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, [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Michel Schlumberger. 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 [...]
