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.

Classic Zin & one of the few wines I have had that matched the description on the back: Boysenberry, cloves, anise, black pepper - good acid blance. Great price!

Wits End Luna Shiraz 2011, Mclaren Vale
South Australia, Australia$18.95
Surprisingly structured for the price point. Blackberry, dark plum & spice on the nose. Full bodied, juicy dark fruits with a lean minerality or salinity that gives the wine an interesting complexity.

Mar Da Palha 2009, Vinho Regional Lisboa
Portugal$17.95
The wine is a deep blackish purple. An intense nose of prune and baked raisin with a hint of earthiness. The mouth-feel is big and round with sweet prune and dark chocolate. There is a slight bitterness to the finish but I assume that may be alcohol as I felt some heat. Although not to my everyday taste, I think this will be a crowd pleaser

Very fine wine for the price. Full-bodied blend of Syrah, Genache & Mouvedre. Big nose of black plum, leather and a smokiness. Smoke, spice and dark black fruit on the palate.
