Tastings

I enjoy wine. Am I an enophile? No. Do I have $25 to spend on a bottle of nice wine every week? No. Do I relish in a good bargain? Yes.

I enjoy looking for "good value" or something a little different to try. Some are good, some are not so good. But it's always fun. So I present to you my "Wine of the Week", along with my amateur tasting notes.

2003 Chateau La Grange Clinet Premières Côtes de Bordeaux - $12
A nice, medium body with good fruit flavors. Decent finish. 60% merlot, 26% cabernet-sauvignon and 14% cabernet-franc.

I tend to shy away from French wines simply because all of the "Chateaus". Overall, a good buy at $12.
