South near the border of Texas and Mexico in a little town called Eagle Pass.  I went to some store called HEB, and found an interesting red wine that I had not tried before.  Not sure what HEB stands for, but lets just say, don't go after dark.

The wine is called Trio from Concha Y Toto.  It is from the Rapel Valley in Chile.  It's price point is only about $12-13 in Texas, but they think they don't have taxes on anything in this state and everything Texas does is perfect... I don't think those people have ever been to Eagle Pass.  They might want to start charging taxes on all that big hair to make up for things in this town.

This attractive deep purple and generous assemblage constitutes and expressive wine of soft and velvety tannins with intese aromas of black fruits like black plums and blueberry.
 
The blend is 70% Merlot + 15% Carmenere + 15% Cabernet Sauvignon

From the attractive blend of Merlot, Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon, this assemblage of red grapes produces an expressive deep red wine with soft tannins and great structure. It also has dark fruit, chocolate, and tobacco aromas.  See more on the website at www.trioconchaytoro.com.  Try it some evening with some great appetizers or small plates.
