Fine sweet red wines

I got a question from Dana (that you can read here) about good sweet wines. First, thank you Dana for your question. This is exactly the objective of this blog; sharing information. I don't pretend that I am an expert but I love wine and I love to share my toughts about it. So, let me suggest you to wines that are under $13 CAN that you will probably like


First, the Domaine des Moulines 2004, Vin de Pays de l'Herault. This Merlot is probably the best in its category. Juicy with a great taste of fresh fruits.




The other one is Domaine du Lys 1004, Vin de pays des Cevennes. 2004 is a very good year for this wine. A point of interest, in 1996, Domaine du Lys became the first french vineyard to be own by Quebec citizens.







Try these and give me your impressions.

   

Brouilly, Georges Duboeuf

This is my wife's favorite wine. If I want to please her, I just have to buy her a Brouilly from Georges Duboeuf. Not that this wine is exceptional but it is just that it brings her good memories ;-)

This Beaujolais is, in fact, very good. Made all of Gamay, it has a generous aroma of red fruits and plum. And Georges Duboeuf produces, in my opinion, the best wine of this appellation. Not an everyday wine because its price is a little bit higher (around $20 CAN) but once in a while it is well worth it.
