Red
D. Scott Whitworth, Valrico, FLWhat an outstanding wine!! I purchased my first bottle of RT California Red about a month ago and have become an absolute fanatic! Clearly, it's possible to enjoy a fun, quality wine without paying an obscene amount of money to the local wine czar. Discovering the RT gave me the same "Hey, this is great!" feeling as reaching into a pocket of old jeans and finding a $20 bill! I'm hopeful to find more of the RT products in my area. Cheers!
When had a glass of wine, it was always Chardonnay. My girlfriend Ann had told me to give red wines a try and so I have. When I was at Costco last week I was attracted to Red Truck and read the label. The last line, "There's no deisel in this truck" gave me a chuckle and anything that tickles me is worth a try. I loved it. I went back to get some more and unfortunately there was not a bottle to be found. I've been to other stores and still, no Red Truck. Please help as I would love to get some!

I was recently given a bottle of the Red Truck Red Wine by a friend. Being a red wine lover, I was very appreciative. The wine is absolutely awesome! It will definitely be added to the top of "My Favorites" list.

I'm a graphic designer and have to admit that I pick a lot of the wine I drink by the label. I love this label and the wine is great. I've only seen the California Red Wine and the Pink Truck on the east coast, but I will look for more. Would love to try the Pinot Grigio. Enjoy!

I've got to admit that I'm not really a wine drinker, I'm more of a beer guy. My friend introduced me to Red Truck and I haven't bought another brand since. I really enjoy this wine and it's the best taste for the best price. Keep up the good wine Red Truck and I'll see you in Sonoma next year!

I am a one wine consumer and my one wine is Red Truck Red! I buy it by the case and often end up giving half my stash away to evangelize among my friends, neighbors and co-workers. As far as bang for the buck, there is no other product out there that can compete. Thank you, Cline, for such a great ride. I'll be back!

I first discovered this wonderful all-purpose wine at a local high-end Italian restaurant and was delighted by its pleasant and full flavor. I was even happier when I found it on the shelf at the local supermarket for much less that the restaurant was charging. I've been serving Red Truck at my family dinners each week ever since and everyone really enjoys it. Kudos to the winemaker and as a consumer you can't do better at two or three times the price! I highly recommend.

I love this wine! Very smooth and warm & satisfying. Thank goodness Sprouts now carries it and I don't have to drive 25 miles to Whole Foods to get it. Hip hip hoorah!!

I've been a fan of Red Truck for about three years, but the new batch of the Red Wine I actually had to return to the liquor store and they exchanged it for a new bottle. It was very bitter/vinegar in taste. The new bottle was better, but still didn't have the quality I was used to. I have not attempted to purchase a bottle yet to try again. I think I'll wait a few more months. If you've changed anything, please go back. WINEMAKER CHARLIE'S RESPONSE: We're so sorry about your bad bottle, Melissa. You did the right thing by going back to the store. Wine is a delicate product and can quickly go bad if stored or shipped under warm conditions of any kind. We want to assure you that we're making better wine than ever from some of the best vineyards in California. We have a long list of magazine accolades and competion gold medals to back that up, but the only opinion that really counts is yours! Don't give up on us, we won't disappoint you, I promise.

My husband and I love the Red Truck California Red Wine and often share it with friends. We also discovered the Cline Old Vine Zinfandel at a restuarant in Laguna Beach, CA and love it - a wonderful accent to a good beef meal. Please keep "Truckin" out the fabulous wines! We are a customer for life! Sincerely, CGC

Hi Charlie! I tried the Red Truck Red Wine about 2 months ago and have been buying and enjoying it ever since. It's taken me awhile to get to know my son's fiance, but I noticed that she and I like the same wines. I thought I'd make a hit if I sent her your recent email passing along the news about your wines. She quickly wrote back and said, "Ha! I've already tried them and buy them all the time. I especially like the red, don't you?" I knew I was going to like that girl!

I just wanted to make it known that there is a little enclave of Red Truck lovers out here in New England. We used RT Red as the table wine for our wedding and ended up creating a Red Truck frenzy. My father-in-law buys cases of it now from his local wine store just so he'll have enough for family get togethers. Thank you for adding to the memorable moments of our wedding!

I've had a lot of success lately with Zin's. Today, I was trying to find a Cabernet - long on finish, nice nose since plans called for delicious Ribeye steak. Well, I didn't purchase a Cabernet, but picked up Red Truck Red Wine instead. It has all you could want from a 20 dollars retail wine, but priced under 10! The fruit explodes and the finish is there. Loved it!

My only adult beverage is red wine. I read about it and taste a lot of it. I love this wine!!! My husband bought the first of many Red Trucks and I let it sit in the cellar, not really knowing what an old red truck labeled red wine would deliver. After a big party and my favorite wines consumed, I opended the unusual bottle up. I am totally hooked! I love the taste and smell of this wine. Now, I always have it available and am very happy to see it in my local store.

We didn't have to travel to far to discover this wonderful wine. It's one of the few inexpensive wines that has consistantly stayed delicious, and that means a lot to two people who drink at least a bottle of red wine every night! The bold taste is never tart, and goes well with most dishes or nothing at all. Keep it up!

I just moved to Scottsdale from San Diego and a girlfriend came over to help me christen my new condo with dinner and wine. After the first bottle, we decided it was not enough and walked to the liquor store in a nearby plaza. We were looking for a petite sirah and they did not have any. My friend and I have always had a saying that when things in life are so "in front of your face" they are a ..."Big Red Truck"! We were looking at the wine selection and saw "Red Truck". We both looked at each other and said "BIG Red Truck!!!"....... we bought it, had a little flirtatous encouter with the young guy behind the counter and headed back home to experience our new find. On foot, laughing about how many big red trucks we have experienced in life and the experiences shared during our friendship. We opened the wine and found it to be delightfuly smooth and full of life. It has become one of our new favorites!!!! We look forward to introducing it to our circle of friends!!! Thank you for your delightful creation!!! Warm Regards, Billie and Rae (both women!)

I bought a 2004 Red Truck at Kum and Go in Pochahotas, Iowa. It's excellent! Mike Rickert

Thanks! I bought Red Truck Red Wine as a lark and now buy it all the time. It drives the wines nobs crazy when they can't name the grape, but the wine tastes so good! We buy Red Truck Red Wine all the time for gifts, holidays, and just plain old enjoyment. Salud!

Damn, that's good! Mmmm...Mourvadre, Syrah and a few other varietals blended to affordable perfection. Cline did very well with Red Truck. The flavors grumble and sing in one gorgeous voice, all velvety and languid but with punch and pizzazz in all the right places. Great wine for under $10 - you can't go wrong.
