With aromas of ripe berries and blackberry, The Kendall Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon offers full flavors of red cherry and black currant with a mild oaky vanilla finish. We like this wine because it is big enough to pair with a fancy steak dinner, yet soft enough to enjoy …
We purchased the Luis Cañas Crianza 2010 Rioja for around $18 on the “advice” of a wine shop shelf sign. What a pleasant discovery! The aroma is filled with dark chocolate and plums followed by flavors of chocolate, dark berries, and a hint of tobacco. The mouth feel is velvety …
This deep blend has a grapey aroma that evolves into black currant and brown sugar as it opens. Gradually, the dark fruit flavors and strong tannins soften, revealing a velvety finish. We paired this Shotfire Barossa Blend with gourmet burgers. What a great wine for your next family BBQ! Be sure …
Recently, while spring cleaning, we unearthed 3 bottles (one each) of the 2006 vintage J. Lohr Cuvée series wines. They were still in the original shipping box. How we misplaced these bottles we will never know. Thankfully we did because, WOW, did this wine age gracefully. We decided to enjoy …

I saw this box of wine at a local store and was intrigued. I am not particularly a fan of boxed wine. I prefer to open a bottle of wine the old fashioned way – with a corkscrew. That being said – the price was about $20 for approximately 4 …
Very fruit forward and full of flavors of blackberry and grape. We used to drink this cab several years ago and remember it being a little bit better but it is still a pretty good wine for the money. The finish is long, strong, and a bit grapey. Cost: $9.99-12.99 …
Full of aromas and flavors of red berries. This wine has a brilliant texture and long lingering finish with hints of chocolate and spice. Very smooth with the perfect amount of tannins this is a Cabernet lovers dream wine. Verdict: Get it! The cost is prohibitive for most to be …
