    INSIDER DEAL! Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red from Brutocao Cellars

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: January 12, 2022 Last Updated: January 14, 2022

    THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER IS NOW EXPIRED! Sign up below to make sure you get the next one. Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.

    Brutocao is back with a highly recommended, estate blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Carignan and Syrah for just $12 a bottle, it's a new vintage of the Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red.

    INSIDER DEAL! Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red from Brutocao Cellars

    If you have been able to get in on any of our past Brutocao deals (including the previous vintage of this very wine), then you know these are special wines. And their Bliss Family Vineyards label brings perhaps the most extreme values.

    Just like those previous Brutocao deals, this wine is estate grown and bottled and comes from three of the very same vineyards (Bliss, Feliz and Contento).

    And thanks to the fact that this isn't their main label, the price point on this deal is much lower than those previous Brutocao deals, coming in with a very reasonable SRP of $16 a bottle. Of course, you won't pay anywhere close to that...

    Today's Insider Deal gets you 6 bottles of the 2018 Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red for $71.99 or just $12 a bottle.

    That's a discount of 36% after factoring in the additional savings from our super low $5 shipping! Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 6-packs you buy. Keep on reading for our full review.

    This 6-Pack deal ships to: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Friday 1/14/2022 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    2018 Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red

    From the winery:

    Our perennial “pizza/pasta wine” has become ‘Blissful Red’ - a nose of black licorice and vanilla, followed by a rich mouth feel bursting with bright blackberries, stone fruit, and mocha. This wine finishes with hints of berry pie with integrated tannins and good acidity to make it the perfect food match.

    Produced & Bottled by Bliss Vineyards
    13.5% Alcohol

    2018 Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red Back Label

    The 2018 Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red begins with quite an inviting aroma of spicy dark fruit, vanilla, a little cedar and a bit of a floral note.

    Taking a sip reveals a medium-bodied, smooth and tasty wine where everything just works. Juicy dark fruit, lots of well-integrated spice notes and a bit more vanilla all combine harmoniously. It doesn't have a high degree of complexity but it's very easy to drink. We can see why the winery calls this their perennial pizza wine!

    It ends dry and slightly chewy on the medium-long finish. Yum, this one is ready to drink now, right out of the bottle.

    Here's what people are saying about our previous Insider Deals:

    "I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!"

    "This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!"

    "I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you"

    "The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn't purchase more."

    "You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!"

    "Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about - bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!"

    "Great deals for delicious wines!"

    "We've gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more."

    "The $5 or $10 shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)....yikes!"

    "Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn't I buy a case??!!"

    "My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​"

    "Jon - you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!"

    "I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)"

    "The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case."

    "Jon, I should have bought more! Delicious!!"

    "I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!"

    "thanks for the deal...this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price."

    "Hi Jon, just had to let you know that I love this wine!!!! Thanks for doing what you do."

    "I have purchased many times over the last several months and loved the wines!"

    "Seriously amazing deal!!! I love a bold red, and Reverse Wine Snob delivered!!! Perfect for a rainy night!!"

    "AMAZING!! Damn, I should have bought a CASE!!"

    "WOW. Just... wow. Absolutely delicious. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have bought a case... or two. This was dead-center in the sweet spot of what I like. Thank you!!"
