Ste Genevieve - Sweet Moscato

Apparently the White Wine Wino likes Moscatos, so here is an offering from Ste Genevieve Winery that we tried recently.  Both Winos agreed to rate it as "Good"!  Given a choice between Ste Genevieve's Sweet Moscato and Barefoot Winery's Moscato, would go with Barefoot because of its sweeter taste!

Bandit Cabernet Sauvignon

Bandit Winery from California offering "wine in box"!  Bought this on a whim because it advertised "96% Wine, 4% Packaging".  The two Wino's rated this one as "Good" as they agreed to buy more in the future!

Snapping Turtle Chardonnay

California Winery Snapping Turtle offers a Chardonnay that has the two Winos at odds.  White Wino says "won't buy it again".  Red Wino says "it's okay".  Wine gets a "Neutral" rating.

Ruffino Chianti

Here is another Italian Red Wine that the two Winos enjoyed!  Rated "Good" discounting the Red Wino's bias toward Chiantis, the White Wino agreed to buy this one again!

Fish Eye Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio from the Fish Eye Winery of Livermore, California.  Have a slight disagreement on this one.... White Wine Wino says, "Don't buy it"!  Red Wine Wino had no issues with it.  Rating this one as "Neutral" since we cannot agree to buy it again or not.

Carlo Rossi Paisano

A Red Wine that was tough to enjoy, even by two hardened Winos.  Sold in the big bottles, we bought this one way back when the funds were low.  Reinforced our "rule of thumb" to not buy wines in the big bottles unless we really, really, really like the wine.  Both agreed to not buy this one again.... unless the funds get really low, NOT!  Rating: "Bad".

Bell' Aagio Chianti

A Chianti offered by Bell' Agio that we really liked.  Compliments the favorite Italian meal of our Red Wine Wino:  Linguine with Mussells sauteed in a spicy red sauce with Chicken Wings and Bread on the side.  Got hooked on this meal when stationed overseas in Gaeta, Italy.  Chianti gets a "Good" rating.
