My favorite budget wine.

When I’m in a hurry at the liqour store or in doubt as to what to get or conscious of my wine budget I most always seem to pick up one or more bottles of the Yellow tail Shiraz.

Gloria and I both drink this wine regularly. I like to have a bottle on hand and we regularly serve it to our friends when they drop by. Everyone always seems to enjoy it. We often take this wine camping. At $5.99/bottle it is a budget pleaser.

This wine has a nice balance of tannins, plenty of fruit, and hints of licorice and berry aromas on the nose. While inexpensive, it is nonetheless “big enough” to stand up to hearty meat dishes, although I regularly drink this wine pre-dinner with bread and cheese. When camping, it is an end of the day wine to be enjoyed while watching the sunset.

This wine is definitely one of my personal best buys and I would encourage you to try this as well as Yellow tail’s other red wines.
