*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Wines of Germany. I do so love Rieslings. For some reason, I don’t drink that many though, probably due to my undying affection for California wines…you don’t find too much Riesling being grown in California, though there is a little bit. So [...]

I normally don’t retaste and rereview wines in such short order, but we drank this one over Christmas while visiting my parents and I perhaps didn’t give it all the attention it deserved.

Patrick kindly organized a happy hour while we were visiting for our first night in town at the Healdsburg Bar and Grill. This made me extremely happy as I still couldn’t get their truffle oil parmesan cheese fries off my mind. So GOOD. Matt and I ate two baskets and I got to have the [...]

I know I’ve said this before, but every single time I think of this winery, Lambert the Sheepish Lion, a cartoon from my childhood, pops into my head and I spend the rest of the day singing the Lambert song to myself. Yep, there is goes again, now it will be stuck in my head [...]

Quite a few happenings in the wine blog world these days, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring them to your attention! First, the summary for Wine Blogging Wednesday #56, Fine Kosher Wine, is up over at the Cork Dork. A wide range of Kosher wines made an appearance with a lot of varied [...]
