*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Quivira Winery I seem to be on a bit of a Grenache kick lately. Who can blame me though, Grenache makes some lovely wines! I found this bottle lurking on my shelves and decided to give it a go. I’m also a club member at Quivira, [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Tapeña. Fruity and light. That’s pretty much what I look for in a red wine as the temperature creeps up to the high 90s. Unless I’m inside where we keep the AC running. In which case, it feels like winter and I’ll [...]
I’ve been diving back into my own wines lately. You would too if you saw the state my basement is in. It’s actually quite frightening as there are boxes everywhere, wine spilling out of them, and absolutely no room on the racks, even though I just bought another 112 bottle storage rack. So this evening [...]

Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Hahn Family Wines. Rejoice! Wine Blogging Wednesday is back! I missed it so. Though, admittedly, I totally missed the first reincarnation last month…having average about 4 hours of sleep a night and dealing with a fussy newborn, wine was not much happening! But I’m in for [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the winery. Produced by Hope Family Wine, the Westside Red Troublemaker is a blend of three vintages of wine, the 2007, 2008, and 2009. On first sniff I said “Syrah!,” and later upon examining the promotional materials that accompanied the wine I found that it is [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Hahn Family Wines Grenache is one of those grapes I wish people would pay more attention to, as it makes some wonderfully aromatic wines that I just adore. I know it’s scary to try new things but I urge everyone to go out this year and [...]

Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from F. Wildman. Strike that. This wine is not a typical GSM blend. It’s missing the M, the Mourvedre. The 2007 Paul Jaboulet Aine Parallele 45 from the Cotes du Rhone is 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. It had a real cork closure, clocked in at 14% [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Cornerstone Cellars. I am digging the new line of wines from Cornerstone Cellars. They are reasonably priced and the varieties are interesting and fresh. Not to mention, the wines are really good. I’ve always enjoyed the flagstone (Cornerstone..teehee) Cabernet Sauvignons from the winery, so I’m pleased [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Roberts Fine Wines. I felt like something jut a bit different the other night, so I pulled the 2006 Domaine La Combe Blanche Minervois La Liviniere La Chandeliere from a sample box. An online store, Roberts Fine Wines sent me a couple of bottles from their [...]

Not too long ago, as a Twisted Few member, I received an email advertising a 50% sale on Twisted Oak’s 2005 Grenache. Being that I love wine, Twisted Oak, and Grenache, it seemed a no-brainer. A case arrived on my doorstep a week or so later, adding to the bazillion bottles of wine already in [...]
