J.Lohr Los Osos 2008 Paso Robles Merlot

This merlot is very appealing to the senses.  The color is dark ruby and has a wonderful fruity flavor.  It is really easy to enjoy this smooth, medium bodied wine.  We paired this merlot with a hearty steak and potatoe dinner.  Delicious!


Mario Ercolino Sicilia 2009 Saserello

Its Italian!!!!! This wine is a combination of four different types of grapes (merlot, cabernet, syrah, and sangiovese-a red, Italian grape variety). To say this wine is complex is an understatement. It is very smooth and the mixed flavors of berry and a subtle hint of sweet cherry certainly bring it a unique taste. This bottle was only $11.99. An excellent deal for this special wine.


CooperPoint 2009 Family Reserve Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands

Chardonnay being a wonderful tasting, versatile drink can go with many different types of dishes. I especially enjoy this chardonnay with curry dishes. CooperPoint 2009 Chardonnay has a melon taste and you can definitely sense a slight hint of oak. In the mid range of pricing, $15.99 but you really can enjoy this with many different types of meals ranging from pork, seafood and curry dishes. I definitely gave this California wine two thumbs up.  :0)


Bogle 2009 Petite Sirah

This California Wine is a mouthful. Better to share the Winemakers Notes on this one~! Voluptuous and full-bodied on the entry, the heady aromas of black currants and plums awaken the senses. Lusciously jammy and inky in appearance, the concentrated fruit wraps itself around tones of pipe tobacco, leather and cocoa, to mesmerize the palate. Juniper and spice seduce the supple tannins, as this wine finishes long and lingering, but not before a final touch of acidity charms the balanced mouthfeel yet again.

Makes you want to have a taste? Very reasonably priced too!


Torre Ercilla 2006 Rioja Reserva

We have tasted so many delicious wines from Spain, this one included.  The Torre Ercilla 2006 has a deep, rich flavor with a ruby red color.  The acidity is very low and I love the blackberry taste and smell.  Matching this up with steak would be perfect.  I would also enjoy this with some heavier appetizers.
