I have had the privilege throughout my career in recruitment of working with some of the best people that are in that line of business that I am also humbled to be able to call friends of mine. I had lunch with a former boss the other day who is aware that I am studying wine in an effort to eventually leave this wonderful world that is IT recruitment and he asked a question that got my wheels turning.
He asked what the best $12 bottle of wine was out there. Now, that's a bit of a loaded question, mostly because there are endless bottles of wine everywhere, in different stores, different states, different countries...the possibilities are literally limitless, so it's tough for me to give an accurate or even educated answer to that question.
The Duckhorn Wine Company out of the Anderson Valley in California turns out some of the best wines to ever be drank in my opinion and are also highly accessible. There are several wines that are produced by Duckhorn, but the Merlot according to my counterpart Dave is like velvet in a glass (I have yet to sample it).
They produce a less expenses line of their varietals called Decoy (look for it in your local liquor store)..it's not $12 but it's pretty close to that and the 2009 Pinot Noir will knock your socks off, I guarantee it.
Go get yourself some, light a fire and thank me when you swallow your first sip BQ.
Cheers,
Dave and Tricia
