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.

This bottle of Merlot I tried is from South Eastern Australia.  It's made by Black Swan.

It goes for about $7.00 and was pretty good.  There's really no good reason for why I chose this bottle other than it was cheap.

Doesn't really stand out too much in my mind, but it's not bad either.

Luna di Luna

The bottle of Luna di Luna I tried was a 2009 Merlot Cabernet from Italy.

It claims to be "a charming and alluring wine with a romantic yet daring spirit that adores intimate occasions".Cost about $9.99 a bottle.  The bottle is pretty cool looking but the wine taste like shit.

Maybe it was just a bit too sweet for my taste.

I drank the whole bottle anyway.  Would I buy it again?  For a dinner party? Yeah, sure.. What the hell?  Again, the bottle is pretty cool looking and it's under $10.

For myself? Probably not.
