The Wine Slob: redwood creek

Hope you are all having a great day and enjoying some great affordable wine.

I am sitting here enjoying a very nice affordable Malbec, Redwood Creek by Frei brothers, which is part of the Gallo lineup.

Let me tell you about the wine. It is full of blackberry aromas with a touch of licorice and tobacco. The palate is full with dark fruit flavors. Blackberry and plum fill your mouth. The tannins are smooth , however I would have liked them a bit heavier. I don’t find this to be an incredibly outstanding Malbec, but for the price still a great value.

Would I buy it again? You bet.

Enjoy good affordable wine today,

Wine Tasting With Friends

The Wine Slob

My profession is buying wine and developing wine lists for the restaurants I work for. This would surely make me a wine snob and yes I can hold my own with the vendors and vintners I work with.

However just the opposite is true. I am a wine slob. I find more joy in finding that inexpensive bottle of wine that is just enjoyable to drink without all the pretentious bull shit.

I will share with you my finds as I explore the shelves for that tasty wine that sells for under $10 a bottle. (on occasion I will spring for one up to $15)

So twist that cap off, pull that cork or open up that box and lets start enjoying affordable wines.

P.S. Enjoy the occasional joke and photo's that I will share also.
