I will be submitting these brief wine recommendations to my readership on the Saddlebag Notes website a few times a month. Wines that I recommend can usually be found locally, although I may occasionally suggest exceptional wines that must be purchased online.

Salute!

Beckmen Vineyards Cuvee Le Beck: A perennial favorite of mine from Santa Barbara County, this wine is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Counoise. Filled with flavors of red and black fruit, pepper and sweet baking spices, this blend possesses silky smooth tannins and brings great value for an under $30. (available at Plaza Liquors.)
