    Target Brand in the Box: White Sangria. Cheap, effective, and tasty for those of us who appreciate cheap sweet wines! It is 4 bottles worth for like $18 and lasts for a long time in the frig.

    The problem with Hearty Burgundy now a days is they replaced the old metal screw cap...Now it has a "cork" finish. :lol:.

    They also raised the price..it used to be as inexpensive as "Zapple apple"

    Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley Grand Estates 2007

    Wine Spectator gives it an 89 and describes it as follow:

    "Supple and surprisingly complex, this is generous with its meaty currant and blackberry flavors, remaining polished and finishing with clarity. Drink now through 2015. 170,000 cases made. –HS"

    All I know is its right at $10.00 a bottle and is a damn strong wine. Buy it, you'll like it !!!! NOTE: In the event you haven't tried a wine from Columbia Crest, I find their wines across the board to be good.

    I have been known to do this watching a game. I swear LSU football gives me a heart attack sometimes.
