'02 Muirfield Estate Merlot-YUM. This was an excellent Merlot coming in at $10. It was nice & smooth, full bodied & full of fruit.
'02 Leaping Horse Merlot-YUM. Another nice $10 Merlot. I liked the label better than the Muirfield but not the wine, adding strength to the adage you can never judge a bottle by its label...or something like that. It had a little more tannins & heat than the Muirfield but still good. A nice steak wine. 
'02 La Playa Cabernet Sauvignon-YUM. $10 Don't hate La Playa hate la game (You know I had to use that line, Matt). Their Merlot was so good we had to try their Cab. No Playa hatin' here.
'05 Lindeman's Cawarra Semillion-Chardonay-YUM. $12 After La insisted I get more white wine, I brought this home & it was a hit. Kind of off-dry (sweet) with lots of fruit.Last but not least....
Barefoot Syrah-YUM. $10 We have tried all of Barefoot's offerings & we have liked them all. This Syrah is full of juicy fruit & syrah character. I still like their Zin the best.

Don't hate La Playa -- and don't hate La. She's got to get you white-ready for summer dude. While you were away La stated her case: it's gonna be a scorcher and some Muscadets (muscadet-de-sèvre-et-maine-sur-lie from France) are a good place for you start. Or so I would recommend, if the off-dry is too out there for you. It's one helluva refreshing drink. Trust me.
Word up biarches.
He really is being a "winey" baby about making the transition to whites. alright, now your cheesy wine jokes are rubbing off on me.
