Flirty Pink Moscato 2012
Had this one before. It was bottled in 2011 last time. This time it was bottled in 2012. Like last time, this one gets a Good Rating, again!
