Hi I am Ryan. I am into quality red wine that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Currently I am drinking a lot of zins, South American reds and Spanish reds. I will however splurge every once in a while for a nice Napa Cab.

The only thing info that I could find for the Vassani brand was that they make keg coolers. But $150 for a 52 bottle cooler would be a great deal if the cooler was decent.

What varietals do you like? $3-$6 doesn't leave a lot of options but if you talk with your local wine store management you may be able to get a decent volume discount.
Fruit forward but nothing else going on.
This wine has a great fruit forward style and lots of zest if anything it is a little hot.
Old world style that isn't overly fruity. Very smooth with some notes of smoked meats.
Very earthy, with green pepper strong on the pallate. Interesting wine.
I would also throw whole berry fermentation vs crushed and natural yeast vs introduced yeast into the fermentation discussion.
