Excellent entry. I was checking out something like this a bit earlier. Nice that it is getting covered. By the way, I need to make my site theme more like this.

We just had an Aldi’s open not 2 miles from where i live..I have previously shopped there at a different location waiting for mine to open..I love that store, but have never purchased the wine nor beer there until today. It’s so hot I did not want to drive anywhere else to get hubby his wine. So I picked up a bottle of $2.50 Winking Owl Shiraz…I did a little taste test myself, and I am no wine expert by no means, and I liked it..the real test will come when hubby gets home to his new little surprise…but I do love Aldi’s….Love their fit and fabulous line…

I just tried Winking Owl merlot last night for the first time, had a glass and a half. It tasted good, about two hours later, I started getting a headache. I guess you could expect that from a cheap wine? I see the comments on here that people paid $2.50 for theirs. I paid $3.99 in Ohio. Maybe the price has gone up?

I live in the outside of St.Louis MO. ( home of the Cardinals GO cards )
I dont normaly drink wine. I drink Bud light or Bud light lime. I mean the beer is made like 15 min from my house,come on now. A few years ago I spent 5 weeks out in Napa Valley CA with my family . So I did pick up a lot of knowledge about wine and tasted lots and lots and lots and lots of wine. Normaly the only time I drink wine is if I am drinking and run out of beer. And its too late to go buy more. But this winking Owl is so good I would drink any time.

Aldi just opened stores around Dallas. And I love the place. For a couple of bucks Winking Owl is impossible to beat. You have to drop alot more coin to get something noticeably better unless you are just a picky wine snob.

I tried this wine and it really upsets my stomach. I had one glass three nights ago and suffered all the next day. Last night I had two glasses of rose from Sam’s Club under $10 and feel fine today.

To all whom have posted….this site has been most helpful.
I am having a gathering of about 80-100 people and have a limited budget so I would like to try out the WO brand. I do not want to serve swill at the party, but I can not afford to serve $10+ either. I am thinking about choosing 2 wines and from the recent posts am thinking about the Chardonnay and either the Cab or the Shiraz. What is the best two out there for now to serve to the masses? Also, what is the shelf life? The function is in Sept and I don’t want to buy it too early but want to start stocking up.

Much obliged for your feedback,
Lady Rhonda

I mostly stick to beer, but when I do decide to by a bottle of wine I go to a local store in Dearborn Michigan that has a huge wine selection and a very knowledgeable staff. Each time I expect to pay $15-$25 for a bottle.
Sunday afternoon I was at Aldi with my girlfriend and decided to buy a Bottle of Winking Owl shiraz. I am going back this weekend to buy a case. Nuff said.

Just had my first bottle of Winking Owl Cabernet this evening. (Aldi opened a store in my area this week.)

Not bad…not bad at all. Not really what I think of as a cabernet; too sweet for that. Reminded me more of the red zinfandels I used to drink 20 or so years ago. (That’s a good thing.)

Pretty decent for three bucks. I’ll get it again.

Anyone also try the $3 Oak Leaf cab from Walmart? Both are pretty good for the money.

The best $2.99 bottle of Cab out there. Count me among those who had a drastic cut in income. At least with Winking Owl available, I can have a fairly decent glass of wine now and then. Will try the Shiraz next.

P.S. Justin, I suggest you look up the definition of “teetotaling” before you label yourself that AND then call yourself a “wine snob.”
