Title: Ten Best Wines for Under $15.00
Ingredients:
RED WINES
Wyndham Bin 555, Shiraz, South Eastern Australia, 1997 $8.00
We hear this wine is one of the most popular. Inexpensive, easy on the palate red wine. It has been noted it also improves as stored over time in a cellar.
***********************************************
2000 Bin 999 Merlot - Newcastle Herald $8.99
Based on South Australian grapes, this fresh, youthful merlot is an agreeable quaff that would complement Greek or Lebanese food. It is brick red and has a candied cherry nose. Juicy loganberry flavor dominates the front of the palate and persists on the middle palate, there combining with toasty oak and cinnamon and close fruit characters.
************************************************
1999 San Francisco de Mostazal Riserva Especial Merlot $7.99
This wine smelled of dark chocolate and black cherries. In the mouth, we missed the fruit in the middle part of the palate as the dark chocolate dominated the other flavors and the acidity. With the finish, though, the wine came full circle back to the nose, with plenty of fruit accompanying the chocolate.
**********************************************
1999 Carmen Merlot at $7.99
This wine was rich and dark in color, with lots of plum and spice in the aroma. We also smelled black pepper as with a zinfandel, but the pepper did not carry on into the mouth. (Tannins are the chemicals in grapes that give red wine character but can make the mouth dry out to a pucker.) They were evident in the finish of the Carmen. This wine would go well with rare beef.
******************************************
New! Santa Rita Chili Cabernet 2001
******************************************
Louis Jadot Beaujolais, 1998 $7.99
******************************************
Blackstone 1999 California Merlot $8.99
Method of Preparation:
WHITE WINES
J Lohr Chardonnay, Riverstone, Monterey 1998 $12.00
I had a chance to try this wine along with many of Californias leading Chardonnays this week. If you are looking for gobs of tropical fruit and cookie cutter oak flavoring this Chardonnay is not for you! On the other hand if style and finesse are in your vocabulary give this a try.
*************************************************
2001 Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc $13.00
Region: New Zealand, New Zealand
This is another excellent white wine under $15 that we have heard many rave reviews about.
********************************************
Special Exception:
1999 Michel Picard Pouilly-Fuisse $19.99
Pouilly-Fuisse is considered by many people "the wine" to give as a gift to lovers of white wine. This wonderful winery does offer an excellent $14.99 version that we do not show up at a party without! Full-bodied yet delicate, this wine would go well with shellfish and simply prepared chicken. |
