This offering from the Bourgogne region of France is a prefect example of a simple, well crafted wine, utilizing the single Pinot Noir varietal.

This is another good example of a Bordeaux wine, but with a twist: the flavors are bit bolder than the usual finesse style offered by the Médoc region.

Fragrant, fresh and dry, that describes a good Rosé. And thought this selection is a table wine, it has surprising value.

If you are looking for a wine that displays more earthy with mildew hints in the palate than a "typical" Bordeaux, this one is for you!

The Château de Seguin is a medium bodied, smooth wine. The nose was soft and of oak. The first sips revealed a delicate wine with fine tannins and fruity flavors with oak backgrounds.

Margaux, in France, is a womans name and a region of wine making that aptly produces wines that are both delicate and elegant, as it's name appropriately suggests. This is in part because Margaux wine makers blend with a higher percentage of Merlot compared to other Bordeaux region wine producers.

This Bordeaux is a good example of the style of wine to expect from the Médoc appellation of France. It is a very laid back wine that still delivers deep flavors with a price that is well affordable.

This Bordeaux from the Pomerol appellation of France contains subtle notes of earthiness that make this Château Haut-Maillet wine distinct from others of the Bordeaux region.

After pouring the ruby red wine into my glass, the nose was quite mild. The palate was timid as well. Black current with an oaky finish were the detectable flavors. The tannins are quite dominant in the first glass, giving a pucker to each sip.

This Château Jacques Blanc offering is Merlot dominant which gives it a fruit forward character, but there is a surprise or two in this vintage as well.

The soil of Château Méric is still highly sought after for the quality of the wines produced from there which are usually characterized as having finesse, silky tannins and delicious aromas. This 2007 offering follows these trends of quality.

Pouring through an aerator, this bordeaux has a lovely ruby red color and a nose slightly mossy and of oak. Made from Merlot grapes only, the first sips are dominated by oak then sweet fruit hints of cherry and raspberry with some tannins.

This is a delightful Bourdeaux full of layers of flavor wrapped up in a mellow to medium body. In short, it's a firm wine that doesn't overpower foods. It's a perfect accompaniment to many dishes.

This Château Pipeau offering from the appellation of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is made by traditional family techniques that go back three generations. Bringing forth tempting aromas, a delicious palate and a delicate finish, this 2008 Bordeaux is meant to be had young.

This wine's characteristics are true Bordeaux. It is medium to light bodied with soft tannins and layers of pleasing flavors. Beyond this, it is a very well-rounded wine.

This Bordeaux is a blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. This combination gives this wine a distinct front of fruit with leathery undertones.

Don't judge a book by it's cover, unless you happen upon the Beaujolais Nouveau for 2010. As is the label, so is the wine: festive, light and full of life.

As with most wine from the Grand Vin de Bordeaux region, expectations are high, but unfortunately this selection fell short.

This "finesse" wine is a nice blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah varietals to create a wine that is both dry and refreshingly fruity.

One of my favorite elements common to Bordeauxs is their earthiness. Though a Bordeaux is not as bold as a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, the flavor yielded is exceptional. They typically have a good amount of fruitiness in the palate, but this fruitiness is well balanced within the palate by a fantastic earth note that can range from moist grass to an egg-like chicken coop flavor. This offering is no exception to that rule. It is a smooth, well balanced wine that brings delicious flavors to the table.

Thought this is from the famous Morgon Appellation of France, this offering is a "table wine", and if you go into this one with high expectations, you will be disappointed. That being said, this Beaujolais is a fair representative of light, refreshing wine experience.

This red blend wine from the south of France makes for a good all around wine with mild meals. It has smooth tannin with light acid that help bring the most out of the palate.
