Since Rioja is one of our favorite wine producing areas, we’re fortunate that we have two Rioja wines to review here. These are from Vina Eguia, a winery established back in 1973 in the town of Elciego, right on the border of the Spanish Basque region. The winery was purchased by Bodegas Muriel in 2010.

We’ve written about several outstanding Beaujolais recently, from the 2018 vintage. Here we’ll talk about yet another, from Moulin-A-Vent. This is a Cru Beaujolais, which come from ten designated villages that represent the pinnacle of quality in Beaujolais. These can be quite ageworthy, serious red wines. This is one of them. Wine: 2018 Domaine des Continue reading Yet Another Excellent 2018 Beaujolais https://www.redwineplease.com/delicious-southern-burgundy-whites-from-georges-duboeuf/ 
White Burgundy is revered around the world as one of the best white wines on the planet. It is made from 100% Chardonnay, and the Grand Crus of the Côtes de Beaune are serious juice, usually aged in oak and providing a significant white wine experience. In the more southern appellations, the use of oak Continue reading Delicious Southern Burgundy Whites from Georges Duboeuf https://www.redwineplease.com/end-of-summer-wines-from-famiglia-pasqua/ 
We’re heading into the last month of summer, and it is still hot and sunny, so cool, refreshing wines are a great choice. Here we’ll review two excellent options, both under $20. They represent two of the most popular wine types in the market today, Rosé and Prosecco. You’ve probably enjoyed several bottles of Rosé Continue reading End of Summer Wines from Famiglia Pasqua https://www.redwineplease.com/another-great-value-in-2018-beaujolais-from-georges-duboeuf/ 
We’ve been reviewing some Beaujolais recently, from the 2018 vintage, and we can say that so far it is a vintage that every wine lover should take note of. The wines are richer and deeper than usual, and they bring great fruit as well as complexity. Some are going to age for a decade or Continue reading Another Great Value in 2018 Beaujolais from Georges Duboeuf https://www.redwineplease.com/classic-rioja-gran-reserva-from-bodegas-muriel/ 
Gran Reserva Rioja is generally a great choice if you’re looking for a value bottle in top end wine. This region delivers above its price point consistently. The higher classification wines also age effortlessly, and become smooth, complex juice with tobacco, leather and delicate fruit. The Gran Reserva is at the top of the Rioja Continue reading Classic Rioja Gran Reserva from Bodegas Muriel https://www.redwineplease.com/cellar-selection-2003-chateau-cantenac-brown/ 
Let’s look at an older Bordeaux just pulled from the cellar to see how things have fared over the past 17 years. The bottle in question is a 2003 Bordeaux. The 2003 vintage is considered to be very good, was somewhat fruit forward, and not all of the wines were built for long term aging. Continue reading Cellar Selection: 2003 Chateau Cantenac Brown https://www.redwineplease.com/absolutely-beautiful-beaujolais/ 
Beaujolais wine, made from the Gamay grape, is widely known as light and fruity. Beaujolais Nouvea, which is released every November, is made to be drunk young and is a poster child for that light and fruity image. But there is much more to talk about than light and fruity wine. Beaujolais makes bigger and Continue reading Absolutely Beautiful Beaujolais https://www.redwineplease.com/quality-and-sustainability-from-the-alentejo-region-of-portugal/ 
The wines of Portugal have been recognized more and more on the world stage over the past decade. High scores from the major wine reviewing publications, and spots on Top 100 lists reinforce it annually. This country has a wine history as long any, and wine is an integral part of their heritage. Whites, reds, Continue reading Quality and Sustainability from the Alentejo Region of Portugal https://www.redwineplease.com/solid-napa-valley-sauvignon-blanc-from-emmolo/ 
Here is a good value, really solid Sauvignon Blanc to consider. Made by Jenny Wagner, Emmolo wines use fruit from family vineyards. The name Emmolo comes from Jenny’s grandparents on her mom’s side, and she makes this wine in their spirit. She makes an excellent Merlot as well.
