Honestly, its not often I spend a lot of money on a good wine and Iused to do that about once a month. Then my friend told me to try this ... and I thought ... okay its a cheap wine how good can it be ... but this wine instantly became my favourite wine ... I am not a wine-ologist (:P) but i would recomend this wine to anyone ... and its only like $12 after taxes ... so give it a try
