Red Wines

Plum Kool-Aid.

With a shot of cheap vodka.

It tastes good. I can see whiling away an afternoon and a bottle at the same time or just having a glass with a hearty lunch. And I believe Jorge Ordonez is becoming my personal hero, as he selects some of the best cheap wines I know...

It's a pretty tasty wine, if a bit pricey. But as I didn't pay for the bottle, it made my enjoyment all the sweeter.

Use for a night of carousing. Your entourage will drink whatever you get them, and that bar wench you've been fancying will quaff without complaint. It's good, but nothing special.

To misquote Clara Peller (from those “Where’s the beef” commercials, “Where’s the wine?” I had always heard about people eagerly waiting the fall Beaujolais Nouveau. After drinking this one I’m not sure why. If you aren’t a devotee of something like this, perhaps you can spend your money elsewhere.
