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.

Pasquet Bordeaux 2010 (about $20)
About the Wine: I first tasted this wine about a year ago and was thoroughly unimpressed. My coworkers who tried it variously described it as "gross", "awful", and "Water the plants with it." One of my coworkers recently re-tasted it and said "It's singing now."
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is opaque with a purple rim. The nose is very grapey with some charred oak notes. The palate is bland with an oak bite toward the finish.
Drinking This Wine: I had it with beef and noodles. I guess we'll go with that.
Overall Impression: If this wine is singing then it is still badly out of tune. It is certainly better than it was a year ago and I may re-taste it in another year (I do not foresee selling out of it) but nothing about it impresses me and at twenty dollars a bottle it is badly overpriced.
