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, especially [...]

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 wary [...]

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, though [...]

That sounds a tad ominous, huh? I try to approximately drink wine samples as they come in the door. At times I fail miserably…you’ve all seen my basement and its lack of organization. While I file and log all the wine I buy, I leave [...]

Some days I start to think about what wine we’re going to drink that night early in the day. This was one of those days. We were having Tilapia with bread crumbs and I usually go straight for a Sauvignon Blanc. However, the folks from [...]

Favorite note for this wine may actually make my list of the best tasting notes I’ve written: The wine tastes like lemonade with chalky stones crushed in. I think this was the 2nd [...]

I have been listening to the call of white wine, despite unusually cold spring temperatures here. No idea what’s going on with the weather this year, but if we jump from cold to hellishly hot muggy swamp without a nice spring period, I think I’ll cry. Big crocodile tears. We usually only get maybe 2 [...]

I decided to serve a creamy chicken casserole the other night and thought rather than go in stark contrast and try to cut the cream by serving my usual Sauvignon Blanc, that I’d instead try to marry the flavors and serve a Chardonnay. My choice also became inspired by the fact that we really only [...]

The offending wine? The 2007 Evolución Chardonnay from Chile.
WHY OH WHY would you make a wine like this?
Tastes like scorched lemons diced with oak chips all wrapped up in a tub of butter. Even at $8.44 (the sale price on the internet, down from $19….) this is a do not buy. Plastic cork, 13% alcohol, [...]
