Sutter Home White Merlot

Sutter Home Family Vineyards of Napa Valley, California offers a nice White Merlot.  It is a Red Wine; however, the other "Wino" on the team - who prefers White Wines, likes this one... because "it's like a White Wine".  Go figure the reasoning.  That said, it has a sweetness that some may like.  Moreover, both of us agree that we would buy it again.  Rating: "Good"!

Coffee Break... for now!

We have more reviews to post.  Just taking a coffee break!    For now, checkout our partner Squidoo Lens - "Black Coffee Review".  We have a while to go to document the different wines we have "tasted" over the years.  Eventually, we hope to catch up to our recent purchases!

Barefoot Chardonnay

Another White Wine from Barefoot that was a toss up between the two "Winos"!  This time the Red Wine lover could not decide....  Oh well, sticking to our rating system of "Good" - we would buy it again, "Neutral" - we could not agree to buy it again, and "Bad" - we would not buy it again, this Chardonnay rated "Neutral".

Barefoot Pinot Grigio

A White Wine from Barefoot that did not meet expectations.  Gave it a rating of "Neutral" because we argued over buying it again.  The one who prefers White Wines did not like it; the other one who prefers Red Wines was okay with it.

Barefoot Riesling

Here is a White Wine from Barefoot that is sweet (and slightly dry) that we agreed to buy again.  Gave it a "Good" rating knowing that future purchases are forthcoming.

Barefoot Pinot Noir

Another offering from Barefoot Winery.  We liked this one as well and easily concluded a "Good" rating for the Pinot Noir!  We have bought this one twice but would not hesitate to buy more.  Just gotta get the "other person" to quit buying Shiraz!

Oakleaf Shiraz

We found this one at a local grocery store selling for $3 and bought it on a whim. We hoped it was as good as the "Two Buck Chuck Wines" offered by Trader Joes when we lived in Monterey!  It wasn't.  However, since one of us caved in and would buy it again - because of its $3 price, we had to give it a "Neutral" rating.
