What are we drinking?

Lani had a 2007Casillero del Diablo – which means Devil’s Cellar in Spanish.
Wine notes: Delicate and bright ruby red. Ripe red fruits –strawberries and raspberries- subtle notes of spices and touches of toasted French oak. Fruit-forward, fresh and flavorful, medium-bodied and fully textured in mouth; balanced acidity and a pleasant, long and persistent finish.
13.8% alcohol, $14.99 (in NYC)

Sam had a 2006 Richland Shiraz from Australia.
Wine notes: MWD says full-bodied, with tons of boysenberry and blackberry aromas. It’s smooth and clean, with just enough firm tannins and a dash of pepper to tell you there’s some drive behind the laidback pose.
14.5% alcohol, $10.99 from MyWinesDirect.com

This is Lani & Sam saying if you can’t write for money, write for wine.
