Vendange Chardonnay and White Zinfandel

Tried the box servings of the Vendange Chardonnay and White Zinfandel. Like the bottled offering of the White Zinfandel, both get a Neutral Rating. White Wine Wino remains picky.. opting not to buy again in the future.

Red Wine Wino still liked the Chardonnay; 13% Alcohol Content is what made his decision. Hurrumph!

Vendange Pinot Grigio

Vendange Pinot Grigio gets a Neutral Rating. Not a big Pinot Grigio fan was likely the reason. Red Wine Wino was good with it but the White Wino opted not to buy again.

Sam's Club for Gabbiano Chianti

Joe's Crab Shack - Shark Bite

Not wine but... was out for dinner last night at Joe's Crab Shack. Red Wine Wino opted for a mixed drink instead of a glass of Red Wine. Not sure what he was thinking but the "Limit Two" restriction for Shark Bite Drinks had him wondering if they were that strong.

Made with 151 Rum and other things, the Red Wine Wino mentioned it tasted good but did not feel a hint of a buzz that would warrant limiting customers to two,...White Wine Wino just thinks his tolerance for alcohol is the reason he did not feel anything.

Next time... skip the Shark Bite!

Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon

Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon is one we have not tried before. It has a tartness that we have not not experienced with other wines. But, the kicker is it remains smooth as you drink it. In other words, it does not make us pucker our lips like a lemon slice does. Interesting for us.... both Winos agree to purchase this one again!

Assessment: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Additional notes: Note the tartness that remains smooth to drink.
