This wine is one of many choices from this “winery.” Popular? Sure. Drinkable? I guess so. But do you really want a wine that has a nutrition label on it? If you are looking for a sweet wine to drink, why not consider Bogle Chenin Blanc, or a Ste Genevieve or DeLoach white zinfandel. You deserve better!

Another wine from the rather large stable of Gallo, and in a nutshell, it’s a girlie wine. The wine is cloyingly sweet like several Zins I’ve tasted, but with something that at least tastes like strawberry added. Two curious notes: it’s the only wine I’ve ever seen with a nutrition label, and the list of ingredients says it doesn’t contain any juice. So were exactly did the strawberry taste come from?

Avia? How about “Ave Maria” as far as taste is concerned. The Chardonnay was better but only slightly. And Macedonia? Who knew they made wine. And more importantly, did anyone tell them?

If it’s the finest wine from Slovenia, they may have a ways to go, at least for me. But it IS cheap at only 4 bucks a bottle.

Not a bad one. In fact, for $4, better than some Merlots I’ve tasted. It would be interesting to see if this wine improves in a year or two...

A SPEC liquor pick of the week. Some pick. The guy must have been new to wine tasting. I think they were trying to clear out some inventory. Better if you drink it awhile but that doesn’t help the grade much.

This review is just in time for Passover. Labeled as “America’s Classic Wine” I’m again forced to ask the question, classic how? Other flavor variations exist, but frankly, who still drinks this stuff anyway, and why? Like some wines in this price range, the label suggests you server this wine chilled. I’d go with really chilled (like the freezer). But it does have an easy to open screw top cap.
