Welcome!  This blog is focused on finding value-priced wines that offer excellent taste and quality.                      Please feel free to add comments about the posts and make suggestions for other excellent wines that can be purchased for under $25.

Format

Most of the posts will focus on a single wine.  Every couple weeks, I'll try to summarize all of the wines discussed so far for a particular type of wine like Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon.  Occasionally, I'll offer a news article or a "How to" article on various topics (tasting wine, collecting wine, storing wine, etc.).  The posts are tagged with keywords that are listed on the right side below.

2005 Clement Pichon, Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux

Chateau Clement Pichon is a member of the Biturica Group and a rising star in Haut-Medoc.  From the Wine Spectator, "Plenty of blackberry and wet earth aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with soft tannins.  Good sweetness and a fresh finish.  Maturity 2010 to 2015."  The list price is $27.
