The inventory of wines from Portugal is not overly abundant in Tucson, a pity in that the reds are just gaining international exposure for their high quality. Be that as it may, that doesn’t have to limit your choices. I have said this before and will again, if you can’t find what you want here, look to alternative sources whether that be the internet or out of state retailers. In this era, you will be hard pressed not to find what you want. At the end of the list below, I will list some other vintners who produce great wines.

When I began my trek around Tucson, searching for Pinot Noir at various locations, I was prepared not to find much interesting under the $45 mark. To my surprise, pleasantly enough, I discovered a small collection of wines under that threshold and in fact, a few in the $20’s and several in the $30’s.
To simplify the inventory and search process, I have decided to stratify the price levels and offer a condensed list of quality wines both under and above the $45 range. While the list may seem rather lengthy to be considered condensed, it was culled from a much larger inventory of Tucson accessible Pinot Noir. Unless otherwise stated, the prices represent an average of those retailers listed if the differences are small (less than a few dollars). When
there are large pricing discrepancies, I will highlight the pricing of each retailer. Good luck in your search and if you have some alternative Pinot Noir suggestions, by all means share them with us on our Community Forum. Just register, log in and you’re ready to go.

The good news on Zinfandel is that there is a plethora of inventory in Tucson retail outlets. Prices range, on average from a low of around $10 to the $40’s and an occasion one in the $50+ range. To find that truly top Zin, you will need to pay up….at least in the $20’s and often the $30’s-40’s. To read more on what makes a top Zinfandel, see the Zinfandel article in the Wine Education segment.

While there is a plethora of Roses across the city, the quality can be quite variable. Check the vintage year on the bottle carefully. Roses are meant to consume within the first year or so of release. After that, they can lose much of their freshness. For me, this translates into going for the freshest, most recent vintage. If it’s not in stock, ask the retailer if you can order it. Good Luck.

If you are searching for a taste of a red Southern Rhone after digesting the Focus On article penned by Laura Williamson, check out the options below. Be mindful that a retailer’s inventory may vary from time to time and the producer listed here may not always be available. As well, don’t forget the white Rhones. They are a wonderful alternative white with peachy and floral notes. What’s even more attractive is their pricing which often is under the $20 mark. These are wines to be enjoyed near term. Look for producers such as Guigal, St Cosme, Jean-Luc Columbo, Chapoutier, Delas and Perrin & Fils.
VinTabla:
“It's a blend
of five white
Rhone grapes.”
