had to include this article i found on Mint.com on some great wines while not spending a fortune.
I wanted to share a recommendation from Laurel – here is is below
“I love a good pinot. I drink a lot of zinfandels but am finding many are too peppery and a pinot can be smoother. I recently bought a Bogel Old Vine Zin at Costco for about $10. Shared it with friends and they all thought it was at least a $20 bottle. I hightly recommend it.”
Its been awhile…but there have been loads of wines since…
But we had this wine which was very reasonably price at this restaurant thats is part of a culinary school. The food was awesome and the wine matched well…
Wish I more to say about this Zin but can only say it seemed like a great bottle that went well with our meal.

This was one of the best Syrah’s I have had. I have no complex descriptions to add other than it was a great wine!
I enjoyed it..nothing special but enjoyable. Still prefer Cycles Gladiator hands down
