Mondavi's Woodbridge Wines

[Deputy]

Well, I'm no wine connoisseur, by any means. I'm new to wine, as well. I have had a Woodbridge (although it was a White Zin) and it was NOT good. It wasn't terrible, but I'd never buy it again.

The 8 bottles I bought were on the advice of the wine steward at my local liquor store and I just told her that I wanted good quality without spending too much and told her what I liked, so she dragged me around and showed me all this great stuff so I just bought and bought and bought. The prices for the bottles ranged from $9.90 for a Spetlase, $9.99 for a Chilean Cono Sur Pinot Noir to $23.99 for a 2002 Frescobaldi Chianti Rufina Riserva. The only thing she asked of me was to take notes of what I thought of the various wines and bring them back and tell her what I thought.

Good luck and I hope you find something without having to break the bank.

EDIT - as a note - re tasting notes and what not, I downloaded an Excel spreadsheet from MS Office Online and it has a column for tasting notes, so it'll be easier to keep track of it all.
