Delicious wine!!
I shared OJA! With my family, it was my first time trying it and it is delicious! A nice easy drinking red wine, it was a little dry so I added some lemon and it took care of the dryness! My new favorite!

Hungover?
I was really disappointed to get a horrible hangover from this wine. I had two glasses, and really wasn't crazy about it. In hindsight, I wonder if something was wrong with it? This is the first time I have felt so poorly after drinking TV wine. I love reds, but this one was a letdown.

Enjoyed by World Travelers
This is my favorite Traveling Vineyard red so far, even though I've only been to 2 tastings so far (one of which I hosted). I don't normally like Syrah (too dry/potent for me), but I got a bottle of this as a gift for my Aunt & Uncle who are world travelers (and I mean WORLD travelers...I believe Antarctica is the only continent they haven't been to). In return, they invited my husband & I to join them for dinner and share the bottle. Well...turns out we all LOVED it. Even me. Even my husband, who pretty much feels like he could take it or leave it when it comes to wine. For me, this was a nice middle-of-the-road red, which is just the way I like it - not too dry, not too sweet, not too acidic, not overly "oaky"...smooth and pleasant. Perfect!
So I just ordered 3 bottles of OJA! plus a bottle each of 3 of your other reds. Which brings me to a suggestion: It would be great if we could create an account so we can save favorites and vintages we're interested in trying "next time".

My fav
This wine is my favorite! It is mild enough that I can enjoy it all on its own at night and flavorful enough to go with meals. Can’t get enough!

Not disappointed
Not quite a 5, but I’d gladly serve this to guests. It has a slight sweetness to it but it’s balanced and a very nice dry red.
