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.

Kamiak Windust White 2010 (about $14)
About the Wine: Washington State is an up and coming region in the wine world. Due to severe weather problems in California wine country wines from there are expected to get more expensive and harder to come by in the next few years. Washington's growing regions have been largely unaffected and the makers there hope to fill the void.
About THIS Wine: This white blend is gold in the glass with a very thin, clear rim. Nectar and honey are prominent on the nose. Gewurztraminer is only one of the ingredients in the blend but it dominates the nose. The palate is hard to describe due to its complexity. It is a touch sweet with a lot of light fruits like pear, apple, and melon. Sweet apple lingers in the finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is your classic summertime patio pounder. It would also go well with something like jambalaya or any other spicy white meat dish.
Overall Impression: The price is nice and so is the wine. This is a good value.
