No matter what you're shopping for, EVERYONE likes a great value! I'm not talking about find a cheap version and sacrificing quality... That's different.
Here at Sokolin Wines we are constantly searching for high-scoring, quality-driven wines - and all for a great price. I've put together a list of my top 10 red wines from Southern France that will make you very happy, no matter what the occasion.
What I particularly like about the wines from this part of the world is their versatility. Made from primarily Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre, along with some Cinsault, Carignan and a couple other varieties, these wines are delicious all year round. From the grill of the Summer to the braised meats of the Winter, there is something here that works with all seasons. At a recent family dinner, I popped a bottle of the 2007 Pesquie Terrasses. It's dark fruit, black pepper, spice, well-balanced alcohol and acidity, and soft tannins make it great for early drinking... Fantastic with seafood, poultry, meat & game, as well as hearty vegetable dishes - now that's versatile.
Every wine listed here is extremely high quality at the price point - all well under $30.!! You can't go wrong?. Check these out:
