I am not an expert, just a discerning wine lover or amateur de vin (as the French say), but everyone has a different palate, likes and dislikes so it must be understood that any of my recommendations are personal. I just hope that you find them useful or at the very least - interesting. I also hope you enjoy my photos. It is more fun sharing then keeping them backed up on a hard drive.

Great Values from California that will not disappoint!

I have a long (longer than I would like to admit) and happy history with the original Ca' del Solo Big House Red. The new Under Dog Wines - Big House has remained a blend but does not seem to be vintage dated and has morphed into a less expensive and less complex wine but that being said, it is a great value and still enjoyable for everyday drinking:

BIG HOUSE RED  - $ 13.00
Aromas of black berry and vanilla. Palate has intense flavors of plums raspberry and blackberry. The finish has a touch of spicy black pepper and a hint of leather and smoke.

BIG HOUSE WHITE - $ 13.00
Aroma floral and citrus aroma and a touch of spice. Melon and stone fruit flavours with crisp acidity for a clean finish.
