Last week, Cheryl Indelicato from DFV Wines was in town for the Cincinnati International Wine Festival and I had a chance to meet up with her for lunch and to taste the lineup in her new brand of wines, Handcraft.  I had previously tasted the cabernet sauvignon, but this was an opportunity to revisit it […]

When you’re into bargain-priced wines, it’s good to find some reliable names.  While one of the fun things about wine is trying different ones—since the number of options is nearly limitless—sometimes you’re in a rush, or you don’t feel like mulling over the options and you want to just grab a bottle you know will […]

Concannon is a California wine brand that’s been around for a long time.  In fact, it’s roots go back over 125 years.  That’s a long history for an American winery, particularly when you factor in prohibition.  And with such a long history, Concannon has pioneered a number of things in California wine.  They’re best known […]

Last week, when we reviewed the Ancient Peaks cabernet sauvignon, I was singing the praises of cabernet sauvignon from Paso Robles.  So, I thought it would be good to highlight yet another fine Paso Robles cabernet. This one comes from Villa San-Juliette, a brand we’ve tasted before.  This brand is owned by the producers of […]

Sometimes people ask me, “what wine goes with chocolate?”  I usually respond by fumbling my way through some vague answer.  But now I have a better response, “this wine!”  The fruit flavors on this wine are beautiful and are a perfect match for dark chocolate. As a part of Wyndham Estate‘s BIN series, this is one of […]

While Paso Robles seems to have a reputation for producing great wine with Rhone varietals, they also seems to produce some great wine from Bordeaux varietals, Spanish varietals, Italian varietals and the list goes on!  But one varietal that I highly suggest checking out from Paso Robles is cabernet sauvignon.  Sure you can get a […]

We’ve reviewed a number of Concannon’s wines here at Cheap Wine Ratings, and aside from a disappointing, and rather out of character showing from their 2007 Merlot, we’ve been impressed with their wines.  As Tim mentions in his review of Concannon’s 2007 Central Coast pinot noir, Concannon Vineyard has a long, rich history of producing […]

If you like Italian wine and you like great deals, then Nero d’Avola is a varietal you should get to know.  It typically offers the characteristics you’d expect from a good Italian red wine, such as vibrant acidity and rich tannins.  But it’s also typically much more affordable than some of the better known Italian […]

Over the last year or so I’ve done some ranting about zinfandel blends and how I see a growing demand for these wines.  Apothic Red is one incredibly popular example of this style of wine appealing to consumers and now Gnarly Head has come out with their own answer to the zinfandel blend with Authentic […]

Californian Wine

When I first started this website a lot of people commented that I must love Trader Joe’s because of all the bargains they have on wine.  And as much as I wanted to love Trader Joe’s, I just never became a big fan.  Most of the wines I tasted from them were nothing special, albeit […]
