Well, not really, but close. Actually, David Coffaro does make another blend that might as well be called the kitchen sink since it contains a little bit of every wine they produce. This one, on the other hand, is a field blend, the 2007 David Coffaro Block 4. David Coffaro has some of those cool [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample to participate in a Taste Live Event. Yikes. Sometimes I find these reviews of wines I drank a month or two ago and think, eek, why did it take me so long to publish this?? In early March? or late February? I participated in the Patz and [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample form J. Keverson Winery. It’s BBQ season. I’m pretending that it hasn’t rained this last week and we are out every night grilling. I love grilling season because Matt likes to grill, which means I don’t have to cook as much, and grilling is super easy since [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Gallo Family Wineries. I’ve had a few Pinot Noirs from New Zealand. Mostly at a Wines of New Zealand tasting I went to last Spring where there were dozens to taste. I think this is the first time I’ve actually sat down with a a bottle [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Quivira Winery. Though I am a member of their wine club as well. Quite some time ago I wrote about the Quivira Sauvignon Blanc Complete, which is their barrel aged Sauvignon Blanc. I commented that while it also had its merits, I preferred the other, non-oaked [...]

I direct you to this post over at Vinography. I read about this House Bill yesterday and nearly cried. If you at all value the ability to order wine from retailers/wineries outside your state, I urge you to call/write your Congressional Representative immediately. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE CHILDREN, IT’S SIMPLY ABOUT SUPPORTING AN ANTIQUATED [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample in order to participate in a Taste Live event. I am often the queen on being unable to resist corny titles/jokes. So when the opportunity presents itself, I can’t help myself. A few weeks (months??) I’ve lost all track of time at this point, ago I joined [...]

We bought this wine so long ago. It had to be in 2006. It might have even been on our honeymoon. I don’t recall what I paid for it then, and I didn’t write it down anywhere. Looks like the 2006 is retailing for around $24, so I’m going to guess that’s about what I [...]

Home again home again. After a (too short, as always) trip to the Sonoma area, the Wannabe Winos return home. Until the last day we had absolutely perfect weather and visited some great wineries. We also ate like kings and visited with many friends. Coming up in the next few weeks I have plenty of [...]
