Thomas Fogarty Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 at Costco
This is a very nice Cabernet at just under the $20 mark. Let this wine breathe or run it through an aerator. This youngster needs air to really open it up and enjoy. If you are a Napa Valley Cabernet drinker, you will find this wine to be far different. The terroir of the Santa Cruz Mountains really shows in this Cabernet. Continue reading

Zinfandel Wine at ZAP
This wine is surprisingly good for boxed wine. It holds the equivalent of four bottles of wine and that figures out to $5 per bottle. It is good for wine folks on a tight budget who who want to drink maybe a glass or two a day. The wine in the collapsing bag can last up to three weeks. The wine is sold at Whole Foods stores as well as BevMo. Continue reading
