Bordeaux Wine Values 

 

Some of the world’s most famous – and certainly most expensive – wines come from Bordeaux.  But they’re the exception.  We have some good news for you.  There’s lots of terrific wine from Bordeaux that cost under twenty five dollars… with many in the twelve to fifteen range.  And now its easy to find them. 

 

Recently a judging panel blind tasted 300 of these wines and picked the Top 100 and the whole list is here for you to download. 

 

What can you expect?  Well most of them are reds and red from Bordeaux usually means blended wines with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and some Cabernet franc.  They’re not as big and ripe tasting as wine from California, but they’re more lean and their sometimes more tart flavor makes them great with food. 

 

Oh yes, and at these prices they’re a good bet for everyday enjoyment, even if it’s just with that burger hot of the grill. 

 

So expand your wine experience horizons with these decidedly un-snooty Bordeaux wines.
