WINE TASTING FOR THE INEXPENSIVE CONNOSEIUR

I love drinking wine and for me it doesn't have to be expensive because quite frankly, I can't afford it. So here, I have compiled a list of inexpensive wines that you might enjoy...all under $10.00 a bottle.

WINE TASTING FOR THE INEXPENSIVE CONNOSEIUR

·       BOHEMIAN HIGHWAY…On its journey from the wine country hills to the Pacific, The Bohemian Highway meanders through vineyards, redwood forests, and palm groves. This wine embodies the casual, free-flowing spirit you’ll find along the way.



·       BOHEMIAN HIGHWAY CALIFORNIA CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2008 is dark and concentrated, with layers of black cherry, chocolate and plum. So take a little detour, and enjoy the ride. 



·       BOHEMIAN HIGHWAY CALIFORNIA CHARDONNAY 2009 is a lightly oaked, fruit-driven wine with enticing pear and apple flavors and just a touch of refreshing citrus. Uncork, unwind and let the journey begin.



·       FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA PRESENTS ROSSO 2009: My family has always made wine. To hear it from my father Carmine, these were not fancy wines, they were everyday wines, wines that were made on the dinner table each night. Our ROSSO is made of the same spirit - a wine for everyday life. You’re always welcome at our table.



·       [ yellow tail ] : For three generations the Casella family has been making wine at their winery in the small town of Yenda, situated in South Eastern Australia. It is here that [ yellow tail ] is created with the simple purpose in mind; to make great wine that everyone can enjoy. [ yellow tail ] is everything a great wine should be with a personality of its own.



·       [ yellow tail ] CHARDONNAY: Flavors: rich tropical fruits with a creamy finish. Enjoy: with good friends & a chicken salad.



·       [ yellow tail ] SHIRAZ: Ripe cherries and strawberries, spice, and vanilla aromas. This bold Shiraz is well balanced; with subdued earthy tones and lingering fruit on the tongue. This is a classic Aussie red wine that goes brilliantly with a good steak or in front of a roaring fire. It is pure goodness in a glass.



·       CONCHA Y TORO invites you to explore the new frontier of Chilean wine. Discover and enjoy the unforgettable taste of Frontera. Our full flavored dry wines are made from the same noble grape varieties used by the world’s most prestigious producers. Ready to enjoy now, Frontera is perfect for toasting any occasion. Along the way, we hope you’ll also encounter our critically acclaimed premium wines of Marques de Casa Concha and Casillero del Diablo.



·       CONCHA Y TORO FRONTERA CHILE CABERNET SAUVIGNON/MERLOT 2007



·       CONCHA Y TORO FRONTERA MENDOZA SYRAH 2007



·       COSECHA 2000 RIOJA FAUSTINO VII PRODUCE OF SPAIN



·       ZARPADO MALBEC 2010 PRODUCT OF ARGENTINA: At Zarpado, we believe in going over the top in our approach to wines! Vivid purple color leads to an aromatic and slightly spicy nose. The palette is bold and juicy with flavors of plum and blackberry, finishing with soft tannins. Enjoy this Malbec with roasted chicken and turkey.



·       VEO GRANDE THE FINEST EXPRESSION OF CHILE CABERNET SAUVIGNON COLHAGUA VALLEY 2009: This opulent red combines harmoniously intense berry fruit flavors with fresh minty tones for a truly unique flavor: the expression of Chile. This wine pairs well with a variety of meats (grilled or roasted), cheeses, or simply on its own. Founded by Francisco Javier Errazuriz, VEO is the largest private vineyard in Chile. The vines consist of 2600 hectares in the Colchagua and Maule Valley, where the exceptional conditions produce grapes with remarkable richness and flavor.
