Cousino-Macul 2006

This is a Chilean wine and we liked it so much that we had to post a review even though it is a few bucks over ten dollars.  This is another oaky wine with blueberry aroma and so of course we love it.  We had this with a good old fashioned plate of cheese and crackers and it was fantastic.  This is a wine we like to just have on hand as well as to stock up on when we have company.  

Costco - $12.99 

Koonuga Hill 2006

This is a great wine!  For the price it is our hands down favorite and the perfect go-to wine.  It is rich, oaky and vibrant with blackberry aroma and a beautiful purple color.  You can't miss with this wine.    I love this wine with a nice steak fresh off the grill.

Costco - $7.39

Tin Roof 2005

Chocolate, black cherry, plum and spice....  Mmmmmm.....  I really enjoyed this wine.  It goes great with cheese, especially sharp cheese.  I would also drink this with steak or red sauce pasta.

Big House Red


Big House Red is a 2005 California red wine.  This is a great everyday wine. Nothing fancy.  We both loved it and wished we had bought another bottle instead of a wine that will not make this blog.  

This wine was fruity with black pepper and went great with sweet Italian sausage and cheddar cheese.

We plan to drink this wine again as it tastes like it would go with all of our favorite foods.

ABC Wine - $9.99
