I'm drinking this with steak and baked potato. This is the first red wine I can say I've actually enjoyed drinking in the past year.

Today's an $8 dollar bottle of Zin with a screw top for easy access kinda day

This wine is actually super easy to drink and is going to get me in trouble. It's not very bold on the back end but is pretty juicy up front.

This was a gift. It is a favourite of my cousin. It came in a can, which would be great for camping, cottaging or tail gating. This is a medium to full body red wine with a deep ruby red colour. Tobacco & raisin with hint of vanilla. More mellow on the second day. A bit strong for me but I can see why my cousin likes it.

Smooth, but dry and acidic. Not much aftertaste.

Wine out of a can! Nice choice Matt! It has a nose of an inflatable toy with sweet syrup with red food colouring taste.

Great bursting flavor with a smooth after taste. Not too sweet and a great selection if you are having a dinner party of friends over. Very nice Zinfandel!
