Best red yet?

We were at the Safety Harbor Bar & Grill  (friendliest restaurant EVER) and our waitress told me they had a new wine I'd like.  This is the same place were another waitress suggested I try moscato, so  I know better than to turn down their suggestions!

Barefoot has a new wine out, called Sweet Red that is in the running for best red ever in my opinion.  That means that if you're a big fan of red wine this probably won't be your favorite, but you should still give it a try.  In spite of the name I don't think it's too sweet.  It reminded me of blueberry wine although Barefoot says it's "ripe and juicy wine with delicious flavors of raspberry, pomegranate & luscious cherry".

So far I haven't been able to find this anywhere to purchase a bottle, but the store up the street said they would order it for me, then you can find out what the rest of the clan here thinks of it.

Wild Berry Fusion Wine

We tried this wine last night- it was wonderful! As is obvious when you see the berries on the bottle I picked it. This wine is from a local winery, Keel and Curley. They only make about 10 wines, all of them look wonderful. I'm thinking this winery is deserving of a visit!

This wine was really interesting. Per the label it's "strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries blended into the delicately balanced body of a lush plum driven Piniot Noir". I would swear you could smell every one of those scents in this wine. But that's not what made it so interesting. Our version of wine tasting is a full glass, not a sip. Wild Berry fusion wine started off tasting of blueberries, but about halfway through the glass it started tasting more of strawberry. How cool is that?

You can definitely expect to hear more about Keel and Curley wines here!

Paisano!

You can tell which of the two of us picked a wine right away. If it's a red wine then my dad picked it- the only red wine I know I like is Sangria. If it's a fruity wine then it's a safe bet that I picked it - hence the Sangria.

In spite of that I did like this wine. Not so much that I would go out and buy it myself to have with dinner, but enough that I'm convinced we'll have to try another paisano or two. Maybe we need a Paisano night.

Any suggestions on what ones to try?

Last night we (friends and family) tasted a new (to us) wine, Carlo Rossi Paisano. It`s a red table wine, and everybody seemed to like it, me included. Taste On!!
