Wine Wednesday: Bogle Merlot

I know the four-state area is largely beer drinking territory, but I’m sure – like me – there are those of you that enjoy spirits of all types.  The Four State Food Critic enjoys a nice bottle of wine from time to time, especially with a good meal or even during cocktail time with friends.  If you remember one thing about wine, it should be “drink what you like” – no matter if it’s red/white, cheap/expensive, or even sweet/dry. 

 

Bogle is a California winery currently offering eleven (11) selections of wine, and their Merlot is one of the Four State Food Critic’s favorites.

If you enjoy a full-bodied and big red, then this is definitely a brand to try.  It’s got notes of cherry, currant, and fig that combine for bold flavor, but it still has a smooth finish.

The price averages around $10 a bottle (across all vintages), so it’s a nice value and good for any meal or even as an “every day” wine.  Ask for it at any local liquor store that offers a moderate wine selection.
