Weekend Wine Reviews #10

Lindemans
Lindemans Chardonnay, 2008. South Africa, $5.00. They say: rich melon, grapefuit and tropical aroms with a rounded finish. We say: we agree with everything they say. Excellent! Buy again: Yes definitely! Espcecially for $5.00!

Gnarled Vine
Gnarled Vine, 2005, Zinfandel. Lodi, California. $7.99 We say: light bodied, blackberry, very drinkable and pleasant. Not an oustanding zinfandel, but for $7.99, not bad. Buy again: probably.

Thanks for the reviews. I am not usually a fan of Chardonnay, but I like the grapefruit notes you talk about. Will try.

These are amazing prices. I mean, wine for $5? I'm from Canada and nothing under $12 is drinkable.

I don't think I've tried either of these. Thanks for the review! :D

I missed the last big wine tasting at my local wine store...darn it. I totally forgot about it until it was too late.

Lindeman's is a brand I've enjoyed in the past!
