SeaGlass SB, Sweetbay Supermarket



SeaGlass Sauvignon Blanc
Santa Barbara County
price = $13

This was a tasty treat. Tastes as if it has been exposed to a little bit of oak, since it has a certain roundness in the mouthfeel. Nice citrus flavors, good tartness, but not as tart as a NZ SB.

Definitely worth the price.

Vina DeCana 2004 -Aldi


90% Tempranillo + 10% Cab
Price = $5.99/bottle


A little thin, but full of flavor. Great spicy taste will do well with spicy foods such as Spanish dishes, Italian, or seasoned red meat. Do allow a good 30 minutes+ for this wine to breathe and open up before you drink.

Bottle topper says "Silver Medal - best in class, international wine & spirit competition 2008".

What it is

Wine rated by me and my friends. Good wine doesn't have to be expensive, but frequently it is. Yes, I do shop at ABC and Target and even Aldi for wine. I created this blog to share my feelings and feedback about various wines that I have stumbled across and to provide a spot where we can all throw in our two cents about wines we have tried and loved (or not!). I will take pictures of the bottles whenever possible to aid you in id'ing the wines yourself. 

** please feel free to comment on posts/wines, as I am interested in hearing about the tastes of others and other possible outlets to find great value wines. 

Enjoy!
