I am not an expert, just a discerning wine lover or amateur de vin (as the French say), but everyone has a different palate, likes and dislikes so it must be understood that any of my recommendations are personal. I just hope that you find them useful or at the very least - interesting. I also hope you enjoy my photos. It is more fun sharing then keeping them backed up on a hard drive.

Great value for the money... CdR & White Cali blend

And isn't that what my blog is all about?.. Well, in saying that I backed myself into a corner because sometimes I have trouble finding those wines and fear becoming predictable in my tastes, but however you slice it, these two wines are very appealing and fit the QPR description perfectly...
