I’m super excited about this wine, not only because it tasted good and represented a great deal, but also because it knocked two more grapes off on the Century Club application for us! This wine provided grapes 86 and 87….only 13 more to go!! I purchased the 2007 Chateau la Canorgue Cotes du Luberon Blanc [...]

I thought I had a new grape here. Major disappointment on my part to learn that Monastrell is simply Spanish for Mouvedre, a grape I love and have already tasted many times. So I guess I’ll just have to keep searching for my Century Club application…these last few grapes just aren’t coming quickly! Anyway, I [...]

We are at 83 grapes now in our Century Club quest. I believe this was grape number 82, and we just had grape number 83 this weekend, so look for a post on it soon. I still have 4 more grapes in the basement to try, so that will put us at 87…I think those [...]

Red wine is multiplying and having babies in my basement. We used to have just slightly more red wine than white wine down there….the red lived in 9 wine racks and the white lived in one old wine rack and 7 styrafoam shipper halves. Now, the red wine takes up the original 9 racks, plus [...]

WBW crept up on me again this month. It has a nasty of doing that these days…especially in short months like February. Our host this month is David of McDuff’s Food and Wine Trail. David set us to what seemed like an easy task at the time, drinking any wine, white, red, or otherwise from [...]

Grape number 79 in my quest to reach the Century Club number of 100! Only 21 more to go…and I think I have 5 more new ones to try kicking around my cellar. I’m like the little engine that could…I’ll get there at some point, no rush, slow and steady. It is getting harder and [...]

I chose the 2006 Le Jardin de Charlotte Becky Wasserman & Fils Bourgogne Pinot Noir as the wine for the evening. I purchased this from Domaine547 several months ago for $17.99. It clocked in at 12.5% alcohol by volume and had a Diam closure. On the nose I found vanilla cream, tart berries, leather, cedar, [...]

I picked the Ortman Family Vineyards 2006 Cuvee Eddy as the wine for the evening. I purchased this bottle from Domaine547. It now costs $16.99, originally $21.99, though I can’t remember what I paid for it. I bought it in one of my searches for interesting new wines that Jill helped me with. It clocked [...]

You may be wondering, what exactly is The Great Whatsit? And where does it come from? How did I get it? Well I’ll answer all that for you! The Great Whatsit is a Domain547 selection and this year it is a 2005 Syrah from Santa Ynez Valley. Domaine547 intends to have a Great Whatsit bottled [...]

Matt and I love Michel Schlumberger. So on our most recent CA adventure it was a no brainer to stop by for a 2nd attempt at a tasting when we were out and about with Russ (who I will be hiking with on Wednesday!) and Patrick (who hopefully can join me for lunch on Thursday, [...]
