This is a Tempranillo from Spain that we picked up at Total Wine and had it with homemade tortilla soup with fresh avocado and tortilla strips. |
| $8 from Total Wine |

- Smells like bubble gum initially with dark berries in the middle followed my mint at the finish.
- Taste is very tart.
- One dimensional plumb flavors. Improved greatly with decanting.
- This wine is easy to drink and does not offend… Sort of like a macro-brewed beer… it feels mass produced to appeal to a wide variety of tastes.

This is a Cabernet from the Columbia Valley in Washington. We really enjoyed the Merlot from the same winery so we were really looking forward to trying this wine when we spotted it on the shelf. |
| $12 from Total Wine |

- Aromas of earth and deep dark berries
- Soft and smooth in the mouth
- Strong tannins in the finish giving it a tart cranberry taste
- Interesting yet unrefined. Like a sports car that is a little too loud both in engine sound and color…it may put some people off yet who knows…in a few years it has the potential of being a classic…

This wine is a Pinot from California. Cellar No 8 makes a fantastic Cabernet for the price and when we saw this similarily priced Pinot from the same maker we couldn’t pass it up. |
| $8 from Total Wine |

- Aromas of earth and moss with wood undertones
- Earthy taste, with toasted oak.
- Very similar to the Cabernet which was unexpected for a Pinot.
- Non-typical Pinot, but very enjoyable.
- Not your typical Pinot, but typical of Cellar No 8 wines. Rustic, hard and very masculine – like a Pinot on steroids. It has the feeling of a female body builder, you know she is a women but muscles are way bigger than yours!
