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.

Domaine Lafond Cotes Du Rhone 2010 (about $18)
About the Wine: The classic Rhone blend uses Grenache and Syrah to make a wine that is smooth, yet spicy and full bodied.
About THIS Wine: The center is purple with a violet rim. Jammy dark fruit is heavy on the nose with hints of green pepper. The fruit delivers in a heavy, syrupy palate with a spicy finish.
Drinking This Wine: Rhone blends are a standard wine to pair with barbecue and ground meats. This one is no exception.
Overall Impression: Eighteen dollars is fairly high for Rhone blend, but this wine is very good. It is reasonable for the price.
