Menage a Trois Red - Target

 

Menage a Trois Red 2007 - Target $10.49
California Red Wine

This blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cab is one of me and my crew's favorite value wines. The Zin gives it great color and a nice hint of spice. I like the fruitiness that the Merlot gives it. Deeeelicious!

Love it! A splurge wine at a budget price.

coming soon...

Menage a Trois White & Menage a Trois Red from Target. Looking forward to drinking them again!

J Pinot Noir - ABC Wines etc

Splurge Wine Extraordinaire!

This Pinot Noir is the bomb. It has a great full nose, without the flavor being overwhelming. We enjoyed this one with some semisoft cheeses and blandish crackers. This one is great on its own; doesn't need food.
I recalled that my old boss and super-cool guy Jay really liked this wine, and not just because his name was Jay too.
Picked up this beauty at ABC on sale (Wino Card means 10% off on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays).

Price = $31.99, $35 list

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!
