¡Viva Montañana!

Marqués de Montañana Viura
$3.99 @ Trader Joe's

Brian sez: Man, this is just a great little treat. Sure, it might be a hair too fruity or sweet for some folks, but there's just enough acid in there to keep it sane. A little floral, a little tropical and sure to be great with the stir fry chicken and bok choy I'm just about to eat.

Julia sez: It's good for cooking.

Binary scale rating: 1

Guenoc, Guenoc... Who's there?

Guenoc 2008 Victorian Claret
$9.99 @ Jenifer Street Market

Brian sez: Some red fruit, maybe just a little tannic, this is a great wine for steak night. Very Bordeaux-y if you're in to that kind if thing.  It's on the high end of the CWC budget, but still very much in the range for a Saturday night wine, I think.

Julia sez: Deep punt.
