I have purchased it many many many times for myself and recommend it frequently to anyone looking for a moderately priced sparkling wine. I’m fairly certain I’ve written about it before, but it bears another mention, just in [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Luna Vineyards I honestly would have said that it was a Sauvignon Blanc. And that’s not a bad thing in my humble opinion.

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Sean Minor Wines The current vintage of this wine is a 2009. Somehow this 2007 got a little lost in my basement. But that’s okay, we still enjoyed it! Especially since it’s a Pinot that retails for under $15 and stays true to the Pinot Noir [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Rodney Strong in order to participate in a Taste Live Event. I hadn’t done a Twitter live tasting event in quite some time. I really enjoy tasting the same wines with my blogger friends all over the country so I was happy to have a chance [...]
