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 Mejean Rouge, Graves, Bordeaux

The second wine received 91 points from Robert Parker, "The 2005 Mejean, a sensational sleeper of the vintage, is the finest wine I have ever tasted from this Graves estate.  A blend of primarily Merlot with only a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers an explosive nose of sweet black cherry fruit interwoven with charcoal, spice box, fruit cake, and a hint of cigar tobacco.  Creamy-textured, with real opulence, this gorgeous wine can be drunk now or cellared for 7-10 years."  The list price is $36.
