We're deep into the winter season now. If you're craving an escape from the same old, same old, we have something a bit different for this month's virtual tasting.
I'm excited to present some new wines to the group: lesser-known, but every bit as delicious as the more popular ones you always find on the store shelves. Like Cabernet Sauvignon? How about a 96-point Tempranillo from Spain. If you like Malbec, let's try Carmenere from Chile. And for a white wine lover, what's a good alternative to Chardonnay? A smooth and creamy 90-point Viognier from France.
New to these tastings and this group? You can learn all about me here.

Once widely used in Bordeaux, Carmenere found its way to Chile in the 1800s and became the country's flagship red grape.
Bodegas VatanTinta de Toro 2021 - $38RATED 96/100
Tempranillo is the secret ingredient in Rioja red wines, and on its own, can be as bold and heady as a great Cabernet.
