QPR - Quality to Price Ratio - is an important factor when you are buying wine. Whether it is $9.00 or $59.00 you want to feel your wine is worth the spend. I post my suggestions on my blog and on Twitter. As well I talk about my Cellar Treasures and review Wine Books.

Grant Burge The Holy Trinity Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvèdre 2008, Barossa Valley, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$29.95
Popular Rhone-style blend. Rose petal, red cherry (almost red licorice) on nose. Extremely well integrated (although you do feel a bit of heat from climate/alcohol). Lots of ripe fruit but good tannin/acid backbone. A must try!

Piper Heidsieck Vintage Brut Champagne 2004
Champagne, France$61.20
Lovely brioche nose with a touch of minerality - lemon and apple. The palate followed through with grapefruit, lemon, apple and a biscuity quality. Elegant mousse and a lingering finish.
Tasted Sept 12

Trimbach Cuvée Frédéric Émile Riesling 2005
Alsace, France$55.00
Small cheat as I tasted 2006 but this is a fine wine - Very focused dry Riesling - citrus (slight petrol) and honeysuckle on the nose. Tasted April 12

Dr. Hermann Erdner Treppchen Riesling Spätlese 2006, Qmp
Mosel, Germany$16.95
Medium dry/sweet - this beautifully balanced wine with honey, lime and peach notes is creamy in the mouth and has just enough acid to keep it fresh with a lasting finish.

Trimbach Vendanges Tardives Pinot Gris 2000, Ac Alsace
Alsace, France$59.00
Honeyed marmalade on palate and nose. Interesting, not cloying dues to cleansing acide streak. Great year for V.T in Alsace. I am told there is a touch of BA too. Tasted April 2012
