An excellent inexpensive blend

Last Saturday, I tasted one of the best blends, Apothic Red 2009 Winemaker's Blend from California, I've had in a long time. Made of Syrah, Zinfandel and Merlot, it sells for $9.99 at Kroger here in Dallas. It is a great value!

Summer Beer

I tasted my new summer beer about three weeks ago. It is Shiner's new seasonal, Ruby Redbird, with ruby red grapefruit and ginger. It is perfect for summer with a Texas twist!

Great cheap Pinot Noir

I went to Buzzbrews here in Dallas forn the first time Wednesday night for dinner-interesting place. The star, however, was the 09 Cycles Gladiator California Pinot Noir. It is from the same winery group as my previous favorite, Hahn Estates.

Sold for $23 at the restaurant-a good price, I was able to find it the next day at Goody Goody for $10.95! Now that's my kind of price point for a very good Pinot Noir! Enjoy!
