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.

Qupé Syrah 2009 (about $17)
About the Wine: Syrah has largely fallen by the wayside as its more popular cousin, Australian Shiraz, has dominated the market. The two grapes are similar but Syrah is grown in a variety of places and thus has a greater variety of tastes.
About THIS Wine: The center is garnet and fades to a pink rim. Jammy black cherry blends with hints of clove and green pepper for a pleasant, complex nose. Red fruit is dominant on the palate with a hint of pepper in the background, leading into a finish that is both fruity and dry.
Drinking This Wine: Probably best with sweet meats, it could also make a good sipper.
Overall Impression: This is a very nice wine. I would say that it is reasonable for the price.
