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.

Elio Perrone Bigaro 2011 (about $20)
About the Wine: Moscato is too sweet for many wine drinkers so the practice of blending it is growing in popularity. Cutting it with another grape can make the sweetness less sharp and the flavors more prominent.
About THIS Wine: It is pink and bubbly in the glass, not the most encouraging sign but appearances are not everything The nose is sweet, floral, and fruity. Sweet strawberry defines the palate and lingers in the finish.
Drinking This Wine: Patio pounder all the way. This would be delicious outdoors on a hot day.
Overall Impression: Really good sweet wine is hard to come by and this fits the bill. Twenty dollars is a bit steep so I would have to say that this wine is very good but a bit overpriced.
