Tasting Notes

Who would have thought: an OK Cab for $2.99! I usually look for wines in the $5.99 to $9.99 range when roving the shelves at Trader Joe's for outrageous bargins, but the wife picked this one up. I put off opening it for a couple of months, in favor of more "promising" candidates, not expecting anything but a sour, tasteless, throat-wrenching experience. Our kudos to winemaker John Willumson, for saving those of us on a tight budget from terminal "throat-wrench". [MA]

Does anyone know the address of this winery? I am especially fond of their Merlot.

Trader Joe's in Phoenix, AZ no longer carries this wine. Any idea where it can be purchased in the area?

I stumbled across this wine at a dollar store and really scored! I bought one bottle to test and went back the next day and bought 60 bottles all they had.. What a score wish there was more.
