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.

Tinto da Anforma 2009 (about $15)
About the Wine: Portuguese still wines have never really caught on in the American market, which is a shame because the terroir and choices of grape varietals and techniques can make for an interesting drinking experience.
About THIS Wine: The center is purple and fades to a garnet rim. Raspberry and dark fruit are prominent on the nose with hints of bitter herbs. The palate is very sharp with a lot of red fruit which fades into a cherry finish.
Drinking This Wine: The palate is too sharp for a sipping wine. This would go well with sweet meats.
Overall Impression: I cannot say exactly what I expect for fifteen dollars but this wine does not have it. It is overpriced.
