Quality Cheap Wine or Just Cheap Wine?
January 7, 2009 | 2 Comments
If you are like me and found that wine was your poison, then you might have noticed it is not like buying a 12 pack of Bud Light. You got pay a price for a bottle that you will have to finish. In general your wine will spoil if left it out over night after opening. I have tried the tricks like pressurizing the bottle, refrigerate down to just above freezing, and I found they don’t work well. Look for the CHEAP WINES!!! The guy or gal who has a closet full of $40 to $70 dollar bottles feels great about his or her collection!! Yet odds are if they did not educate themselves on the life span of certain grapes, they might have a bunch of drain cleaner waiting to be emptied into the belly of the earth. If you have tried these ones I am about to list below then let me know. OH YA!! Don’t forget to register!! It is free!!
Oak Leaf Vineyard Pinot Grigio Chardonnay —– at $2.97 a bottle!! Just dump it if you hate it!!
Alice White Red Lexia — This makes a great Social Wine. At 4.00 to 6.00 bucks a bottle.
ROOT:1 Cabernet Sauvignon —-Now this is A decent Cabernet Sauvignon that I first found at World Market, then I found it again at Publix(A grocery Store Chain) Runs about $8.00 to $11.00 a bottle. WORTH IT!!

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.

Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices were added to this Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Designed as a mulled wine, it is meant to be served warm during winter by the fireplace, or after a cold day outdoors.
When served chilled in the summer months, it makes an agreeable substitute for Sangria.
The art of adding spices, or “mulling” wine is a centuries-old tradition. In the cold winters of northern Europe, wine would often be served warm during the holiday season. The English brought this custom to Virginia in the 16th century.

3 Blind Moose Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Wine Makers Comments: The grapes were sourced primarily from vineyards in the Central Coast and Lodi growing regions, both excellent sources of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The mild summer weather and relatively light crop in these areas resulted in an excellent concentration of color, aroma and flavor. The fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness when the flavors were vibrant, the tannins were supple, and the hills were alive with the sound of moosic. WINEMAKING The night-harvested grapes were crushed to stainless steel fermenters and inoculated with a cultured yeast (one that regularly reads the New Yorker). The juice fermented for a week at 70-800 F. and was pumped over the grape skins several times daily to maximize the extraction of color, flavor and tannin. The influence of French and American oak enhanced the wine’s texture and complexity, as did blending in small amounts of Syrah and Zinfandel.
