I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

Another Co Wine Co Value.
Sarabande, Cotes-du-Roussillon Village, 2006 is delicious! Grenache based, just super clean, fruity while still light and elegant. It has a nice stick to your palate texture. I mean, I can't imagine what else you could ask for for $13.99. I'd pay $20 for this wine.
John at Colorado Wine Co. recommended this to me. And when I was hesitant because of the low price - as in "Really? How can a $13 wine be any good?", he nicely said, "it's easy to find good expensive wines, the challenge and the fun is finding the good cheap ones." (loosely quoted!)
Anyhoo, he was right, AGAIN. Call John and give this one a try for dinner (or lunch?) tonight.
