Zinfandel Merlot

I didn’t like this as much as the Zinfandel because it was a bit stark or too much spice. Usually I think of Merlot as fruitier wine, but this one isn’t it. I will say that giving it time to breathe allows the flavors to blend.

Zinfandel Chardonnay

I like this cool chardonnay because it has a blend of fruit and buttery oak. The buttery flavor is mild and does not overtake the wine.

Barefoot wines were on sale for 4.99 so I bought one of each. We tried Zinfandel first and it had a good fruit flavor with some notes of cherry & raspberry.

Barefoot Zinfandel

Immense wine with inviting flavors of ripe cherry & wild raspberry. Aromas of vanilla and spice complement the lingering finish. Perfect with beef, red sauce, pastas, hearty soups and mild cheeses. Zinfully delicious.

Our First Meal Back Home

The moving van delivered all our belongings yesterday…yea! Tonight we had a wine that I bought at World Market. It was actually good for a cheap wine and great with an informal meal.

XS Red 2005

California Cabernet Sauvignon

Fruit forward robust red with blackberry and toasty oak. Delicious with your favorite pizza, pasta or BBQ. As the bottle says, “Sometimes a little XS is a good thing.”
