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.

Apaltagua Pinot Noir 2010 (about $11)
About the Wine: Chilean wine country is divided up according to its valleys. I have had wines from Maipo and Colchagua valleys and the taste varies noticeably by region. This is my first Tricao Valley wine, so it is a learning experience for me.
About THIS Wine: A pink rim surrounds a garnet center. Sour cherry is prominent on the nose along with, oddly, the smell of roast duck. The sour cherry is sharp and strong on the palate, followed by a spicy finish.
Drinking This Wine: A good sipper for anyone who likes sour drinks. This wine would also make a good pairing with roast duck.
Overall Impression: The wine is decent and the price is low. This is good for the price.
