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.

New Age Rose, no vintage on the bottle (about $12)
About the Wine: The New Age brand debuted with a Torrontes/Sauvignon Blanc blend that is bubbly and just a bit sweet. That wine has an appeal to White Zinfandel drinkers, so it makes sense that New Age would make a blush wine to advance further into that market.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is pink with a clear rim and bubbles a bit. Crisp acidity is present on the nose along with strong notes of blueberry. The palate is sweet and tart with a sweet berry finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is a classic patio pounder that can be drunk by itself or with snack foods. It is a little sweeter than I would normally recommend with a meal, but it could go well with spicy food.
Overall Impression: Decent sweet wines and especially decent blush sweet wines are hard to come by, so I would say this one is good for the price.
