I'll have the house wine

Yes this is the same night.  No I am not drinking two bottles in one night.
I took notes on the last one and had forgotten to post them until tonight.
The real wine being consumed this fine evening.  Same night as my boyfriend's sister's B-day.

Happy B-day T

Is House Wine - a table blend from Walla Walla Washington. Or at least produced there.  It's a mix of Cab, Syrah, Merlot, Melbec, Zin, Cab franc, and petit verdot.  The cork (real cork) has a little house stamped on the end, very cute.

The wine smells, meaty?  No not meaty like a butcher shop (ew) but meaty like rich and thick.  Something that would fill you up. It's spicy and fruity, but it's also got this smoky sharp aroma to it. It also has a bit of that alcohol smell when you breath in heavily.

 Tonight dinner is pasta and grilled chicken with a roasted red pepper sauce.

The wine is...smooth, easy to drink and very mild where the initial alcohol flavor is concerned.  The fun part is that after you swallow the flavor slowly sneaks back in and then you taste the warmth.  It starts off sweet with a bit of bitterness and then as it travels down your tongue it develops into warmth and spicy and an over all really nice balance with the tannins.  It really lingers which is nice since it's so easy to drink.  Some wines that drink easily don't linger very long and so you take drinks quicker and we all know where that leads.  Yes, your right, empty glasses :) However, the best blend is a wine that is easy to drink but lingers a long time so your happy with the flavor it has left and don't drink the wine so quickly.  Because of the variety of wines in this bottle it goes with the pasta well, but as the title suggests I believe it could go with anything well. Anyone who enjoys red wine will love this.  It's not something that you need to get used to.  It's familiar, like a favorite stuffed animal.  Yet, it's still wine.  There is a kick.  This is a good 9 dollar wine.  Please feel free to pick it up and try it and respond with what you think.

I will be saving this bottle on the fridge in order to purchase again.

Thanks Walla Walla, WA
