Both were excellent.

holy crap. Hope you enjoy the drink $75?
I've been trying to focus in the affordable, and do recognize that sometimes pricepoint does make a difference, and that here in Ontario there are artificial tax barriers to affordable wine. But I clearly can find some good plonk for under the 10 - 12 dollar mark. Better than some that I have purchased for more than $20.
The one that I like to recommend is a Portuguese offering from a Castelao grape variety. This red wine is a full flavoured drink along the lines of an Australian Cab. Really nice for under $10/bottle, and roughly half the cost of the Wolf Blass products from down under.
The wine is called Pedras do Monte
Here is a description of this from the liquor store
