The Analyst

Alain Jaume & Fils Clos De Sixte 2005, Ac Lirac

Cono Sur Viognier 2008, Colchagua Valley

I've had this wine on three or four serperate occasions and every time I really enjoyed it. It's well balanced with a little sweetness, a little spice and just enough acidity to match with any spicy asian or fried foods. Tough to beat for $10.

Chapel Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, Mclaren Vale, South Australia

Fontanafredda Barbera Briccotondo 2007, Doc

Definitely more tannic than I remember the 2006 being last year. Strong flavours and a little acidic. I would give it another year or two to mellow out and then it'll be great.

Porcupine Ridge Syrah 2007, Wo Coastal Region (Boekenhoutskloof)

Full-bodied and spicy - great deal for $15

Irony Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, Napa

According to Wine Current, this is a hold wine, but I tasted it recently and I'd say it's good to go now.

Chanson Père & Fils Le Bourgogne 2006, Burgundy

Montecillo Crianza 2004, Rioja

Drank this wine with roast lamb over Easter 2009. Slightly tannic with a little oak toastiness. Good value for $15 and will not hesitate to recommend to a friend.
