Anybody can select and drink great wines! All it takes is a big wallet and the understanding that the expensive choices are likely the better wines. Amongst my Gourmet Brothers, over the years we have conspired to detect the "Trouvailles". These are great finds. Wines that are around and/or above a 90 point rating, that can be bought for around or less then $ 20 a bottle. So from now on, on a regular base I will share some of these finds with all of you. The today's tip is a Spanish Rioja wine:
BODEGAS RAMON BILBAO Tempranillo Rioja Crianza 2003
A plush red that radiatess black cherries, ripe blackberry accented with a hint of chocolate and tobacco. It is ready to be consumed between now and 2008. Try it - you might like it!
