The Best $2.99 Wine I've Ever Tasted

(keep in mind that this is the best super cheap wine I've had, not the best overall!)

Seth and I enjoy a glass of red wine every now and then. And we like to try new brands. We tend to pick new wines by the label. Generally speaking, if the label is visually appealing, the wine is decent.

This week, while Seth was at Walmart, he saw a $2.99 bottle with a pretty label. Our track record for super cheap wines has not been a successful one, but has been very successful for pretty labels! So, he decided that for $2.99 it was worth a try.

And it was surprisingly good! It didn't have a full body, but I imagine if you let it age for a year or two, it would develop more of one. And the balance between the tannin and sweetness was just right (as it seems to be, for me anyway, with most Shiraz wines).

Riding in the combine






(note: Breck and Seth were there, too, but we each took a kid and took turns playing in the wheat and riding in the combine. I had the camera and obviously Rowan.)

I think she had fun.
