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.

14 Hands Hot To Trot Red Blend 2009 (about $11)
About the Wine: 14 Hands is a popular maker from Washington State best known for their smooth, easy drinking reds. Hot To Trot is their red blend.
About THIS Wine: The wine is violet in the glass and fades to a garnet rim. The nose is surprisingly heavy with tobacco, spice, and hints of red fruit. Red fruit is dominant on the palate complimented by mild spice. The finish is sharp and tart.
Drinking This Wine: It could work as a hamburger wine. The tartness on the finish makes it difficult as a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: It is hard to call and eleven dollar wine "overpriced" but this just is not very good.
