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.

Red Diamond Pinot Noir 2011 (about $11)
About the Wine: Red Diamond is a staple in the inexpensive wines market. They are not highly regarded but they are a go to brand for their price point.
About THIS Wine: The center is garnet and fades to a clear rim. The nose reminds me of the inexpensive chewy candy they sell at dollar stores. The smell is not unpleasant, it is just not what I associate with wine. Mild red fruit makes up a palate that ends in a licorice finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is mostly a sipping wine. It could work with pork steak.
Overall Impression: This Pinot Noir is one dimensional but pleasant enough. It is reasonable for the price.
