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 d'Aiguilhe Querre, Cotes de Castillon, Bordeaux

This wine received 91 points from Robert Parker;  "A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue along with notes of Blueberries, black raspberries, pain grille, and white chocolate.  Full-bodied with superb richness, a layered texture, a multidimensional mouthfeel, and a finish that lasts nearly 40 seconds, it can easily compete with some of the vintage's top crus."  The list price is $23.
