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.

Lurra Garnacha 2011 (about $13)
About the Wine: Garnacha is either a clone or a close relative of the French Grenache. Where the French tend to use theirs as a blending grape the Spanish make wines that are all or mostly Garnacha.
About THIS Wine: The wine has a violet center with a garnet rim. Root vegetables and red fruit blend in an odd but fairly pleasant nose and deliver in a layered and spicy palate with a light finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is okay for a sipping wine and would go well with mild rice dishes or stew.
Overall Impression: This is a pleasant and versatile wine for under fifteen dollars. It is a good value.
