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.

Terra di Seta Chianti Classico 2010 (about $17)
About the Wine: The Gallo Nero (black rooster) is a mark of quality in Chianti. Please feel free to insert your own cock joke here. It is not the end all be all of great Chianti, but it is an encouraging sign when a Chianti carries it. This is the first Kosher Chianti I have ever seen and it is very encouraging for the progress that department is making.
About THIS Wine: It is a clear, ruby red in the glass. The nose presents notes of cherry and leather. The palate is dry with nice berry notes that go on in the finish.
Drinking This Wine: This one can be enjoyed by itself, but it definitely wants food. Pasta or maybe a soft cheese would make a good pairing.
Overall Impression: The wine is good and the price is reasonable, especially for a Kosher wine of this quality. This wine is reasonable for the price.
