A friend of mine has a new post on her Tumblr blog called 15 Wines Under $15, where she’s gathered up recommendations from a dozen or so of her wino … er … most festive friends. My contribution was a Mourvèdre (natch): the Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre. My favorite of the rest of the recos is one of her own: the Finca el Origen Malbec. A reliably good brand in my experience.
Check out her list and suggest your own.
Cheers!
