I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

Starborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011 (about $13)
About the Wine: Marlborough, New Zealand is well known for the Sauvignon Blancs that grow there. The terroir gives the wine a grapefruit flavor unique to the region. The most common complaint is that all the Sauvignon Blancs from the region all seem to taste the same.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is light with no distinct rim. The nose is fruity with citrus and grapefruit. The flavors delivers on the palate, though the finish is very light.
Drinking This Wine: Easy drinking as a sipping wine, Starborough would also go well with fruit dishes or fish.
Overall Impression: This is a ten dollar bottle. It is overpriced.
