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.

Bodega La Flor Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 (about $15)
About the Wine: When I looked at the vintage on this Cab I said, "If this was any younger we could be charged with statutory rape." The representative from the vineyard assured me that this is part of the vineyard's distinctive style.
About THIS Wine: The center is dark red with a pink rim. Jammy, velvety dark fruit and oak combine with hints of green pepper for a very rich and pleasant nose and those flavors deliver on a palate that ends in a spicy, jammy finish.
Drinking This Wine: Drinking this gave me an urge to eat a nice, juicy steak.
Overall Impression: To taste this wine I would have guessed the price closer to twenty dollars than fifteen and that makes it a good value.
