Back in Action!

It has been right about two months now since the last post. Far from where I was hoping to be as far as keeping on a solid regular schedule. Tech problems prohibited the site from being updated, but they are all taken care of. So, with seemingly nothing in our way, we shall wonder down this path again.

Something that has been asked of this blog is to offer ideas for wines that are outside of the radar. These wines may well be odd grapes or off the path regions. I am not going to limit them to wines that we have on hand, and some we may even have a hard time getting.

A few wines that I have been drinking for the past bit are the 2005 Argiolas Costera from Sardinia. It is made from the Sardinian cousin to Grenache and is an amazing value. A medium bodied wine that made in any other region would cost well over $20 retail.

La Piece Sous le Bras is a little country wine from Provence. It is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cinsault. A great price for a wonderful food wine. Search this wine out!

The Cariane Malbec Reserva is a full flavored rich bargain from Argentina. This wine will drink well for the next 6-7 years so don't be afraid to lay this down for a while. Imported from our friends Pinnacle in St. Louis.

Getting back on track feels great. We will keep you posted about all up and coming events.
