This is a Merlot from the Robert Mondavi Private selection. It is very common wine that can be found just about anywhere. We picked this up on short notice and had it with sausage and peppers. |

- Hints of toasted oak and red berries in the aroma.
- Sweet off the start
- Fruity with berry flavors.
- Slightly tart with moderately high tannins.
- Mild strawberry finish.
- Simple but decent. Kind of reminiscent of watching reruns of Friends. You enjoy it but it does not excite you and you wish something else was on.

This wine is a Gamay Noir from the Beaujolais region in east central France. Beaujolais is a sub-region of the larger Burgandy region in France, and is known for producing fruit forward and light wines. Nearly all of the wine produced in the Beaujolais region is of the Gamay grape variety. This wine is very common in the US and can be found at almost any store. |
| $8 from Trader Joes. |
|
- Strawberry bouquet.
- Light and dry with moderate tannins.
- Easy to drink with a very short finish.
- Not complex, simple.
- This wine is like that song you hear and enjoy right away. After a while though it gets a little boring, because it’s not layered with intricacies that take multiple listens to hear. It still is nice to play once in a while though because it does have a good rhythm.

| $17 Purchased at Trader Joe’s |

- Intense, rich and fruity bouquet.
- Dry and tart.
- A wine meant to be enjoyed with a meal.
- Decanting is strongly recommended; but if no decanter is available then you should allow the wine to breathe for an hour before drinking it.
- A wine like this is like an independent and strong woman… she knows what she wants and is going to tell you whether you want her to or not. She is outgoing and somewhat abrasive but you will always know what she means. She does not beat around the bush.

A Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County California. |
| $10 Purchased at Trader Joe’s |
|
- A smooth wine with medium tannins.
- Slightly smokey.
- Fruit flavors of berries and peaches.
- Smooth and drinkable.
- Good wine for the price.
- Nothing overly exciting here but you do get a better product than the price projects and that is the main reason for the three trophies. Sorta like going to a Baseball game and seeing extra innings…a little extra baseball for your buck that you did not expect…but not as thrilling as hockey or football.

This wine is a Tempranillo from the Rioja Region of Spain. The Rioja region is in Northern Spain and known for producing outstanding grapes. The region was granted Denomination of origin status in 1926 and in 1991 became a qualified denomination of origin. This is important because it means that it is a protected region and only wine made from grapes produced here can be called rioja wines. |

- Very dry wine.
- A lot of tannins (decanting is recommended).
- Spicy and robust.
- This is a wine that is better enjoyed with a meal than on it’s own.
- This is definitely a wine that needs to be accompanied by a meal. It is like going to a football game by yourself…it is enjoyable to do, but much more fun with company.
