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.

Angeline Pinot Noir 2013 (about $12)
About the Wine: I bought this without knowing much about the wine. A customer had asked for it, so when I saw it at another wine shop I grabbed it. The price point spoke to me as much as professional curiosity did.
About THIS Wine: It presents a really lovely garnet color in the glass. Dark fruit is abundant but not overbearing on the nose. The palate is plush and satisfying but not heavy. A note of blackberry jam lingers in the finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is a good summer sipping wine. It would also do well with roasted pork or turkey. It's a little too big for chicken or fish.
Overall Impression: This wine is a really nice find and I do recommend it. At this price it is a good value.
