Each Friday we highlight a wine from the Northwest that we think is a real "find." By find we might mean that it's a steal, as all of these wines we'll feature weekly are under $20. We might also mean "Hey, you really need to go find this" and it might be a wine that we feel not enough people know about. In any case, with the weekend pending we're hoping to help you "find" a wine to kickoff the weekend right. We'll tell you a little bit about the wine and try to help you track it down here in the Northwest.
Rules were made to be broken, or at the very least bent and this week, we're going to have to bend our own rules just a bit. Rule bending historically has resulted in some great things. For example the New England Patriots secretly video taped their opponents practices and they won three Super Bowl titles. In the 1986 World Cup Quarter final match, Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona used his hand, well at least partly his hand, and maybe partly God's hand to direct a goal, and his national team past the British team. Wine historically has been fairly bound by tradition, blends commonly still follow those rules, and many times this is done because of that respect for tradition as well as that Rhone varietals blended together tend to make a really nice wine. But when you step outside of those rules, or make your own sometimes the results turn out really nice. When it comes to value priced wines you tend to see this rule bending applied a bit more liberally. What can happen when it's done well is a completely different wine experience.
