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.

New Age, no vintage on the bottle (about $12)
About the Wine: South America is mostly known for its bold, full flavored reds. They do also make whites but for some reason those have never really caught on. This wine is a white blend from Argentina.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is so light that it is almost clear and it is slightly bubbly. The nose could easily be mistaken for that of Moscato due to the strong smell of peach, though there are floral notes here that Moscatos do not generally have. On the palate the wine is crisp, slightly sweet, and tangy with a lot of citrus flavor that evens into a lemon finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is a classic patio pounder. It would do well with spicy or salty foods and it would also be fine by itself.
Overall Impression: Not a wine that will impress most aficionados, but for a cool summer drink this is a good value.
