Tedeschi Capitel Dei Nicalo Appassimento 2012
Veneto, Italy$18.25
Easy drinking, soft on the palette. Not a big nose, but nice enough with some dark red fruit smells.

Wyndham Estate Bin 444 Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, Southeastern Australia
Australia$14.95
This was given to us by a friend, who was surely impressed by the fancy "Bin 444" label. Unfortunately, this wine is weak and extremely forgettable. A red wine for people who really don't like big flavour.

California, Usa$21.95
A bottle that attracts many with the label, the wine is completely...average.

1951 Rotary Club Unoaked Chardonnay 2012
Ontario, Canada$11.25
As one of my friends describes it: this is airplane wine. Completely forgettable, but drinkable.

Seven Falls Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, Wahluke Slope
Washington, Usa$21.95
This wine has really strong caramel and charred notes, and does have a sweet palette. If I was looking for a wine with smoky, charred notes I would rather go with a pinotage blend than this...it just seems a bit out of balance.

Solaz Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Castilla León, Spain
Spain$11.95
For a wine that was served at a banquet, we got more than expected. Definitely Spanish in style with emphasis on the fruit – but it lacked the depth and complexity of a high quality wine.

Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin Zinfandel 2013, Lodi
California, Usa$17.95
A nice Californian Zin - not overly sweetened and a generous amount of heat, spice and dark berry flavours. Not as complex as some higher end examples - but good value for the money.
