Foxbrook 2005 Shiraz
March 5th, 2007
Whaddabargin, yup it’s great and it’s dirt cheap, $3.99. You don’t even have to travel to Trader Joe’s to find this deal, but you may have to find a specialty grocer in your area. Out of 3 wines sampled in a blind tasting last Friday night, this was the stand out winner. 3 out of 3 drinkers agree, Foxbrook is great!
A bright and fruit forward wine, wrapped around pepper, currants, and berry. The fruit isn’t too sweet, but is on the edge, the spice does well to curve away the sweet. Great balance of oak gives it a long mellow finish.
Cost: $3.99
Year: 2005
Alcohol by Volume: 12.5%
Purchase Location: Sunflower Market, Indianapolis IN
Producer URI: n/a

- Jacobs Creek 2004 Shiraz Cabernet
Why did I buy this? This is a combo of both Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, 53% and 47% respectively. Perhaps they should have made up their mind and stuck with that. I’m thinking they needed to drown out a bad batch of Cabernet with some Shiraz. The appearance is light red, very light, looking very [...]... - Yellow Tail Shiraz 2005
This wine was reasonably priced $5.50-6.00, and overall is an astringent, well-balanced selection that perfectly embodies the fine wines of South Eastern Australia. The nose bounds forward with hints of vanilla and berry, tapering off with sharp penetrating oaky aromas. The texture has a hard robust structure but is balance by dense mouth-filling fruity highlights [...]... - Funky Llama 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Give a wine a silly name, then drink. There seems to be many wines of late with whimsical names; Fat Bastard, Roaming Goats, Kangaroo Parts, Jackaroo, and more. While these names are a bit silly I do think it’s a great way to take away much of the mystery and pompousness surrounding wine. This was [...]... - Lindemans 2006 Bin 99 Pinot Noir
Drinkable but boring. Something has been lost for the 2006 year. I’ve had their 2005 and 2004, but can not remember being so disappointed afterwards. This wine shouldn’t be served with any other wine or you will feel the shame you have brought upon your dinner. Skip this wine, it may be decently priced, but [...]... - Barefoot Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
A suprisingly good wine. I was recommended to try this wine by a fellow wine lover, who isn’t too keen on most Cabernets he’s tried. His reason for not liking Cabernet Sauvignon so much is from the many ones that seem to have overly bold tannins without offering much more. With this in mind I [...]...

Yes, this is a decent wine. It is available here in the San Francisco Bay Area at SaveMart supermarkets for $1.99/bottle. Other varieties of Foxbrook: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, White Zin, Merlot, and Cabernet. All are decent for everyday use and you can\’t beat the price.

I would have to agree with Martin in the previous comment. My friends and I get Foxbrook at the Daly City Lucky’s market for $1.99. It is a great everyday table wine that I found on accident. I think I like it better than Charles Shaw too.
Does anyone have contact info for Foxbrook? Preferably an address and email or phone number. Thanks.

Foxbrook Cabernet is my favorite, I buy it at SaveMart for $23.68/case. You can’t beat it for the price.

I have tasted all the Fox Book wines and they are delicious. I have found a great wine and the price is right.

Who produces and distributes Foxbrook?
6. pinklady | August 23rd, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Bronco Wines in Ceres, California….. So happens they also produce Charles Shaw. It also looks like they’re owned by the Franzia Wine family.

Do you know of a good way to recycle corks? I have a bag full and hate to throw them in the garbage.
