Lots of Cheap Wines: At Less Than $10 Per Bottle!
Budget Wines

2010_02_25-Wines.jpg

Welcome to our latest review of bargain wines — wines for less than $10. We have survived 2009, but most of us will still be watching the pennies through 2010. As wine lovers, can we really get quality as well as value for less than $10?

I’ve only watched one or two of these shows but it only takes a few seconds to realize that this guy is not a typical wine conosoire but still very knowledgable on the subject. I really need to watch this more often.

I came across this site which i might switch to instead of logging them here. There’s a couple of reasons:

1. Its more of a database which means I can search and sort the data when I’m looking for something rather than in a blog where you have to read all the posts to find the one you’re looking for.

2. I can access this data from my cell phone. This comes in very handy when you’re at a wine store and need a suggestion.

3. It incorporates Google Maps. I can easily see which regions I’ve tried and start to figure out what areas I like over others.

you can check out my first entry and I’ll post here when I add new ones.

This is my first attempt with a wine I tried a few months ago out at dinner. The thing that really stood out with me was the finish, which wasn’t overly strong at all like most wines.

Producer: Gloria Ferrer
Region: Carneros appellation of Sonoma California
Grape Varieites: Pinot Noir
Price: $22.00

Conclusion: Very nice, not overpowering. Hints of chocolate.
Score: 4 out of 5
