I recently tasted some relatively inexpensive Bordeaux wines at the Bordeaux Under One Roof tasting in New York City. There were many standout wines from Bordeaux for fair value.

This wine first caught my attention for its name and not for any fancy attention getting label design. You will note that  there are no pictures of red sox on the bottle. The label is plain and to the point.

2008 Chateau Boston from the AOC of Margaux, Bordeaux has a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. This 2008 was ready to drink and is delicious. At a SRP of $34 this is a fair deal.
