Rerun Review

I reviewed this same wine nearly 2 years ago and at the time said I’d try to hang onto it for a few years to see what it would do.  Wow, if my notes from two years ago are accurate, this is now a totally different and aged wine. I loved it before and I...

Merlot I’ve Missed You

I’ve been focusing on white wines and Rosés this summer and neglecting red wines. Tends to happen to me as the weather creeps up in temperature!  Now, I’m not sure how I should disclose about this wine…it’s not really a sample since it came in the conference bag of a conference I paid to attend…hear...

Repeat to the 4th Power

I truly love this wine. I do. You can read my reviews here of the 2004, 2005, and 2006.  I also selected the 2006 to put in the blogger pack I developed for Domaine 547.  I liked it so much that I devoted 1/4 of the case of wine I get from Mauritson each year...

Don’t Give This Pinot Grigio the Fish Eye

I like to think I'm not a wine snob, but I have to admit that I do look askance at 1.5ml bottles and 3li boxes of wine. And I don't buy much wine in that kind of large format size, either....

WBW #60: I Have Zinned

Welcome to Wine Blogging Wednesday #60! This month I am hosting the 5th birthday of WBW, and I set the theme to “I Have Zinned.”  You can read all the original details here, but the short and sweet version is that I asked you to pick a Zinfandel and make some BBQ or grill some...

Generally I Can’t Stand Yogurt, and I’m Not Big on Fruit & Berries Either …

… but blueberries and cherries are good for warding off the accumulation of uric acid that can lead to a gout episode (sorry to be clinical) and yogurt, well, yogurt is good for something, in fact, LL asserts that “yogurt is totally good for everything!” so in the interest of good health — I also...

Summer Break – So what did we drink when not in Iberia?

Summer is here, and Spain for all intensive purposes, is closed. Walk down any of the myriad of residential streets of Barcelona, or Madrid, and you might think that the swine flu had a more ...

Birthday Bubbly

Okay, so it was a day early…but every girl deserves some bubbly on or around her birthday! I knew we were pulling out a bunch of Zins for my birthday bbq dinner and I didn’t want to miss out on the bubbly, thus we opened it a day early. I pluck one of my favorites...

The Cats Go Marching Two By Two Hurrah Hurrah

I (and others I’m sure) often refer to getting bloggers to do the same thing at the same time as herding cats. It’s difficult and often pointless. With that in mind, as Jefe tried to herd us on our whirlwind tour of downtown Murphys, the occasional “Meow” could be heard escaping from various wine blog...

I Bought This For Thea

And she insisted on opening it as soon as I gave it to her! There’s no keeping Thea from her Pinot Noir! Earlier in the day Russ and I stopped by Rick’s Wine Cellar in Corte Madera for some post hike sustenance and drink.  We got to meet Rick and enjoyed some lovely flights of...
