Fantastic color as always! 2nd) Muted red fruit, pencil, cigarette (2 hours later) 1st) Lively and juicy red fruit. Pretty balanced, a little tannic...just enough to stand up to a wide range of food. Pairs exceptionally well to very-spicy Asian food. Nice smooth finish, lingering aftertaste. Glowy, creamy aftertaste. Put this wine on your budget Go-To List, for the price, it over-delivers!    (hide)

  Deaver Vineyards Orange Muscat NV

  Snoothrank:

  Sweet orange, honeysuckle and lavender nose. Fizzy on the tongue - good acidity and a spritz of CO2. Very sweet, with honey and floral notes. Could work with spicy asian foods, or on its own if you are partial to very sweet (yet not desert) wines.

  Domaine Lafage Cote Est 2008

  Snoothrank:

  Enjoyed this wine on a hot summer evening with some asian food. Nose: apricot, citrus Palate: citrus, sour apple, dry (reminds me a bit of german Riesling).

I have attended about half a dozen wine and food tasting events, and four or five wine and dinner pairings. Inevitably, the wines we like are the higher priced wines (even in blind tastings). At this point I am reluctant to spend money for a $10 to $15 per bottle wine since I almost expect to be dissapointed. On the red front: I used to love CA Cabarnet, but those have gotten way too expensive for the ones I find ready to drink soon after being available for purchase (for example: I love Silver Oak, but hate the price). Currently my favorite wine is Red Burgandy (the more earthy and herby types more than the fruit forward) (thus I have not yet found an Oregan or CA Pinot that I like as much as Burgandy) Chateauneuf du pape is a close second The right Merlot (CA and a few from Wash state) A few Spanish wines are nice for casual snacking with some cheese and olives The less expensive CA Cabs and the ones I have tried from Chile haven't thrilled me. Have only tried two Malbecs; not so hot for my wife and me Sryah was tried twice with Smoked Ribs; was ok for me (a bit rich), not so for my wife On the white front: Alsatian Reisling (especially with Asian Food) I found a white Chateauneuf I really like White Burgandy is up there Semilion Some not-too oaky CA Chards Some of the oaky CA Chards A creamy Bubbly A good Gewurt I like; not so my wife (too sweet) No go on Chablis Pinot Grig no for me; wife maybe Wife likes Sav Blanc; for me is it ok if not too grapefruity. Any ideas are most welcome (other than stop being a wine snob, which I don't think I am - since my search for the above wines that I like in the $15 range continues) Good wine, good food, good friends, good cheer    (hide)

  Las Colinas del Ebro Garnacha Blanca 2008

  Snoothrank:

  I like it, but I wouldn't say "it packs a punch." It is mild, with no aftertaste. Would be good with Asian food. Overall, good but not great. I bought it for $9.99 which is a good price.

  Vintage Ink Wine 2005

  Here's the truth: at $7.95/btl here in Vermont, this wine is a delight and a wonderful little gem and a steal. Very fruity, smooth and quite good.

Can be a "tad" sweet but there is a hint of spice, so the sweet fruit doesn't destroy the palate. Went well with Asian food (brown garlic sauce), but it drinks VERY well on its own. The finish is also surprisingly good for a wine in this price range. Go ahead, serve it to a cocktail crowd. Am stocking up on this one!    (hide)

  Banrock Station Riesling 2007

  Snoothrank:

  the perfect definition of a QPR. This wine can actually age which I find shocking in a white wine under $7. Lots of petrol right now. It went great with spicy asian food, but I'm gonna get a few and cellar them.

  Conumdrum California White Table Wine 2005

  Snoothrank:

  THIS IS A GREAT WINE WITH BEAUTIFUL NOSE AND A LONG MEDIUM SWEET LINGERING FINISH. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A WINE TO PAIR WITH SPICY OR ASIAN FOOD, GIVE THIS WINE A TRY.
