To all the wines we've loved before...
So many wines, so little time! I've absolutely fallen in love with wood and wine club. I enjoy our differences, (even though, they are so hard to depict) our jokes, our laughter, and most importantly our choice of wines! Never before did I scower the many isles of the wine shops with such intensity. "I have to pick something unique and delicious to impress the girls"-I say to myself while hovering, and yet each and every time, I come home even more impressed with my friends than ever before. Here's a quick overview to get you up to speed...
Red Diamond: Merlot
"Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties."

Barefoot: Merlot
"This wine offers big berry flavors that rewards with every sip. It has dark fruit notes of currant, raspberry and blackberry, and a velvety vanilla finish that leaves a lush and lasting impression."

Smoking Loon
"Believe it or not, a wine does not have to be expensive to be enjoyable. There are plenty of good wines that are below $10. In this economy, expensive wines are looked at as a luxury and it is. Smoking Loon is my pick for best quality under $10. Do not let the wine label design or the name fool you. All their wines are full of flavor, rich aromas, and pairs well with all foods or even enjoy a glass of each wine by itself."

Robert Mondavi: Woodbridge
"Mondavi's Woodbridge Moscato brightens the glass with delicate floral nuances and sweet citrus flavors. This is a light-bodied wine with a lean style and mild manners, offering honey, lemon and tangerine on the palate in a fairly sweet profile.
- A perfect wine for serving with various fruit-based pie, a fruit torte, peaches and cream, or simply a fruit salad."
Deep ruby black color. Aromas of chocolate, baked berries, and singed cedar follow through on a round, brisk entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with mocha, thyme and cherry coulis notes. Finishes with a soft, chewy tannin fade. A nice burger wine.
