Wine Bargains for Cold Weather Drinking
by Joshua Wesson
January 9, 1999

Joshua Wesson of Best Cellars in New York picks one of these wines when he wants a good-buy bottle for cold weather sipping:

Joseph Phelps - Pastiche: A California version of Côtes du Rhône made by a "Rhône Ranger."

Evans & Tate Shiraz: Syrah, or Shiraz as it's known "down under," is Australia's top grape for fine wine.

Godwin Alexander Valley from Sonoma or Belvedere are good bets if it's a big, oaky Chardonnay you're after.
