Robledo Red Blend





I mentioned in an earlier blog that I'd be getting wines from California Wine Club. Please visit their site, you can get these wines for $13 shipping. Just enter the code momblog-11. These wines that I got to try came from Robledo Family Winery. I received a white and a red. Tonight I drank the red. The label is awesome.

It's called Robledo Los Bracerous 2005 Red Wine Blend. It's a rich, thick, dry wine. If you don't like dryness in your wine I wouldn't suggest it.  I however love it!

Tonight I had a glass while cooking and with dinner itself. It was great both ways. I served it with chicken, brown rice and yellow squash.

It was the first wine I've ever had with Tartrate crystals in it. They won't hurt you and all you have to do is decant the wine. They are there for flavor. 

Cheers! and Thanks again to Jon Boring from the California Wine Club.
