Favorite Wine Under $10.00

This fine wine serves as our house wine (or as we learned in Italy "vino de tavola"), our table wine. It has been a favorite at our home for over two years and Wine Spectator and others now agree...

2003 Two Vines Merlot

Best Buy - Wine Spectator
Excellent Value - Northwest Palate
87 points and Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes
“ This pleasing Merlot offers intense aromas of spice, blackberry, and raspberry with expressions of cocoa and soft velvet on the palate. A hint of chocolate completes the lingering finish.” -Ray Einberger, Winemaker

Price: $8.00

Hi Randy! I love this new blog. Now that I once again live in a CA wine region, this will be fun site to visit and learn more about wine. If you ever are in SoCal, Temecula has 20 working wineries to visit. Look me up!

Randy,
Great to see you're doing this... I'll have plenty to comment on wine in the future.

One note, since wine tends to be very regional; not only viticulturally, but economically as well. I encourage you to tap into your friends who have great ties to regional accessibility. Like Rich... Often times the best deals are from small producers getting a name for themselves just around Napa, Paso Robles, Mendocino, Lodi or Oregon and Washington or... Heaven forbid Virginia!

I look forward to the "wine snob" banter... now if you'll excuse me I need to finish my Santa Barbara County, Pinot Noir from Martin Ray... classic Burundian style with a tight balance of fruit and tannins leading to a silky mouthfeel and lingering cherry-tobacco finish... I am no Robert Parker; I would need to use words like "copious."
