We’re heading into the last month of summer, and it is still hot and sunny, so cool, refreshing wines are a great choice. Here we’ll review two excellent options, both under $20. They represent two of the most popular wine types in the market today, Rosé and Prosecco. You’ve probably enjoyed several bottles of Rosé Continue reading End of Summer Wines from Famiglia Pasqua http://www.redwineplease.com/another-great-value-in-2018-beaujolais-from-georges-duboeuf/ 
We’ve been reviewing some Beaujolais recently, from the 2018 vintage, and we can say that so far it is a vintage that every wine lover should take note of. The wines are richer and deeper than usual, and they bring great fruit as well as complexity. Some are going to age for a decade or Continue reading Another Great Value in 2018 Beaujolais from Georges Duboeuf http://www.redwineplease.com/classic-rioja-gran-reserva-from-bodegas-muriel/ 
Gran Reserva Rioja is generally a great choice if you’re looking for a value bottle in top end wine. This region delivers above its price point consistently. The higher classification wines also age effortlessly, and become smooth, complex juice with tobacco, leather and delicate fruit. The Gran Reserva is at the top of the Rioja Continue reading Classic Rioja Gran Reserva from Bodegas Muriel http://www.redwineplease.com/cellar-selection-2003-chateau-cantenac-brown/ 
Let’s look at an older Bordeaux just pulled from the cellar to see how things have fared over the past 17 years. The bottle in question is a 2003 Bordeaux. The 2003 vintage is considered to be very good, was somewhat fruit forward, and not all of the wines were built for long term aging.

Beaujolais wine, made from the Gamay grape, is widely known as light and fruity. Beaujolais Nouvea, which is released every November, is made to be drunk young and is a poster child for that light and fruity image. But there is much more to talk about than light and fruity wine. Beaujolais makes bigger and Continue reading Absolutely Beautiful Beaujolais http://www.redwineplease.com/quality-and-sustainability-from-the-alentejo-region-of-portugal/ 
The wines of Portugal have been recognized more and more on the world stage over the past decade. High scores from the major wine reviewing publications, and spots on Top 100 lists reinforce it annually. This country has a wine history as long any, and wine is an integral part of their heritage. Whites, reds, Continue reading Quality and Sustainability from the Alentejo Region of Portugal http://www.redwineplease.com/solid-napa-valley-sauvignon-blanc-from-emmolo/ 
Here is a good value, really solid Sauvignon Blanc to consider. Made by Jenny Wagner, Emmolo wines use fruit from family vineyards. The name Emmolo comes from Jenny’s grandparents on her mom’s side, and she makes this wine in their spirit. She makes an excellent Merlot as well. Wine: 2017 Emmolo Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc Continue reading Solid Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc from Emmolo http://www.redwineplease.com/rioja-under-10-yes/ 
Rioja is generally a great value wine. It tends to over deliver at all price points. You can find excellent Crianzas under $15, Reservas under $20 and Grand Reservas under $30. Even the younger Joven wines can be excellent as well. Here, we’ll tell you about a wine that sells for $7 or so, and Continue reading Rioja under $10? Yes! http://www.redwineplease.com/two-low-priced-italian-wine-values/ 
In this article we’ll review two Italian wines from classic grape varieties, Pinot Grigio and Montepulciano. They are both modestly priced, and over deliver from a value perspective. Both wines are also imported by Mack & Schühle, which imports wines into the US from around the world. Let’s see what we have here. First the Continue reading Two Low Priced, Italian Wine Values http://www.redwineplease.com/affordable-sonoma-wines-from-ron-rubin-winery/
