		<title>2008 Mas Malbec Mendoza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sort of unimpressed with this wine, but I&#8217;m hesitant to say that to you.  Reason being, I&#8217;m a huge fan of Argentine Malbec, and have had so many of them that to me rival most other wines I&#8217;ve had.  So my expectations for Argentine Malbec is always fairly high, especially &#8220;for the price&#8221; &#8211; even under [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 Contesa Vino Sfuso Rosso</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought this wine as a party wine for the Summer.  I only bought one bottle, to try it out in fact, really unsure if it would even be &#8220;good enough&#8221; for a party wine.  Let&#8217;s face it, 7 bucks doesn&#8217;t usually buy a very good wine.  Wow, was I blown away!  I mean, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 Wildhurst Reserve Sauvignon Blanc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I needed a white wine to do some cooking with this week.  I wanted a Sauvignon Blanc for its varietal characteristics (complexity/vegetal), but didn&#8217;t want to pay more than 10 bucks for cooking wine.  Note that I also won&#8217;t cook with &#8220;cheap&#8221; wine, so only a place like K&#38;L or possibly Wine House could pull this [...]]]></description>

		<title>2003 Gagliole Rosso</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is this Borolo?  Sure tastes like it.  This is a massive and serious wine!  We had it with our Valentine&#8217;s dinner.  Before the pour i wiffed the cork and got really excited&#8230; but let&#8217;s not get ahead of ourselves!

Color, to me, was the perfect &#8220;wine color&#8221;.  Rika called it garnet, I call it dark ruby. [...]]]></description>

		<title>1999 Contratto Solus Ad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This vintage Barbera D&#8217;Asti pretty well lives up to its reputation.  I wish we could have tried a bottle of it 5 years ago to see what the years have done to this wine though.  My feeling at this point about vintage wines in general is that after 10 years they all tend to contain [...]]]></description>

		<title>2006 Monte Antico Toscana</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Spicy on the nose, and a light to medium color density.
I wasn&#8217;t expecting much before opening this wine, given the low cost and who&#8217;s heard of an Italian wine with a screw cap?  Not me, I&#8217;ve only seen it in [...]]]></description>

		<title>2007 Grange Tiphaine Touraine Cot Vielles Vignes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, we probably shouldn&#8217;t have openned this wine yet&#8230; 2007 vintage, red, France&#8230; bad idea.  Anyway, we were mixed on this wine&#8230; I like it, Rika doesn&#8217;t.  For her I think there isn&#8217;t enough fruit.  In a way, I agree&#8230; but then, it is complex, dry, and there&#8217;s nothing foul about it.  It is [...]]]></description>

		<title>2004 d&#8217;Arenberg d&#8217;Arry&#8217;s Original Shiraz Grenache</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#8217;t too far off of typical McLaren Vale wine&#8230; thick and yummy, but with the addition of Grenache to the Shiraz, it has more complexity, and a notable vegital factor.  Based on the flavor profile, and especially for the sake of the Grenache, this could have used at least another couple of years in [...]]]></description>

		<title>2002 Trinity Hill Hawkes Bay Merlot Cabernets Syrah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, what a mouth full the name is!  At first glance (referring to color and density) it was a little scary&#8230; I&#8217;m usually not a big fan of &#8220;light&#8221; wines.  But oh boy, with a sniff I was already imressed, and had instantly become optimisitc.  Basically, it smells like a rustic Italian Rosso, slightly fruity [...]]]></description>

		<title>2003 Fattoria Dezi Dezio Marche Rosso</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another bargain from K&#38;L&#8217;s clearance!  Dark ruby color, dusty, smokey, black and sour red fruit on the nose, and smokey oak, plum, and black cherry, with a bit of tannin and spice on the pallet &#8211; and little veggie action and orange peel on the back end.  Light acidity, but a great food wine.  We [...]]]></description>
