Franzia - Chillable Red

Here is another red wine we picked up from Franzia.... It's their Chillable Red!  Not a bad wine for the price - 5 liters for $12.00.  Red Wine Wino easily rated this one as a Good!  White Wine Wino followed in kind. A little light on the alcohol content for a red wine (9.0% on the box). Regardless, do try it when you get a chance.

Grapes on the Vine?

Started a Grape Vine in the garden last year.  Looks like it made it through the heat last summer and may even make it again this year.  Too bad, the White Wine Wino chose to pick one way too early... oh well, gonna keep on watering it and hopefully it continues to grow!

Rockfish Seafood Grill - House Red

Had a hankering for seafood last night.  Ordered food and their House Red Wine.  Not bad, not bad,... too bad that we forgot the name of it.  Sounded something like "Twisted...."  Oh well, will have to remember it next time we dine in!

Peter Vella Vineyard's - Sangria

Here is another "wine in a box" from Peter Vella Vineyard's.  It is their Sangria.  Both Winos agreed to buy this one again.  Earns a "Good Rating"!  Right price, strong in spirit, and a great thirst quencher for the hot Summer!

Coyote Ugly Frozen Drinks (Las Vegas)

Here is a deal we liked from the New York, New York Casino in Las Vegas.  The Coyote Ugly Bar in the Casino has a walk-up bar that offers frozen drinks.  Buy the glass and get discounted refills when you bring the glass back.  What a way to beat the heat, just be careful as they are "high in octane"!

Smirnoff Tuscan Lemonade

Here is an offering by the vodka maker Smirnoff... it is a Limoncella inspired drink that they call a Tuscan Lemonade.  This one did not rate high with the Winos.  In keeping with our rating system, since both Winos agreed not to buy this one again, Smirnoff Tuscan Lemonade gets a "Bad Rating".  Others might like it, but in our case we are opting out on future purchases.

Paris Casino (Las Vegas) - House Merlot

Here is one we liked while playing the Slots at the Paris Casino Their House Merlot get a "Good Rating".  Only problem now is hitting the jackpot.  Did not quite make it this round,... till next time!
