Welcome to the first Wino Wednesday linkup, I can't wait to see what wines you all have chosen and want to thank you for joining in on the fun! It's so exciting to see my monthly feature turn into a linkup :)
My sister-in-law tried the Spellbound Petite Sirah in Oregon and raved so much about it she brought back a case and gave me a bottle. The Spellbound was so easy to drink, it was light but also had anice amount of body to it, I was equally impressed as she was.
We had the first glass alone and the second with dinner which was lamb, hummus, salad, olives and bread. It paired well with everything, but I enjoyed it best alone - I was able to taste the flavors a lot better, it was a really delicious wine!
Here are the wine maker's notes:
"Intensity of color, rich black and brambly fruits, vanilla bean and roasting coffee aromatics are complimented by remarkable approachability in the 2011 Spellbound Petite Sirah. The wine is crafted to unleash dark and luscious characteristics, while managing tannins to deliver an opulent and juicy Petite Sirah. This lush yet easy drinking wine provides intense berry character, with superb texture you will find in none other than Spellbound Petite Sirah."

I would highly recommend this wine both for red wine lovers and those who are just beginning to drink reds, not to mention it's a steal at $13. I hope you all give it a try!
Fun link up! Great label.
oooh hubby would love this! totally gonna get it for him ;)
I'm a big fan of Spellbound wines, both this one and the Cab! They taste amazing, and I think the label is so pretty.

I do what I want.
$13 is my kinda wine :) I'm not a huge red wine drinker but my husband is so we may have to give this one a try!
This sounds super yummy! I'll have to see if I can find it! I like the label too!
