Yellow Tail Sangria

Type: Sangria
Year: N/A
Price: 5.99
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Brook Falls Discount Wine & Spirits on Lisbon
Comments: (Sat. May 10th 2014) Yellow Tail does it again. Very tasty and refreshing sangria, the way Sangria was meant to taste. Don't expect a fine wine, but rather, choose this wine on a hot summer day. Then, it's sure to quench your thirst.

Coppola Rosso & Bianco Rosso 2010

Type: Rosso
Year: 2010
         2012 (Mon. June 23rd, Brook Falls Discount Wine & Spirits on Lisbon)
Price: 8.49
          8.49 (Mon. June 23rd, Brook Falls Discount Wine & Spirits on Lisbon)
Rating: 2 - Probably won't buy again
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Brook Falls Discount Wine & Spirits on Lisbon
Comments: (Mon. June 23rd) This 2012 Coppola Rosso appears to use the same label, the only difference being the year. Interestingly, we didn't like the 2010, but the 2012 is very good. So, I up'ed the rating to "Will try again", to see if it has consistently become a better wine. For now, it was good.
Comments: I don't want to be too critical, since this wine was ok. But, I enjoyed their earlier belends much more. I believe their 2006 was one of the best, but, unfortunately they have not remained consistent since then and I won't be buying this one again. However, maybe when they come out with the next year, I may give it another chance.

Truffle Red Wine

Type: Red Wine
Year: N/A
Price: 10.99
Rating: 4 - Would definitely buy again
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: Upon initial opening, you can detect the pleasant aroma. We were thinking this could be a good indicator or a false impression. It was good. The wine is full-bodied as it states on the label, however sweet, so its best as a "sipping" wine, like a port. Overall, it's a great wine. We would definitely buy it again, to at least verify that it is also a consistent taste and not just a good bottle.
