No Need To Whine… For Good Wine!

Written by Linda

I love good wine.  Many people believe good must be expensive—but that’s not always the case.

In fact, I recently found two rich warm red wines, perfect for winter sipping,  that are both under $20!

These two reds are both great to drink on their own, with hearty winter fare, or with the good for any season favorite red wine pairing–chocolate!

gascon-malbec-2008

The first, Gascon’s Malbec vintage 2008 from Argentina.

The color is deep violet, the bouquet is fruit-forward with a hint of spice.  The finish is silky smooth.  It is a straightforward, simple wine perfect for any Malbec lovers.

Villa Antinori

The second wine, Villa Antinori Toscana 2005 is a wonderfully blended Super Tuscan.   It is 60% Sangiovese, 20% Cab Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 5% Syrah.  It’s a full-bodied red that as complex as it might seem, is a remarkably smooth, fruit-forward wine with a soft wonderful finish.
