Despite what it sometimes may look like here, I actually do buy a lot of wine. In the last year or so I haven’t been drinking as much of my own wine given the number of samples that show up at my door. However, rest assured that the Wannabe Wino Cellar is growing at an [...]

*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 [...]

Some wines I tasted at dinner/the Grand Sonoma tasting at the Wine Blogger Conference this summer. I thought it worth telling you about them since I took the time to take notes and many are worth your time to hunt down! Sadly, I didn’t get to taste very many wines at the Sonoma Grand Tasting. [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Michel Schlumberger. We’ve been drinking our way through Michel Schlumberger’s second label, Petanque. Tonight I grabbed the 2007 Petanque Sauvignon Blanc to drink with the grilled Cod I made. The Petanque line is designed to be easy drinking backyard wines to enjoy with friends over a [...]

I must sound like a broken record with this wine. Here’s the review of the 2007. And the 2006. But really, it is my absolutely favorite Michel Schlumberger wine year to year. Of course….I don’t drink the Cabernet Sauvignon in my club shipments because I’m gathering a 10 year vertical to serve….well, it will have [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Michel Schlumberger. Michel Schlumberger recently released a new second label called Petanque. Petanque is a French game that I sorta equate with Bocce. A little different I guess, but I’m not quite so sure since I’ve never played! But the idea behind the line is that [...]

My folks were in town this weekend, and while waiting to pick up Matt at the Metro, my Dad and I decided we wanted a glass of wine (who could blame us, we were going to be waiting for 3 hours before he’d need a ride! and it was a Friday afternoon!). After hunting around [...]

Back in September, Thea, Brittany, and I spent the better part of the day at Michel Schlumberger with Judd. We really could have spent the rest of the day tasting the delicious Michel Schlumberger wines and just chatting with Judd, but the call of bacon at Bovolo proved too strong. Its siren song lured us [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine from Michel Schlumberger as a sample to participate in the BinEndsWine Twitter Taste Line. As you all probably know, I had the pleasure of co-hosting the most recent Twitter Taste Live with Michel Schlumberger and BinEndsWine in September. We had a great line up of wines for the evening, with [...]

I just had the chance to stop by Michel Schlumberger on Thursday (more about that later) to pick up the wines [...]
