In the early days of this website, back in 2007 and 2008, Chile was one of my top wine regions to find good wines at bargain prices. At the time, it was a wine region that was going through a revival. In the late 1990s and early 2000s a number of new wineries were established […]

Most of what I do on this site are wine reviews to help consumers find good, inexpensive wines. While I love making wine recommendations, part of my mission is to help wine lovers stretch their dollar a little bit further. Sometimes that’s done by sharing specific bargain wines. Sometimes it’s by sharing where to shop […]

Domaine Bousquet, in the high altitude Tupungato region of Mendoza, Argentina is known for their commitment to sustainable and organic wine production. They have also caught my attention over the past few years for being a producer with good wines at reasonable prices. The wine I’m highlighting today is the debut vintage of their Virgen […]

The Alentejo wine region in Portugal produces over 250 grape varieties. Think about that… over 250 varieties in just one region of Portugal! How many different grape varieties have you even tasted, via wine, in your lifetime? I’d guess, in most cases, it’s a lot less. A friend of mine created something call the Wine […]

Over the years, I’ve reviewed a number of wines from Argentine producer Domaine Bousquet. I like what they’re doing — not only producing good wine at reasonable prices, but doing so sustainably. Economic, social and environmental factors are all part of sustainability. When it comes to environmental sustainability, Domaine Bousquet farms organically. Their vineyards in […]

If you’re a red wine lover and you haven’t tried Portuguese red wine, you’re missing out. I mean, what’s not to love about it? Big, bold flavors, intense and exotic aromatics, incredibly reasonable prices and quite often sustainably produced. Such is the case with this wine from Casa Relvas. Casa Relvas is located in the […]

A couple weeks ago I posted a review of the Corte Giara Pinot Grigio, highlighting the delle Venezie DOC designation on the wine. The wine I’m reviewing today, the Lumina Pinot Grigio from Ruffino, is another wine with the delle Venezie designation. If you haven’t already done so, I recommend reading the background about delle […]

Have you ever sat down in a restaurant, looked at the wine list and realized you don’t know most of the wines on the list? I know, with Covid-19 you might not be visiting a lot of restaurants lately, so imagine the same scenario at the shelves of a wine shop or scrolling through the […]

The locals in Veneto, Italy, where Prosecco is produced, refer to Prosecco as, “Welcome wine.” I like that. I’m a huge advocate for sparkling wines and believe all celebrations and get togethers should include sparkling wine. I know would welcome a glass of Prosecco when someone welcomes me to an event. One of the things […]

Review: Coelheiros Red

For years I’ve been excited about Portuguese wines, primarily because the quality-to-price ratio is often quite exceptional but that’s not all they have going for them. I would call myself a wine geek, and as such I seek out unique varieties of wine and Portuguese wine producers often use grape varieties that differ from the […]
