My source? Hannaford. The wine? Our Daily Red. If you are someone who would like to go with bottled as opposed to boxed at least a couple of nights a week, but need to keep the cost from spiraling out of control, this brand just might be for you. We usually pay a premium up here for nearly everything, so if I can pick it up for $6.99 a bottle, I’m relatively confident you’ll be able to snag an affordable price on it in your neck of the woods.
Most recently, I served it with a speck carpaccio and tried pairing it with a standalone tasting of a special occasion aged asiago. Both were complimented by the wine. We’ve also served Our Daily Red successfully with a basic steak dinner, strongly flavored pasta sauces and more. Obviously, for the price you are not going to be able to compare it to higher end reds. But against those in the under ten bucks category? Definitely decent.
Between this wine and the case Linsey built for Amazon, we’ve had a much more interesting dinner repertoire than we otherwise would have, living this remotely. Judging from their web site, they have a few other types I’m going to keep my eye out for as well. My personal verdict on Our Daily Red? Worth checking out.

Awful, Just Awful

I just tried a bottle and it was sour and vinegary. I've had fortified wines that tasted better.

I'm sorry to hear that. You know, we finally found a source down here and picked up a bottle the other day. I wouldn't say it was terrible, but not what we remembered. I'm wondering if since it's so popular, they stepped up production and it's impacted quality a bit? Or maybe they just had a bad batch. I'm going to give it a few months and try again, personally. They are stepping up to provide a product that addresses some unmet needs, so I want to support that. Personal call, though. Sorry you had a bad experience.
