*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 [...]

*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 [...]

*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 [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the winery. Not too long ago I reviewed the 2008 version of this wine. Then, poof, the other day the 2009 arrived on my doorstep. It’s like magic. My opinion of it remains much the same, a fun fruity wine on the cheap that’s great for [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the winery. Nothing quite like a glass of nicely chilled Rosé in the summer. Not only does it play well with BBQ (my favorite summer-time treat) but it’s refreshing and I can drink it outside in the heat whereas red wine in the summer is best [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks representing the brand. I tried out the Wily Jack Zinfandel a couple months ago and found myself pretty impressed with the fella. For the around $8 price tag, I thought the wine really delivered for a Tuesday night wine or a party wine. [...]

I wrote last week about how all my thoughts turn to white wines during the DC spummall. That’s not totally true. My thoughts also encompass grilling out and bbq and all those good things. Usually to go with that kind of food, you’ll still find me reaching (as fast as I can!) for a nice [...]

*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 [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Rocca Family Vineyards. There’s a remainder of a really bad song in there, but for my sanity and yours I’m going to refrain from continuing with the lyrics so I don’t have it stuck n my head all day long. Mixed in [...]

Despite what it sometimes may look like here, I actually do buy a lot of wine. In the last year or so I haven’t been drinking as much of my own wine given the number of samples that show up at my door. However, rest assured that the Wannabe Wino Cellar is growing at an [...]
