Velvet Moon

Trader Joes was touting this wine of theirs in the recent flyer, so I decided to give it a try. I will admit that the first time I saw it in the store, I gave it a look, but decided to pass it by. I wish I had done so the second time! Velvet Moon Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 was thin and had nothing notable nor memorable. For the purchase price of about $5, one would be better off purchasing a bottle of Charles Shaw.



A small, sad Cheers.....

Welcome to the Dog House

"WELCOME TO THE DOG HOUSE", that is what it reads on the back label, well, I wish that is where I had left it....in the dog house! I came across this cute little label as I was browsing the wine aisles in my local grocery. I am a dog lover and I am sure that is why I fell for this one (hmmm.....what a marketing victory). The wine itself, Dog House Checkers' Cab 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon - Oakville, CA, was not as alluring. They gave it "two paws up".......I couldn't even get my tail to wag.........





WOOF!
