*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Gallo Family Wines As you might be able to tell, I’m a tad behind on reviewing wines. If you follow the wine blogosphere, you will see that most other wine bloggers reviewed this wine in August or there about. So I’m tardy to the party, but [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Macari Vineyards. I imagine this wine will pretty much sell out in the blink of an eye. As well it should, it’s a fantastic little summer Rosé. The 2008 Macari Rosé is a blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Pinot Noir, [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Wines of Chile in order to participate in the live webcast tasting. And finally, we come to the last of the Chilean wines from the evening of the webcast. I must admit, I was done after this one. I’m not sure why [...]
