Woo-hoo! Another cheap red. I think I enjoy the typical table wines because I don't feel I need a special occasion to open. I don't even feel a need to finish it off. It only costs around $10. I bought this thinking it was from the same vineyard as the Laurel Glen 2003 "Reds" Lodi Red Wine that Rob had reviewed awhile back. I think I enjoy this a little more. The website says this about the wine:
"Carignane, Syrah, a splash of sweet Symphony and a dash of love are the main components of this wine, which was produced to honor and surprise our father, Don Phillips, on his 75th birthday. This is an atypical blend of red and white wines, with lovely fruity characteristics of Symphony added in order to please Don's amiable palate. This is an easy-drinking, everyday, great quality, red table wine. Or, in the words of Wine Today.com, the three stars Lodi Red is 'a great quaff at a bargain price.' "

Shawn and I were discussing Lodi so I looked it up. It's a town of about 60,000 about 6 miles north of Stockton, CA. Read about the winemakers below:

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