Stopped by a discount grocery store tonight and noticed an abundance of 2001 Paul Thomas red and white table wine. Both at about $5.00 a bottle. I looked at the Paul Thomas web site but didn't see it listed. Has any one tried it? If so, what did they think of it. Thanks

If they are 2001 vintage, it could mean the retailer is trying to get rid of what he/she could not sell.
I have had Paul Thomas wines in the past (haven't had any in over 3 years) and found them reasonably good. But then, their 2001 wines may or may not have been good.
Our resident Bucko might have better input for you.

At $4 a bottle I figured I couldn't lose to much so I picked up the 2001 Paul Thomas Red and white Table wine. I tried the white with turkey left overs and found it to be a very drinkable wine for dinner. The red also good (even with my choc. chip cookie), I liked it better than the C. Shaw Cab. and Chard. from TJs. Question?? I don't see either wine on the Paul Thomas web site, nor do the labels indicate what they are. Is this the result of over production and a blend of reds and whites?

Sorry, I barely find the regular Paul Thomas quaffable. I never heard of "red and white."

Sounds like the vinous equivalent of the Black and Tan.

Whoops, sorry about the confusion, PaulThomas offers both, a Red Table wine and a White Table wine. Question: if these are the result of over production, are they generally a blend of different grape varieties, or are they from one grape variety? And, the only place I've seen it is at this particular grocery outlet.
