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.

The Lucky Country Shiraz 2011 (about $14)
About the Wine: This inexpensive Shiraz started as a side project from the same wine maker that brought us Two Hands, a Shiraz best defined by I have no idea what because it's way out of my price range. This is either going to be a great bargain or something that wine maker crapped out over a weekend.
About THIS Wine: It is dark red in the glass with a violet rim. The nose is very jammy with a lot of dark fruit and some forest floor notes. The fruit delivers on the palate with just a hint of black licorice. The finish is smooth and does not linger.
Drinking This Wine: This is fine for a sipping wine or something to go with a hamburger.
Overall Impression: This is a decent Tuesday night wine and it is priced as such. It is fair for the price.
