Now pros might not enjoy it, but I must say for a social situation where you do not know if people even like wine it is perfect. Even people who don’t like wine will feel they fit in. It is sweet as sugar but gives an after taste of a wine. Nothing like going to a party and there is 4 bottles of MERLOT and your a white wine drinker. Whats the cheapest you have seen this wine and let me know what you think about!! Oh ya Join US.

Winery Notes: Garnet hued, this light bodied red derives its unique fruity flavor from the Noble grape. Slightly sweet for dinner, dessert, or just relaxing. ]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/muscadine/lakeridge-winery-vineyards-southern-red-nv/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chenin-blanc/robertson-winery-2005/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chenin-blanc/robertson-winery-2005/#comments Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:34:13 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chenin-blanc/robertson-winery-2005/

TASTING NOTES: An appealing light straw colour. Full-bodied palate with powerful varietal flavours of tropical fruit, ripe green fig and melon. This follows through with a mouth-watering thread of acidity to a crisp clean aftertaste.]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chenin-blanc/robertson-winery-2005/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/wine-news/that-damn-oak-leaf-vineyard/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/wine-news/that-damn-oak-leaf-vineyard/#comments Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:22:47 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/wine-news/that-damn-oak-leaf-vineyard/ Oak Leaf Vineyard and other good cheap wines

Since I first posted something about Oak Leaf Vineyard I have had hundreds of e-mails. I have even have had some of you ask me to sell you a case. I do not sell the wine. I am a Cheap Wine Critic. I look for all bottles under $12.00. I can give you lots of suggestions, all you have to do is ask. I will give a couple here for you to look at.

Mirassou Monterey County California Pinot Noir 2006: I have seen this wine in every state I have been to. You can not beat this Pinot Noir for the price. For under $12.00 you can say no!!

Faustino VII 2004: Here is another great one that I know a lot of people have not tried. First place I found it was Food Lion.

Alice White Lexia: A great wine you can find almost anywhere for under $6.00 dollars. It is sweet so generally for the beginners. You got friends you trying to get interested, then this wine is for them. Great to drink on a Hot summer day. I personally favor the Red Lexia. Give them a shot!!!]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/wine-news/that-damn-oak-leaf-vineyard/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/ironstone-xpression-rose-2007/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/ironstone-xpression-rose-2007/#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 04:41:46 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/ironstone-xpression-rose-2007/

Wine Taster Notes: Pretty, deep salmon color and stewed strawberry aroma; sweet berry flavors with good acidity and a pleasant finish. Good choice for those who like a touch of sweetness.]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/ironstone-xpression-rose-2007/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/danzante-pinot-grigio-delle-venazie-2006/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/danzante-pinot-grigio-delle-venazie-2006/#comments Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:45:10 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/danzante-pinot-grigio-delle-venazie-2006/

Tasting Notes: Danzante Pinot Grigio is a dry, white wine with golden reflections. The bouquet is intense with enticing fragrances of fresh citrus fruit and flowers. On the palate, its silky, well-balanced body is enhanced with hints of pineapple, grapefruit and spices that carry through to a crisp, dry finish. Enjoy it by itself as an apperitivo or with fish, seafood or poultry. ]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/danzante-pinot-grigio-delle-venazie-2006/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/cabernet-sauvignon/mcpherson-merlot-2000/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/cabernet-sauvignon/mcpherson-merlot-2000/#comments Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:11:05 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/cabernet-sauvignon/mcpherson-merlot-2000/

Wine Notes: This line of wines is imported by Brown-Forman, and shows well for the price class. Sweet black fruit, mocha and dill aromas and flavors are backed up by soft tannins, vanilla notes and a sweet finish.]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/cabernet-sauvignon/mcpherson-merlot-2000/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/syrahshiraz/syrah-rose-josefina-syrah-rose-2007/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/syrahshiraz/syrah-rose-josefina-syrah-rose-2007/#comments Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:00:49 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/syrahshiraz/syrah-rose-josefina-syrah-rose-2007/

Wine Makers Notes: This Rose has a very tangy nose. A lot of melon… a little apple…some blueberry. The first sip was unusual… very sour and a quite bitter with a charcoal aftertaste. I gave it another try later in the evening, but to no avail. Not a very good Rose.]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/syrahshiraz/syrah-rose-josefina-syrah-rose-2007/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/surf-point-pinot-grigio-2007/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/surf-point-pinot-grigio-2007/#comments Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:43:48 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/surf-point-pinot-grigio-2007/

Wine Makers Remarks: Full of fresh fruit flavors and hinted with floral and citrus spice, enjoy this food-friendly Pinot Grigio. This wine is exclusive to the Food Lion chain of grocery stores.]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/pinot-grigio/surf-point-pinot-grigio-2007/feed/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chardonnay/carmenet-chardonnay-2001/ http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chardonnay/carmenet-chardonnay-2001/#comments Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:54:23 +0000 Damion http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chardonnay/carmenet-chardonnay-2001/

Wine Makers Notes: Carmenet pulled off a nice, inexpensive wine here. Full aromas of grapefruit and gooseberries are followed by pure fruit flavors unburdened by layers of oak. Nice acidity ties it all together.]]> http://www.cheapwinecritics.com/varietal/chardonnay/carmenet-chardonnay-2001/feed/
