Psydr Short & To-The-Point Wine Reviews
Below are reviews of fun little finds purchased locally. The typical cost per bottle is $10 or less, and the label probably has a little more pizazz than your traditional Barolo. But don't judge the bottle by the label. These reviews are personal and certainly non-professional evaluations of wines we've tried. Enjoy!

Mmm...spicey. Was my first thought. Just enough dry, just enough sweet. Oddly, while I was tasting it, a word that came to mind was "purple". I then noticed the name on the bottle.
This is my favorite in quite a while. I've gotta get back to it before Erica drinks it all!

I found this wine to be very smooth. Complimenting my Superbowl chips, guacamole, and cheese dip quite nicely. It wasn't quite perfect. There was a charge of sweetness that put it slightly over the edge for me. Given its $3 cost, I'd say it was well, well worth it.

This Purple Moon syrah is smooth and delicious. My first sip was not as sour as with some other wines i've tasted. In fact, it was quite sweet (but not overwhelmingly sweet). In addition to a ripe cherry flavor, it also hinted at a spicy oak and earthy
flavor.
This purple potion is the Angelie Jolie of all wines. Yes, it is THAT good. it has a sexy, very appealing label. In addition to its beautiful purple exterior, it has substance and complexity, with a multicultural blend of spicy and sweet goodness.
