Entwine

Entwine is apparently made at some winery that has some ties to the Food Network.  This bottle of Merlot is made in California.

At about $12.00 a bottle, it's not a bad choice at all. Bonus points to this wine because they give you wine - food pairing recommendations on the back of every bottle and online.

One of my favorites.

Twisted

So obviously, this is a bigger bottle of wine (1.5L). I had to buy it because of the name, Twisted.  Another Merlot on my list, also from California.

This bottle goes for about $13.00.  It was a good choice. It wasn't bitter or weird tasting at all.

Purple Moon

A family friend brought over this bottle called Purple Moon.  The bottle says it's a Shiraz from California.

From my research, this bottle is a Trader Joe's exclusive and there is no actual Purple Moon winery.    It also looks like it cost about $4.00.

Gave me a decent buzz so I guess I'm not complaining.

Our Daily Red

Our Daily Red.  Perfect for a Sunday.  I chose this wine cause the name was obviously a play off "Our Daily Bread", which seems somewhat sacrilegious which is perfect for me because I don't really believe in God or the church, or much of anything for that matter.  I wouldn't consider myself an atheist.  I just don't give a shit, simply put.

Our Daily Red is  2010 California Table Wine that claims to be organic. I've never heard of organic, vegan friendly wine, but if happen to care about that stuff, this is the wine for you.

It cost $5.99 a bottle and doesn't taste that bad.  More importantly, I caught a very nice buzz after the second glass.

Would I buy it again?  Only on Sundays.

Mad Housewife

Mad Housewife.  The name alone is why I bought the wine to begin with.  This particular bottle is a Cabernet Sauvignon from California.

At only $7.99 a bottle, this one by far is my favorite.  Though I can't prove it, I kinda feel like Mad Housewife is a rip off of Angry Girlfriend. I sound a little full of myself, don't I?  It's because I am.

Which came first? The blog or the wine?  The world may never know.

Taste good (finished the whole bottle in one night) and the name is awesome.

Would I buy it again?  Fuck yes!

Monogamy

The bottle of Monogamy I had was a 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California.

Cute label and it tastes pretty good.  How girly and lame of me to like a wine because of the label, but I can't help it.

Not too pricey either.  This particular bottle cost about $11.99.

Would I buy it again?  Hell yeah.
