For those with a sweet tooth. Not my jam, but I stole a sip from my wife.

No complaints here. Plum, herbs, tar, leaves. Cheap. I'll agree with the other reviewer who thought Wine Enthusiast was overly generous at 92 points. But, it's very ok.

2nd time I've had this. Every wine gets a higher score at Christmas. This is a stern Barolo, uptight after 4 hours of air. Yummy, though, and pleasant to sip slowly next to the fireplace. Cherry cola, raspberries, roses, serious leathery tannins. It's a 6 year old Barolo, and that's what it tastes like.

I love toads and I enjoy a good Paso cabernet from time to time. What could go wrong? This wine is heavy with over ripe fruit- blackberry, macerated strawberry, melon. Also a bit heavy handed on the oak, adding some cocoa, vanilla, and... oak. Just ok.

Is Vajra not the best value in the world? It's cheaper than the Snoop Dogg wine at Walgreens. Always pleasing.

Well, I bought 2 of these bottles for a fun experiment, 1 for me and 1 for Doug Powers. Then I found how impossible it was for me to get licensed to ship from Illinois to Cali. I'm very sorry, my friend. But, you're not missing out on too much.
The first bottle had seepage, as you can see behind Mary and Joseph. Cork was blown and the wine is shot. 2nd bottle is over the hill, but drinkable. The color is bricked, the nose is a bit muted but there is fruit in there. Dull cherry and some spice. I taste more of the same. As I chew on it a bit, the wine fleshes out cherries, raspberries, gingerbread, and a few remaining tannins. This bottle passes, but should have been popped a few years ago. So, just know I'm enjoying this in your honor, but not enjoying it too much! @Doug Powers

Some leftover bubbles from NYE. Nothing fancy, but I'm easy to please on Saturday morning. Going to enjoy this with some quiche for brunch.

I feel jetlagged reading what all my Delectable friends drank 3 days ago. I'm hanging out with this inexpensive GS (no M) blend on NYE. Can't really complain for the price. This is a cheerful CDR that would play nice with dinner guests. Juicy berries, red currant, herbs and baking spices. The bottle and label look... "fancy." How do they do it for $11?

A perfect bubbly for Christmas brunch. Fantastic, actually! Dry and lean, frothy bubbles, apples, pears, toasted almonds, marzipan. Merry Christmas friends!
