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.

No BS Crianza 2009 (about $10)
About the Wine: Donald Trump is credited with saying that no one ever went broke overestimating the bad taste of the American public, a statement that he then spent the rest of his career proving. I could rage at the indignity done to the noble tradition of wine making by names like "Sweet Bitch," "No BS," and "7 Deadly Zins." Doing so would be about as useful as shouting at the rain.
About THIS Wine: The center is dark red and fades to a pink rim. Pepper and pine combine for an unusual but pleasant nose. Layers of cherry and mint form the palate, which thickens into a cassis finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is a good sipping wine and it would also pair well with barbecue.
Overall Impression: I like everything about this wine but the name and I do not think it would be overpriced at fifteen dollars a bottle. At ten it is a great value.
