Lambrusco "Bocciolo", Ermete


I love this one too! The sparkling bubbles leave your lips a crimson red, x...

This is a sparkling red wine made from Lambrusco grapes. It is deep crimson in color, lightly sparkling, and lightly sweet on the palate with red raspberry flavors.

Vinho Verde, "Gazela", Sogrape


Even at $3.99 a bottle it is still perfect on the pallet! One of my favorites for summer outdoors drinking.

Gazela is a light, crisp and fruity Vinho Verde from the Minho region in northwest Portugal.

***Update***
I went to the store the other day and now it costs $4.99 a bottle!  A $1.00 increase with in two years?  I think that is that is food inflation at its best!

Solms-Astor - Cape Jazz Shiraz


This wine sounds delicious. You know that I am a sucker for anything bubbly! Too bad we didn't go to this winery during our South Africa visit in 2010.

Cape Jazz Shiraz is a Pétillant red wine shiraz. To our knowledge, this is the first “Lambrusco” style wine to be made in the Cape: sweetish, low in alcohol, with celebratory fizz.
