What's The Wino Drinking: Evodia 100% Grenache

Boozers, The Wino, for so many vapid reasons, is super in to budget-friendly wines that don't suck. And her latest find, 2014 Evodia, certainly fits that bill. She admits, she was initially attracted to it because of its distinctive blue label (Boozers, would you expect any less?), but she brought it home (a) because it was 100% Spanish Grenache, which The Wino loves, and (b) its price was oh-so-very-nice. It's deep, dark berry fruit is enhanced by herbal, peppery, crushed-rock notes. It's lovely, Boozers. And you can get it at Safeway (if you're in Seattle) for somewhere between 8 and 10 bucks. Dreamy drinking, indeed!
Cheers.
