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 [...]

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! Not that it will stop me from writing about it again, but I do like to bring you some variety. Spring definitely [...]

Two years ago (gosh, time flies) Thea and I spent a day toddling around Napa. One of our stops was at Cakebread Cellars. I’d heard a lot about Cakebread, but had never been there….I tend not to make the effort to go to places you need to make appointments for since I usually am out [...]

*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 [...]

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 [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample in order to participate in a Taste Live Event. I liked this Chardonnay the best of the wines from the Wente Taste Live Event. I know, it’s saying something when Chard is my favorite, as I tend to drift away from Chardonnay many times. However, I really [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Mondavi. I don’t do a lot of blind tasting. However, I’m trying to do a bit more, if for nothing else other than to test my guessing skills. I made Matt go get something from the basement and he handed me a [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Kendall Jackson Wines. Sometimes I taste a wine that I think has a lot of merit and I’d give a good recommendation. Often times I taste one of those wines and wish it were just a few dollars cheaper. While this is still a solid buy, [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Rodney Strong. I’m not a huge Chardonnay person. When I do like them, I tend to pick out the unoaked, stainless steel fermented ones. I’ve had just one to many chewing on a bunch of toothpicks covered in a stick of butter experiences to not be [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Rodney Strong. I enjoyed the Davis Bynum Pinot Noir that I tried 2 weeks ago so much that I quickly jumped back into that box to pull out the other bottle of Davis Bynum wine I had. I’m not really a huge Chardonnay person in general, [...]
