		<description><![CDATA[This Pepperwood Pinot Noir was my first venture in the Pinot world.  I was a little reluctant to pick one up, mostly due to the fact that it was the wine of choice for Miles in Sideways.  With that said, I actually enjoyed this wine a lot. I am constantly talking about labels and how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Count another for the label and name&#8230;After many months with melots I&#8217;ve decided to head to another aisle of my local wine shop.  I fell into the temptation of getting this Barefoot because of the price (less than $7) and yes, the label. Here&#8217;s the low-down: I&#8217;m not too impressed when I wine is too [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I walked into my local wine shop this week I noticed that there was a new Yellow Bird on sale. The label and region was different from the terrible Yellow Bird Merlot I tried a few months ago. The Merlot was from California and this Cabernet was from Australia. When I was getting rung [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we had some friends over the other night for Sunday Gravy they brought over two bottles of red wine. After my half of a bottle and their one full bottle was gone we decided to open up the Saint-Amour Cabert Sauvignon. I have never tried French wine, mostly because I haven&#8217;t seen too many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recommended this wine by a manager at my local wine shop when I asked if they had any McWilliam&#8217;s Merlot. This wine is also from South Eastern Australia and compare very well to the McWilliams. The region has mountains that are covered with volcanic ash, which helps the grapes grow with more flavor.

		<description><![CDATA[Just when I thought I had some bad merlots I tried Dickson&#8217;s Mill Merlot. The label had some class to it, but again I was duped into thinking the label had something to do with the taste. I found it hard to find any taste beyond the grape in this &#8220;Special Reserve&#8221;. Th taste was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week I was able to try out Cycles Gladiator&#8217;s Merlot (circa 2004). This Central Coast (California) wine could be one of the better wines I&#8217;ve had. As you may know, I get turned off by cool or fancy labels, to sell wines. I may be giving it a unfair rating due to the packaging. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I had only tried one Italian red wine before this one I had almost given up on Italian wines. I have to tell you, that Icardi&#8217;s Barbera D&#8217;asti was really quite smooth. Honestly I would not have tried it had it not been that some guests brought if over for dinner. I told them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This could quite possibly be the worst wine I&#8217;ve ever tasted. Usually there is not an alcohol taste in the glass when you&#8217;re sipping a red wine&#8230;not in this case. When I first tasted this I felt a need to glance back and see if there was anything wrong with the bottle&#8230;not in that case [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To be honest I had almost given up on Australian merlots until someone I know told me they all come from one of three regions of Australia. I figured I&#8217;d give it a shot. I wasn&#8217;t dissappointed. This south-eastern regional merlot was not too dry and held the flavor of plums and oak. The estate [...]]]></description>
