I'll have to see what I can get my hand on locally. I can't say I recall seeing that selection. <BR/><BR/>A fat cheeseburger and red wine makes me think of the Movie Sideways, not a blissful moment in the movie, but perhaps cheeseburgers and Cline's Five Reds can make any bad situation good.. or at least I plan to find out.<BR/><BR/>Besides any bottle of wine with a screw off cap just means I can consume it as easy as a take out burger.<BR/><BR/>mrTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34271052.post-42224994572214081902007-07-10T18:19:00.000-04:002007-07-10T18:19:00.000-04:00mrT-I have had the Oakley Five Reds, and I agree t...mrT-<BR/><BR/>I have had the Oakley Five Reds, and I agree that it kicks ass. It's a cool blend (syrah, zin, petite sirah and a couple other grapes in small amounts), and very California (in a good way). Blends are some of my favorites wines. Check out this post:<BR/><BR/>http://columbiawineblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/b-is-for-blend.html<BR/><BR/>Cline makes the Oakley and they are one of my favorite CA wineries. They make a variety of really good wines in the $8-$12 range.<BR/><BR/>The Five Reds and a big, fat cheeseburger-that's heaven.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029488568891369801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34271052.post-86883336896768986812007-07-10T11:03:00.000-04:002007-07-10T11:03:00.000-04:00John-Have you had any experience with Oakley Five ...John-<BR/><BR/>Have you had any experience with Oakley Five Reds? I recently purchased a bottle becouse I wanted to try something different and it was on sale ($8 or $9) I don't recall having a heavily blended wine before, but WOW, this wine really took me off guard. Its such an easy drinking wine, and it leaves one of the most intersting taste at the finish. It doesn't lend much to the nose although I find myself craving it and have bought several more bottles (when on sale of course). I don't recall the vintage, I'm sure it was a fairly young wine, but I wonder what they put in there, becouse its making me a varietal wine junkie. Is there others like this?<BR/><BR/>mrTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34271052.post-49588771584771120202007-05-09T11:28:00.000-04:002007-05-09T11:28:00.000-04:00It seems everything I drink from Ridge makes me ha...It seems everything I drink from Ridge makes me happy.

I don't know the vintage, the specific designation--but it was one of those easy drinking reds that just puts a smile on your face!Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34271052.post-50194541658346945542007-05-07T18:21:00.000-04:002007-05-07T18:21:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing, Kyle.

The label says raspberries but it's all velvet in the mouth.<BR/><BR/>Like John's $30 1997 Chateau Souverain, this $20+ bottle of Sangiovese-Cabernet blend could hold its own in a crowd of much pricier bottles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
