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.

Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Red Blend 2010 (about $18)
About the Wine: Indian Wells is the new line from Chateau Ste. Michelle which, I am told, is somehow different than all the other lines from that portfolio.
About THIS Wine: The center is purple with a red rim. Blackberry, cooking spice, and raspberry make up a thick, rich nose. The palate is dry, fruity, and tannic. Dry red fruit lingers in the finish.
Drinking This Wine: Probably not a sipping wine. This would do well with juicy meat or pasta dishes.
Overall Impression: This is a very good wine. Eighteen dollars is not cheap but the wine is worth it. This one is reasonable for the price.
