Tres Ojos Rosado, Garnacha Tempranillo (2009) ~$8.99

Drink in a flooded hotel room during the summer months.

This was a little darker than we were expecting. Fruity but sufficiently dry. Goes down real easy. Would definitely look into again. Good value.

Twin Vines Vinho Verde 2009 (Portugal) ~$9

It looks like water.

Vinho verdes are light, but this one was a little too light -- it pretty much tasted like water. But like grassy/citrusy water. The low alcohol content doesn't help either. At least it was slightly fizzy, as it should be.

Rating: 4/10

Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc 2009 (Marlborough, NZ) ~$11

Drink until you don't notice misspellings.

This one was pretty strong on the green pepper and didn't have a super long finish. Not as citrus-y as Marlboroughs often are. It says "passion fruit and stone fruit," but that is a lie. The label also contains a misspelling, so...Pleasant enough, but I'm not sure if I would buy it again.
