As AK mentioned in her Round Top Recap, we had an opportunity to try some wine from Miranda Lambert’s winery, Red 55. Her wines are all named after one of her fabulous, always playing on my i-pod, songs and I have to admit, the actual wine is GREAT!
Miranda’s Dad gave us a good overview of all of the wines, as well as ensuring us that the grapes are grown in Texas, so it’s always nice to fall in love with something local. I haven’t been to the actual winery, but it’s located in Lindale, TX. and is on my list of locales to visit.
- White Liar: A smoothe and fruity Chardonnay.
- County Road 233: A tastey Merlot. (I tried this one and it was in my top 2 of favorites for sure…I was also told this was Miranda’s fave as well!)
- Crazy Ex Girlfriend: It’s classified as a “sweet white” wine, which would be right up Der’s alley if she wasn’t preggo…maybe this should be her after-baby gift!?!?!?!
- Red 55: A cabernet sauvignon that I KICK myself for not trying…I was obsessed with this type of wine all winter!
- Belle: This is a sweet red that I would compare to a shiraz for sure…
- Kerosene: Similar to a pinot grigio, this was my other favorite….it is really smooth and not as dry as other pinot’s that I’ve had…LOVE IT!
- Electric Pink: A white zinfandel that, lets be honest, how do you go wrong with a white zinfandel!
There is for sure a wine to suit all pallets in this group and this would definitely make a great, and fun, gift for someone. The wine can only be bought at the winery in Lindale, TX. and on the website, but Miranda’s Dad assured us he was working on getting it to us in stores soon! (I suggested Specs BTW, best liquor store in the state of Texas!)
