Glad you liked the Adobe Red! I'm not the winemaker, I'm the PR guy, but I'll pass along your comments to winemaker David Frick. Look around for the Adobe White, as well: a kitchen sink blend based on Viognier and Chenin Blanc; great for warm summer days.

This was Super Tasty! I really enjoyed it, to the extent that I didn't want to share.

I think I saw hard cider at the Western on Rocky Ridge. I suggest calling before venturing out.

My brother and sister-in-law, who aren't cheap, but don't mind cheap stuff, said the Walmart wine wasn't bad. They've stocked up at least twice since then

Also, I noticed recently that Rite-Aid had a bunch of $3 bottles of wine near the checkout. Anybody tried those?

We had this last week at the Elmer's house. Very good. Was told that it's on the menu at Chez Fonfon.

I saw this at Wester Mtn. Brook for $19.99 and snatched it right up. I would love to be able to compare it to the one we had originally but this 2004 vintage was very good. I was very happy with it again.

We drank this wine just before we opened the bottle of Cave Des Papes Côtes du Rhône Héritage which has been blogged recently. The Qupe was very good but the Côtes du Rhône was a little smoother.

Last night we opened the 2005 Hecula Monastrell. While more expensive than this sister wine it seemed slightly bitter. We need to do a side by side tasting!

Just drank this again - it is still very good.

I had a glass of this at a party recently, and it really was tasty. I concur, and just may pick up a few bottles myself.

2007-08-02T22:23:00.000-05:00

I saw this at Western Mtn.Brook and the label seemed familiar so I bought it for less than $10. Of course I saw it, it was on our blog. I took it to a family get together and was excellent. Very smooth and easy to drink. It will become a regular in the Wright "got to drink after work" workout.

We had a different bottle the other night ... I have to say it looks a bit, uh, silly in the glass. But Blanc de Noir champagne doesn't. The jury's still out.

Well, we polished it off on 6/25. Good combination of plum fruit and peppery spice. Bottle does not show a year. Still good - 2 stars.

Purchased a bottle recently so we'll see if it's still good. $9.99 at V Richard's in Forest Park.
