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.

Sangre de Toro Red Wine (blend) 2010 (about $11)
About the Wine: Spanish reds are known for their smooth body and supple character. Some wine drinkers look down on them for being too mild and not complex enough, but many Spanish wines are pleasant sipping wines and good wines for the novice drinker.
About THIS Wine: The center is violet and fades to a garnet rim. Dark fruit is pleasant on the nose. Licorice and red fruit make up a pleasantly mild palate that fades into a dry finish.
Drinking This Wine: Enjoy with Spanish rice or as a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: The wine is not spectacular but the price is. Sangre would not really be overpriced at fourteen or fifteen dollars, so this is a good value.
