April 1: What No Fools Will Drink

I'ts April Fools Day. You don't want to be the fool caught drinking a poor value wine. The most commonly asked question I get is: Are there any good value wines out there? The answer is "yes", literally there are hundreds of them. Be discerning, do a little research, and you should be able to find some wonderful wines.

Here is my "No Fools" list of some great finds:

2009 Cameron Hughes Sauvignon Blank (Leyda Valley) $12

2008 Castle Rock Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley) $12

2009 Sand Rita Reserva Malbec (Colchagua Valley) $12

2009 Tangley Oaks Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) 15

2009 Simonsig Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz (Stellenbosch South Africa) $13

Thanks, Tricia. You always have great suggestions for those of us that usually just drink moderately priced wines. I have printed the list and will pass it along.
