Domaine Berrien Cellars Grandma's Red

Description on the bottle: Grandma's Red is made from the same full-flavored, deep red blend of grapes as our Wolf's Prairie Red, but in a sweet style.  "What big taste your sweet red wine has, Grandma!" exclaimed Little Red Riding Hood.  "All the better to eat you with my dear," answered the Wolf (in Grandma's clothing).

Sarah says:  Wow, that is the funniest bottle description I've had so far.  Awesome.  I know we picked up this bottle on our winery trip in September, but I can't for the life of me remember the winery.  I'm assuming Jon liked this wine better than me.  Although I will drink it, it's not my favorite red wine.  It's a bit sweet, but not horribly so.  I don't have anything specific to say about it, but I did drink two glasses, so it must have been good!

Overall rating:  Thumbs half-way up, it's good but not memorable.

Sarah says:  Speaking of Grandma - we took this bottle of wine to my Mom's for Thanksgiving.  The title felt fitting.  Since it's Thanksgiving season, I thought I'd write about a few of the things I'm thankful for.  None of this is shocking, but it's nice to list it all out every once in awhile.  As Eeyore would say, having a lot to be thankful for, is in itself, something to be thankful for.
