I love a great wine at a bargain price (who doesn’t). Recently, I was at a holiday party sponsored by Fresh and Easy. Out of all the red wines they sell, they selected Doon Buggy Red Blend 2009 to serve. Apparently, it’s very popular among the employees too. So, the gist of the story is that Fresh and Easy bought Doon Buggy Red Blend from winery in Napa Valley that needed to unload it. This [...]

They have this Layer Cake Malbec for $12.95. I put [...]

We drink a lot of wine and order a lot of pizza, so it’s not surprising that we paired The Climber 2009 Red Blend with a yard sale pizza from Extreme Pizza. It was delicious. Therefore, I laughed when the wine’s pairing notes say that it’s a pizza wine at heart. Winemaker Notes: “Our Climber Red brings together our favorite varietals to create a versatile, food-friendly wine that unveils new aromas and flavors with each [...]
