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.

Liberty Creek Chocolate Red ($9)
About the Wine: Chocolate wine has gained popularity over the last few years. It is usually not made from the highest quality chocolate or particularly good wine. The lack of a vintage on this bottle was particularly distressing.
About THIS Wine: The rim is darker than the center in the glass. This is the reverse of what red wine is supposed to look like. The nose is reminiscent of the cherry cordial chocolates they sell at dollar stores. A palate of burnt chocolate leads into a lingering (and I mean lingering) finish of cherry cough syrup.
Drinking This Wine: It gave me a strange craving for White Castle burgers.
Overall Impression: This wine is hilariously awful. The vendor who tasted us on it got really mad when I told her I would be doing this review. At nine dollars bottle it is in no way worth it.
