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.

Cajo 2009 (about $20)
About the Wine: Italian wine makers have been coming out with more and more obscure blends. From the perspective of a wine enthusiast this is great because it means that there are new things to taste. From the point of view of a wine salesman it is a nightmare because it means dealing with a whole new genre of products with no defining characteristics other than their origin.
About THIS Wine: The center is red and fades to a pink rim. Musk, raspberry, and earth make up a pleasant and complex nose. Cherry and raspberry are strong on the palate, which blends into a dry, mineral finish.
Drinking This Wine: This wine is too dry for a sipping wine. It would go well with a steak or sausage.
Overall Impression: This is a very good, very complex wine. It would not be overpriced at thirty dollars and at twenty it is a good value.
