This is a Cabernet Merlot blend from Italy with 53% Cabernet and 47% Merlot. |
| $8 Purchased from Bashas. |

- Notes of blackberries in the bouquet.
- Smooth and mild tasting but also a very flat.
- A medium finish with hints of spice and mild tannins.
- This is the Budweiser, or Molson of wine. It has been mass produced and marketed so as not to offend anyones taste… kinda like listening to the latest boy band… You know who they are and what they sing but once you hear one of their songs you wonder why you did not change the station.

This is a blend of Cabernet and Merlot from the Black Opal wineries of South Eastern Australia. We remember enjoying the 2004 version of this wine. We also tried the 2005 and did not like it nearly as much as the 2004. Sadly it seems the 2006 is also disappointing. |
| $9 Purchased at Target |

- Very subtle bouquet of strawberries.
- Slightly acidic in both start and finish with high tannins, decanting is highly recommended.
- Citrus and plumb flavors (with the citrus being the dominant flavor)
- Smooths out a bit after some time in the decanter.
- This is definitely a wine to have with a meal, we would not recommend having it on it’s own. It may earn another half trophy or two if enjoyed with a juicy burger or steak. So essentially, this wine is like a steak sauce… it’s pretty much only enjoyable if you have it with steak.

This wine is a blend of unknown grapes from California. |
| $6 Purchased at Whole Foods |
|
- Sweet bouquet.
- Acidic with hints of grapefruit and cranberries.
- Not very complex, and the flavors seem to be mumbled together quite a bit.
- Jammy and a little hard.
- This wine tastes even sweeter with food.
- This is like the non-conformist girl that does not wear make-up or take regular showers….she screams that she is independent and goes against the grain. She is proud of the fact that it only cost her a couple of bucks to get dressed each day and she ain’t changing for nobody. Our advice is to walk right by her cause she will get on your nerves.

A California Blend of Sangiovese. Carignane, and Charbono. This wine gets it’s name from the fact that the vinyard it comes from is right next to the Soledad State Prison in California….hence…The Big House |

- This would be good as a starter wine and would go with lots of foods.
- Simple, easy to drink.
- Starts out strong but the finish disappears quickly.
- Tastes good but not much too it, not complex.
- Easy to have with pretty much anything.
- The wine for the non-wine drinker.
- She is a girl that does not have too much depth to her. She can get boring in a hurry. This is not to say she is bad; just don’t take out to a five star dinner. She would be fine with a pizza.

This wine is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from the Navarra region of Spain. |
| $12 |

- Very simple, easy drinking wine.
- Not a lot of depth.
- Robust but not very complex flavors.
- This wine is like a girl you met at a bar, had some drinks with but didn’t want her phone number. She’s good to hang out with, but you don’t want to commit.
