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.

Les Perles Piquepoul Blanc 2009 (about $13)
About the Wine: I have never tried this varietal before. The Wikipedia entry on it says that it is a very acidic grape with a long history in France that includes near extinction due to a particularly nasty blight. It is not widely cultivated, hence my ignorance of it.
About THIS Wine: In the glass the wine is hay colored with a clear rim. Citrus and cut grass blend in a pleasant nose. The palate is very full with lemon and tangerine flavors that end in a citrus finish.
Drinking This Wine: Les Perles is a little bit acidic for a sipping wine. It would go well with grilled chicken.
Overall Impression: I like the wine and the price. This is a good value.
