Another reliable wine producer pair

by William Wilson on September 11, 2008

Quick hit:

1. d’Arenberg, from Australia–lots of price points, inexpensive ones are as good as the top of the line wines. Check out the red and white versions of The Stump Jump.

2. Dr. Loosen, a producer of Rieslings from Germany. I’m a big fan of the inexpensive (and consistently good) Dr. L.

Any other recommendations from the readership?

More reliable wineries to help you learn about wine

by William Wilson on September 8, 2008

A reader from Brazil emailed me to point out that he can’t find many US-based wines, so he asked if there are some options out of Chile or Argentina. The answer is definitely yes!

From Chile, I recommend Concha y Toro. This large outfit makes wines at several price points, and the quality is always consistent. The Casillero del Diablo line is a terrific bargain.

I’m also a fan of Casa Lapostolle. The prices start a bit higher ($15 to $20 US) and go up from there, but they produce some great wines.

As for Argentina, I’m drawing a huge blank right now. I know they are out there, and I’ll bang my head against my desk when I hear them, but at the moment the mind is empty.

What suggestions can you make for our South American amigos?
