I can't believe I totally forgot to mention a bottle of wine that I just picked up this evening! I have never heard of it before, but it had a cute label and (honestly) I wouldn't have bought it except it was named Dog House "Maxi's Merlot"...it's made by a winery called Dog House....don't know if they make other varietals or not: I just happened to see it; it was on sale and there were only 2 bottles left. It's got a screw cap (the new hot thing in wine bottling) and it actually was not bad at all. I'm not a big Merlot fan, but it was good. I think it was $7.99 a bottle. Winery says it's in Santa Rosa. Will have to look it up on the internet. There was a tag on it with some info that I haven't had time to read yet; I think they donate a portion of their proceeds to Guide Dogs or something.
