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.

San Felice Chianti Classico 2009 (about $17)
About the Wine: Chianti is probably the best known of the Italian reds. Mild, dry, and easy drinking, it is a standard compliment to tomato dishes, especially pasta dishes. Chianti Classico is Chianti from the heart of the Chianti region, which Wikipedia assures me is in Tuscany.
About THIS Wine: The wine is fairly light with a red center and a clear rim. Green pepper, grass, and other verdant things make up a nose I would not normally associate with Chianti. Rich, full red fruits with hints of clove make up a very nice palate with a finish of green pepper and spice.
Drinking This Wine: This works well as a sipping wine. It would also go well with pasta in red sauce or red meat dishes with sauce.
Overall Impression: This is a very pleasant drinking experience. It is reasonable for the price.
