Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from F. Wildman. Matt seemed in the mood for a Chardonnay the other night. Not terribly common around these parts, but hey, strike while the striking is hot since so many folks send Chardonnay our way, they tend to pile up just a bit. I really need [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from L’Ecole Winery. As my fellow wine bloggers jet off to Walla Walla, Washington this week for the 2010 Wine Blogger Conference, I’ve decided to toast them with another wine from Walla Walla!

Well, that’s not QUITE true, but it’s the last of the bubbles I have that I haven’t written about. I’ve got some nice Roederer tucked away, but I’ve written about the Roederer before!

In preparation for the Wine Blogger Conference 2010 being held in Walla Walla, WA (which I will not be attending this year, sob!) several Washington State wineries sent out samples to bloggers for a “tour of Washington wine.” I hadn’t previously had much wine from [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the folks at Lange Twins Winery. “You got your cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born, you’re never gonna see no unicorn…” Under $20 Pinot Noir that actually tastes like Pinot Noir is sort of like the wine world’s unicorn. It’s mythical, lots [...]

(Sorry for the radio silence the last few days, I went out of town for Memorial Day weekend and didn’t touch a computer the whole time I was gone!) Today is Matt’s birthday! Hope it’s a great day and sorry you have to work! We’re headed to Charlie Palmer’s Steak House for dinner, yum!
