*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the importer. A few weeks ago, the folks at Pasternak Imports sent me a box of Sancerre to try for the summer months. Since the summer keeps going and going and going in DC, we’ve been enjoying them and will continue to do so in the [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the winery. I seem to have misplaced my photos for this wine. I know I took them, I just can’t find them. If they reappear, I’ll put them up…I do have 3 cameras, so it’s possible they are on one I haven’t cleaned out in a [...]

Every Good Steak
Posted on August 23, 2010 by Sonadora
*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Jordan Winery. Deserves a lovely bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to complement it. And as we happened to have some perfectly delightful cuts of meat to grill up the other night, I decided to dig into a box sent to me from Jordan Winery, knowing I’d find [...]

Last Nautilus
Posted on August 20, 2010 by Sonadora
*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample in order to participate in a Taste Live event. In the summer, if I’m going to drink a red wine, it’s either going to be a red on the lighter end of the spectrum or a giant Zin to go with my BBQ. We haven’t been doing [...]

Happy Anniversary Matt!
Posted on August 18, 2010 by Sonadora
Four years ago today! I can’t believe how fast four years has gone by…or really the fact that we’re approaching 10 years of knowing each other. Thankfully our wedding day was a lot nicer than today’s rain and icky weather, but I’m sure we’ll still enjoy a lovely dinner out tonight! Here’s to many more [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample in order to participate in a Taste Live event. A few weeks (maybe more, I’m a little behind on my posts with all the travel I’ve been doing) ago I participated in a Taste Live event with Nautilus wines. I love Taste Live events, it’s tons of [...]

Bargain Summer White

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample in order to participate in a Wines of Chile online tasting. In what might have been my favorite wines of Chile tasting yet, a box of Sauvignon Blanc arrived at my doors. What a way to my heart, I love Sauvignon Blanc all the time, but especially [...]

Swimming in White Wine
Posted on August 11, 2010 by Sonadora
*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Terlato Wine Group. Sorry for the radio silence for the last week or so. I was traveling to Philly and San Francisco for work and thought I’d have some internet access other than through my phone, but technological difficulties got in my way. Back on the [...]

Older Wines
Posted on August 4, 2010 by Sonadora
Perhaps 18 months or so ago I had a thought: For my 30th birthday, I wanted to serve wines from my birth year. But where to get 30 year old wine? Certainly not something I could easily procure from a local wine shop. Good thing the internet answers all questions and brought me to Wine [...]
