I don’t remember why this red blend wine wound up in the cart but it was purchased at San Diego Wine Company for $9.95. I did ask an employee for recommendations but we wound up with so many different bottles it was hard for me to keep track. I did manage to walk out with [...]

Ihadn’t heard of Goose Ridge before, but knew that Washington has been cranking out some great wines. Goose Ridge is a family owned and operated winery in Washington’s Columbia Valley. This area of Washington is actually sun drenched and receives less than 8″ of rain a year! The Monson family has farmed in this valley [...]

Winemakers notes:
“A blend of 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% [...]

This wine was an impulse buy at Bevmo. It had it’s own corner display and a tag about how it’s sustainably farmed. Great! I’ll take it. Wilfred Wong gave it a rating of 88. It’s on sale now for $8.99 at Bevmo but I think I paid a little bit more than that.
Parducci is a [...]

This can be found at Trader Joes for $5.99!
I was skeptical, but since it is organic, I bought it. The price made me nervous. La Jolla Dad and I drank it and both thought it was surprisingly good, for the price. Smooth without that sort of violent acidic thing that a lot of cheap wines have. [...]
