Try this wine!- Fess Parker Lot 61 Frontier Red

This weekend wine recommendation comes my way by some friends at a great company- Simple Star. If you have a moment, check out their Photoshow.com website. It truly is the premier site for creating multimedia shows with your digital photos.

Anyways, these guys are serious wine drinkers, so when they recommend something, I definitely listen. They recently told me about Fess Parker's Lot 61 Frontier Red. This wine contains the following blend: 43% Syrah, 17% Grenache, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carignane, 5% Mouvedre, 5% Sangiovese, 3% Cinsault and 3% Petite Sirah.

This wine is excellent. It's smooth and mellow. It's full bodied with no major after taste. It's a great wine that I'd rank up there with some favorites like Cellar No. 8. It's not the easiest wine to find in retail locations, so do what I did and go online to order a bottle. It's worth the wait.

This is truly a great find. At Vons (aka Safeway in SoCal) it's often right around $9 on the club card, take another 10% off if you pick up a 1/2 case. Fantastic and complex blend.
