Five of the Best Wines You’ve Never Heard Of

Wall Street Journal features Edoardo Miroglio Soli Pinot Noir 2011

Will Lyons appeared with an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal about the Edoardo Miroglio Soli Pinot Noir 2011. OK, we’ve all heard of Pinot Noir, but grown in Bulgaria? Those who were regularly buying value wine in the 1970s may have picked up a bottle of Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon, but Pinot? “It's actually really rather good for the money,” Lyons wrote. “Edoardo Miroglio's wine is fresh with pretty red fruit that really wouldn't look out of place in a lineup of entry-level Burgundy,” Lyons wrote.

We point your attention to its tasting notes below:
