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.

Bonterra Sauvignon Blanc 2010 (about $13)
About the Wine: Bonterra used to be the benchmark for organic wines. Unfortunately, quality and pricing issues have weakened its standing in the market and it has disappeared from many stores. Concha y Toro recently purchased the brand with the aim of revamping it.
About THIS Wine: This wine is hay colored in the glass with a clear rim, a touch light for a Sauvignon Blanc but within an acceptable range. Kiwi and mango make up a fairly pleasant nose. The palate is acidic with a bitter finish.
Drinking This Wine: It could work with a fruit platter, something sweet enough to counteract the bitter finish.
Overall Impression: Taste is always subjective, but this wine just is not very good by any standard. It is over priced.
