Neirano Barolo 2005, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$25.95
A nice, medium to light-bodied Barolo with fruity and berry tastes. Refreshing and not heavy and goes well with steaks and smoked meat. Very pleasant to drink. Has a nice long finish that lingers in your mouth. Love it.

Château Peyros Madiran 2005, Ac
Southwest, France$15.95
A nice blend of 60% Tannat and 40% Cabernet Franc from the southernmost part of France. Tastes of ripe fruits and wood and has exception quality. Excellent value for 2005 vintage. Enjoyable and easy to drink. I will buy it again and again.
Air it for an hour or so before drinking and you will like it more.

Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, Napa Valley
California, Usa$0.00
This is a nice 8 to 9 years old Cabernet Sayuignon from Napa Velley. Well balanced, with some acidity. Be sure to decant it for a few hours before drinking and you will like it better. Goes well with beef and BBQ park. I am expecting a bit more from a 2002 vintage cabernet sauvignon.

Christian Moueix Merlot 2005, Bordeaux
Bordeaux, France$15.95
I am rather disappointed with this merlot from Bordeaux. i expected a finer wine but all I got was an uninspiring, mild-tasting, average red wine. I would not buy it again, despite the relatively low price, $14.95. For the same price, I could find better tasting wines.

Rocca Delle Macie Chianti Classico 2007, Chianti
Tuscany, Italy$18.95
I was fooled by the name Tuscany on the wine bottle. I thought one would not go wrong with a 2007 Chianti Classico from the world famous Tuscany of Italy and I bought this wine without hesitation. I was wrong. I don;t like it. There is some strange sour taste in this wine that i don;t know how to describe it. It could be tannin.
I would not buy it again. 2007 is supposed to be a good year but not for this wine. There is no depth, just a strange sour taste.

Hoya De Cadenas Reserva 2005
Spain$11.95
Nice, smooth, mellow tempranillo with a bit of grenache. Fruity with some taste of cedar. Recommend keeping it opened and aired for a while as it will improve.
Good price/performance ratio.
