Mendoza red blend tops our wine picks of the week
This is a terrific deal for this wonderful blend from Mendoza in Argentina. It is 40% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Merlot. I found this wine to be loaded with plum and spice characteristics, and it leaves a beautiful texture in the mouth. It has a great finish and all this for a measly $12.99. Continue reading
Joel Gott Chardonnay and our “Top Picks of the Week”
When we visited France last fall we combed the wine shops and food market stores (Carrafour stores mostly) looking for wines under 10 Euros. We tried several French wines that price. By and large the best values we found were the wines from the Languedoc region of France. Continue reading

A wonderful find at Costco! We opened this at a picnic outing with three other Vintage Tasting club members present and we were thrilled with the taste of this wine. This is a layered fruity Merlot with layers of flavors and touch of leather. A nice finish and wine you can drink with our without food but always better with food. The Wine Advocate gives the wine 92 points, we will go with 89 points. At a $11.99 this is a gem of a find. Continue reading
Our Bargain Wine Picks – July 4, 2011
All are picks this week come from Costco so if you don’t shop at Costco you are out of luck on our choices unless you can find them at another wine shop. If you do I doubt if that store can match the Costco wine prices. Costco’s markup on these wines is ridiculously low. Continue reading

Kirkland Champagne – Who makes it and how good is it?

He sourced most of the grapes from other quality vineyards and it is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Munier. Continue reading
