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.

Bodegas Y Vinedos Noe Tempranillo #3 2009 (about $11)
About the Wine: I told one of the managers where I work that I was having chicken and rice and wanted something cheap to go with it. This was his recommendation. I have heard rumors that the Chinese are starting to take an interest in Spanish wine and that prices will soon skyrocket, but for now it remains a good region for value.
About THIS Wine: The wine is dark red in the glass with a thin, nearly clear rim. The nose is fairly woody, though some notes of red berries do come through. The palate is fairly acidic and frankly not all that pleasant with a slightly sour finish.
Drinking This Wine: Definitely not a sipping wine and too light for anything heavy. I would describe this as Pinot Grigio drinker's red and as such it would go well with foods that go with Pinot Grigio, like chicken and rice.
Overall Impression: The wine is unimpressive but it is cheap. I will say it is reasonable for the price.
