Review: Longwood The Shearer 2007 Shiraz

This is a wine that proves that screw caps don't necessarily mean that the wine is cheap or tasteless.

Of course Australia has been a leader in replacing cork with screw caps having done so for a number of years now.  In this case, the Longwood Shiraz is a delicious wine at a very affordable price (under $20).

Full enough to stand up to a steak on the grill yet not so strong that it doesn't drink well on its on this is a wine I would definitely recommend giving a try.

Wine Review: Predator 2012 Old Vine Zinfandel

Predator is quickly becoming one of our go to wines.  Their Zin is notable for the smoky flavors that are not usually associated with so much as with a Cabernet Sauvignon.  Beyond the smoky this wine still has the spicy zip that we enjoy from a good Zinfandel.

At 14% alcohol this wine avoids the pitfall of many Zins that are so high in alcohol content that they literally burn our mouth.

At less than $20 this is a nice wine to enjoy either with snacks/appetizers or with a spicier dish such as Pasta in Vodka sauce.
