It was way back in 1987 when Concha y Toro introduced the Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then it has been nothing but accolades for this iconic wine. Wine Spectator Top 100 lists and high 90’s point scores follow it. Discerning connoisseurs do as well. This is about as good as it gets, and it Continue reading World Class Cabernet from Chile https://www.redwineplease.com/shout-out-to-hart-winery-and-the-temecula-valley/

Allegrini makes wine in the Veneto region of northeast Italy, more specifically in the western part of the Veneto, in the Valpolicella. They have been making wine here since the 16th century, and are about as dependable as you can get from a quality and consistency perspective.
