Red Wine Recommendations

Well here it is. The first two of many red wine recommendations are truly phenomenal and so reasonably priced.

1) The *2006 Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is our pick for the holiday season. This wine is made in the Sonoma County Alexander Valley region.

It is a medium bodied red wine with strong aromas and a long finish. So common for the fine wines produced from the Alexander Valley region. I anticipate many red wine recommendations to come from this region of California.

Heavy fruit flavors of black cherry and blackberry with a hint of mocha. A delight to drink when accompanied with grilled meats, strong cheeses and heavy tomato based meals. For a more complete listing of comparable food pairing ideas please visit food and wine pairing ideas.

We found this red wine gem at our local Costco and grocery stores in the $11-13 range. On line you can purchase it anywhere between $13-19, however there will be additional shipping charges. Your best bet is to check out your local grocery stores for this wine. It is a great value and tastes more like a wine in the $25-30 range. Get as much as you can. You won't be disappointed.

Share your favorite red wine with the world.

2) The** 2008 silver and gold medal winner Clos LaChance cabernet sauvignon from the Central Coast of California is our second red wine recommendation. I was introduced to this little gem when I ordered a California wine club membership for a friend of mine. You can actually order this wine by going to their site. Priced at $11.99 a bottle. How can you beat it. Although you do have to pay for shipping this company very often will have specials with free shipping or discounts on cases of 20% or more.
