Washington State Red WAWA 4 Red Table Wine, 2005. 2 stars/$5.00

Marked down from $10 for mislabeling? The back sticker overlaps the front. It was worth the sale price, but nothing super special. Medium bodied, not too sweet, assault on senses gauged, consistent.

Folie a Deux Menage A Trios Red Table Wine 2005, California. 1 star/$?


Who added the sugar? The label is catchy, but it tastes like poop. Sweet and cloying poop.

Covey Run Cabernet Sauvignon ?2005, Washington. 2 stars/$7.99

Columbia valley. Smooth, medium bodied, well balanced, just didn't really stand out. Totally drinkable and worth buying again.

J.W. Morris Cabernet Sauvignon 2003, California. 2.5 stars/$2.99

The taste is kind of like the picture. You can tell what it is, though it isn't something you focus on. Great value for $2.99 though. Not syrupy.

Butterfield Station 2005 Shiraz, California. $5.99/1 star.

The fake oak flavor must be to cover up the poor grape quality.

Epicuro Beneventano Aglianico Red, Italy. $5.99/2 stars

Thin-medium bodied, tannic, sour, strawberry. Still hits the spot after a day of skiing. Worth the $6. Supposedly a regional highlight if you believe what they tell you at Trader Joe's.

Marques de Caceres Crianza Roja 2003, Spain. $?/2-3 stars

Everyone seems to like this wine. Medium-bodied, a touch spicy, nothing that stands out too much.

Renwood Zinfandel 2003, California. $8.99/3 stars


This is so easy to drink: pleasant/robust/well balanced/not too sweet/nice finish. Wish I'd bought two bottles.
