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!

A very decent wine. Smooth, good flavor. No real bite or bitter aftertaste. A nice balance of tannins. Perhaps a hint of berry. Went very nicely with my Chinese food this evening.
I may have discovered the reason why Yellow Tail is in every wine, grocery, and convenience store within 50 miles of my home. It's cheap and well done.
Bravo.

I'm beginning to notice a trend in my personal wine tasting. With many wines, such as this one, I'm not so excited upon first taste. A very few sips later I'm just fine with it. Initially I thought it was a bit...sour maybe. Now that I'm on my second glass it's pretty tasty.
Wouldn't be my first choice but if I'm shopping at the mini-mart, I'll pick it up again.
