From the Delicato Family Vineyards group comes Twisted — simple California wines at a bargain price. I recently tasted the whole lineup and think these two are the winners:

Twisted 2007 Pinot Grigio California ($8). Off dry, but with enough zesty green apple and juicy citrus to balance. A fresh, easy to drink “patio” wine — also works with crab cakes! Ready to drink now. (2009-07-14) Locate this wine online or in your area.

Twisted 2007 Merlot California ($8). Like a slice of blueberry pie — with some red cherry mixed in. Lush, smooth, vanilla, just a touch of spice. A good burger wine! Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.
