While out and about several weeks ago stopped at an Irish Pub in Old Downtown Mckinney. It used to be a British Pub but for some reason, it closed and re-opened as an Irish Pub. While ordering our drinks, we did notice a vending machine called the Nightender, a rare 1971 Irish Whiskey Pub Vending Machine!
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.

Barefoot Pink Moscato and Yellowtail Pinot Noir
Here are two the Winos have had before - Barefoot Pink Moscato and Yellowtail Pinot Noir. Both maintained their Good Ratings! White Wine Wino still prefers Moscatos over Red Wines, and the Red Wine Wino still prefers Red Wines over White Wines but in this case both agree to continue purchasing Barefoot's Pink Moscato and Yellowtail's Pinot Noir!

Messina Hof Ebony Ports of Call and Lindeman's Gentleman's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
Here are two strong reds that the Winos liked - Messina Hof's Ebony Ports of Call and Lindeman's Gentleman's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Messina Hof Port maintained its Good Rating; Winos have had this one before and true to form they keep buying it again and again!
The Lindeman's Cabernet Sauvignon is a new one that was a pleasant surprise for the Winos. Smooth taste with no bitterness. This one easily gets a Good Rating!
PS: The Port has an alcohol content of 16%; the Cabernet comes in at 13.9%!

CK Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon and Arbor Mist Moscato
CK Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon and Arbor Mist Moscato this round. Winos are giving the Cabernet a Good Rating. Will plan to buy in the future. For the Arbor Mist Moscato, it gets a Neutral Rating. White Wine Wino was good with it. Red Wine Wino did not jump on the bandwagon. May have been the lower Alcohol Content though... No worries. having more of the Cabernet!

Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Here is one that comes from Chile. It's a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is dry but liked it taste. Both Winos give this one a Good Rating. Even better like the price for the "big" bottles!

Two Reds This Round - Solemar Merlot and Llano Sweet Red
Two red wines for the Winos this round. Red Wine Wino opted for something new - Solemar Merlot. White Wine Wino went with an old standby - Llano Sweet Red.
Solemar Merlot gets a Neutral Rating, Bought it as it was on sale for $4.99 not bad for an 8 year old wine. Maybe that's why it was on sale though. Somehow the Winos could not agree to get this one again.
Llano Sweet Red earns another Good Rating! Still tasty, still a deal at $7.99, still going to buy it int he future!
