Quady Red Electra wine Madera , CA


The Quady Red Electra is a bubbly surprise of a wine the company created due to customer request for a red version of their Electra wine. The bottle has an angel in a red dress and colorful wings on a black background.
I found out it is an award winning wine. Read more about it HERE.
I was given this wine as a gift and opened it one night with my parents. It was a nice bubbly surprise of a sweet wine. It is a low alcohol wine (5% by volume) and tastes a lot like grape juice. It is refreshing and light.
This is one I will totally buy again, and share with friends.

Christian Audigier Syrah 2007 by Montpeyroux Estates

We received this bottle of syrah in October 2009 from some great friends for our wedding. I didn't open it until December 2011. It wasn't that I was saving it for some special occasion, or allowing it to age...I just wasn't sure what Christian Audigier/Ed Hardy had when it comes to wine.
Christian Audigier partnered with Montpeyroux Estates from France to create these wines. It is imported by Shaw-Ross International Importers in Mirimar, Florida.
I was pleasantly surprised. Although it is a twist top - not a deal breaker for me - it was a rich red color with a spicy aroma.
The taste was pleasant and not too dry. It starts with a berry flavor and moves into a little bit of spice. The web site on the bottle (www.myspace.com/thecoolwine) is a myspace page (Really?!? myspace?!?!) and when you go to it, it doesn't allow you to view anything unless you are a "friend." So check out the line of wines HERE.
I am looking for the Chardonnay since the description is "buttery."
