Beringer Moscato

Kevin's Take: I love this wine! It's a sweet wine and it goes down like cool aid. My only wish is that it lingered in my mouth a bit longer. I give it five stars.
Kirsten's Take:
This was a littl etoo sweet for me. Kevin requested a moscato and I had never had one before. It totally tasted like now-n-laters and I couldn't have a second glass. not a fan 2 stars.

Yellow Tail Shiraz

Kevin's Take:I enjoyed this red wine. I give is 4 stars.

Kirsten's
Take: This was a great affordable Shiraz. It went well with pasta for dinner and I would definitely buy it again 4 stars for me too.

Stone Cliff Riesling


Kevin's Take: We had this wine a few weeks ago and I can't remember if I liked it. So This one was definitely forgettable. I give it three stars.

Kirsten's Take: I liked it ok. It was definately forgetable but a good crisp riesling. Pleasant to drink and I didn't mind finishing the bottle. 3 stars

Ecco Domani Chianti

Kevin's Take: This Chianti surprised me. It has some punch to the mouth and I quite enjoyed it with some pizza. This wine has a peppery finish but it was very well balanced. I like this one and would love to try it again with pasta.

Kirsten's Take: This is a great Chianti (although I haven't had very many of them). It has a great dark fruity smell and a strong flavor that is not very fruity but also not bitter at all and not dry on your tongue. It was great with the veggie pizza we ate for dinner. I will definitely want to have this wine again.

St. James Winery Velvet White

Kevin's Take: I enjoyed this wine. It was sweet. This wine was very light on the palate. You need to try this one if you like sweet wines.

Kirsten's Take: This one I've had several times before and picked it because I knew Kevin would like it. It has a great fruity concord grape smell and a clean taste that lingers. It is a great sweet wine it is very light and not overpowering. A great wine with dessert or for dessert. Love it

Fetzer Chardonnay

Kevin's Take: This wine has some faint Rubber Ducky smell. I tasted a little green apple. It is a light tasting wine. 3 Stars.


Kirsten's Take: I like this wine even though it was uneventful. It is hard to characterize much about it. That is, I guess, good and bad. It isn't an overpowering flavor or smell it has a nice tart taste to it and a very clean taste. I'm sure it would be great with appetizers or a light meal. It isn't a flavor that stays long in your mouth but it is pleasant. 4 stars

Red Lexia


Kevin's Take: I love this wine. I could drink this wine every night. It is fruity and sweet but not overpowering. Fantastic! Definitely 5 stars.


Kirsten's Take: I knew Kevin would like this wine. It is fruity and sweet. It does have a nice fruity smell very much like skittles and it has a clean finish. It is tingly in your mouth no alcohol burn really smooth, overall a great dessert wine, easy to drink.
