2007 Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon – USA, California, Napa Valley (9/6/2010) A delightful crowd pleasing lively dry red wine at a great price. This sells out every weekend where I work, so I just had to buy it and try it. I am glad I did. It can make a great go-to house wine. Now I understand why it�...

N.V. David Stone Cabernet Sauvignon – USA, California (7/15/2010) This wine is what I call a “Cocktail Cab”. It is so light and fruit forward that you can drink this as a cocktail wine with no food. It’s definitely not your classic rich full bodied oaky California Cabernet Sauvignon. Howeve...

2007 Pfneiszl Kékfrankos Újra Együtt – Hungary, Sopron (2/9/2010) The name of this wine, “Újra Együtt”, means “together again” in English. This wine is a crisp dry light bodied earthy red wine with soft tannins that really blooms with pepper spice as it opens up.   The grape variet...

2007 Toasted Head Untamed Red – USA, California (1/17/2010) A great every day dry red wine blend of Syrah, Zinfandel and Merlot that is a pretty full bodied red for the under $10 price I paid. This wine is also an excellent red wine to use if you make your own mulled wine. I recommended this part...
