Coolest Tasting Room Ever

At the very end of the second day of the Wine Blogger Conference, my bus loaded up with the rowdy crowd and we made our way to Conn Creek for dinner.  I’d never heard of Conn Creek before, but honest to Bacchus they have the coolest tasting room ever.  The entire room is lined with [...]

In Defense of a Fence

This post has absolutely nothing to do with wine. At all. Other than the fact that it has me completely preoccupied and as a result I’ve been shirking my wine related duties. Sorry to all who need stuff from me right now, hopefully after this morning I will be able to focus on all the [...]

Don’t Cry for me Argentina

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Bin Ends Wine in order to participate in Twitter Taste Live. You knew I’d have to go for the cheesy title at some point, right? I can’t resist! Especially since this is the fifth Argentinian wine I’ve written up…I’m surprised I held off this long. I [...]

More Torrontes!

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Bin Ends Wine in order to participate in Twitter Taste Live. The Argentinian wines are invading my wine blog! This is the 4th in a series of wines from Argentina that I tasted during Twitter Taste Lives sponsored by the trade group Wines of Argentina.  Next [...]

Lemon Pledge in my Glass

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Bin Ends Wine in order to participate in Twitter Taste Live.

Diving into Argentina

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample form Bin Ends Wine in order to participate in the Twitter Taste Live. For the last month, I’ve spent my Wednesday evenings having an affair with Argentinian wines. The theme for Twitter Taste Live all this month has been wines from Argentina.  In the past I haven’t [...]

Another Grand Tasting

On the second day of the Wine Blogger Conference, we attended a few sessions at various wineries including the one I told you about at Cuvaison. Mid-afternoon we headed to Quintessa for the Napa Grand Tasting. This event happened in the tank room at Quintessa, with wineries lining up between each row of tanks. I [...]

High Rollers

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Sort This Out Cellars On my weekend of wine disasters, I had two successes…the J. Keverson Zinfandel and the 2007 Sort This Out Cellars Zin City Old Vine Zinfandel Rollers Reserve.  Apparently I should have just stuck with Zinfandel all weekend and I wouldn’t have had [...]

Goldilocks Finds Her Wine

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from J. Keverson Wines. This one is too small, this one is too big, this one is just right! After opening 5 bottles of wine and finding none to my liking, I gave up on whites and Rosés and decided a Zinfandel would do the trick. Zin [...]
