WBW #60 Round Up: I Have Zinned

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Sonadora

A hearty thanks to all who busted out some Zin to participate in the 5th birthday of WBW! As you probably gathered by now, I set the theme for this momentous occasion to I Have Zinned. I asked everyone to grab a bottle of Zin and pair it with their favorite grilled or BBQ food.  [...]

Hey, You, Napa Winery, Come Here!

Posted on August 2, 2009 by Sonadora

We’ve all seen the Murphy Goode thing, where the winery interviewed social media folks.  Now it’s your turn to be interviewed.  My friend Karen, the Wine Bard, is looking for you, a good Napa Winery.  She and her betrothed would like to get married on August 18 at your winery (she couldn’t have picked a [...]

Give Me More!

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Sonadora

*Disclaimer: I reeived this wine as a sample from St. Supery Vineyards so I could participate in the St. Supery Twitter Taste Live. Cabernet. Yum. I’ve been really digging Cabernet Sauvignon lately. Really. Which is good, because on the Monday after the Wine Blogger Conference Thea and I will be filled with Cab after a [...]

Crossing Gooses

Posted on July 26, 2009 by Sonadora

We had a busy day out hanging around Napa with Thea. We swung by GooseCross Cellars right after lunch at Judd’s Hill.  Thea hadn’t been in a while, I hadn’t been ever, but we chat with the GooseCross people on Twitter once in a while, so we decided it would be a good stop.  Sadly, [...]

What’s In Your Folio?

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Sonadora

Our very first stop on our last day of our most recent California trip took us to Folio Winemakers.  Now, I was only familiar with Folio through their tweets, but Thea of course had been there many times.  I’m trying to come up with a sentence about Thea getting around that doesn’t sound insulting, but [...]

A Fab Cab

Posted on July 12, 2009 by Sonadora

No formal review today, just a quicky wine suggestion.  On our recent vacation, we stopped overnight in Roanoke, Virginia on our way home in order to break up the 9 hour drive.  We ate at Le Bistro, a fabulous little restaurant in downtown Roanoke, choosing to do the Chef’s Tasting Menu.  One of the wines [...]

St. Supery +TTL = FUN!

Posted on July 11, 2009 by Sonadora

This post is LONG overdue. I had some great momentum coming off my last trip to CA in April, and I got out a bunch of posts from the 5 day trip pretty quickly. Then I petered out.  I’m sorry! I still have several more winery visits to talk about from the trip and I [...]

Heaven in a Glass

Posted on June 23, 2009 by Sonadora

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Hall Wines. I have to admit.  If you saw my rough notes that I took on this wine before I crafted them into this lovely write up (did I ever mention I’m slightly delusional?) you might think a text-crazy teenager wrote them. My notes on this [...]

I Shared My Cornerstone

Posted on June 17, 2009 by Sonadora

I’m a little late with this write up!  On May 30, while Twitter took a nap, winos around the country gathered at the same time for a Cornerstone Cellars Twitter Taste Live. Sadly, we weren’t really able to share our thoughts live since Twitter wouldn’t cooperate, but that’s okay, I’ll tell you about these lovely [...]

Buttered Popcorn

Posted on June 14, 2009 by Sonadora

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Sean Minor Winery. As you may have noticed, this is the third in a series of reviews of the Sean Minor 4 Bears line.  These wines are all intended to be value-priced and oriented, and overall, they deliver quality and typical varietal characteristics for the price [...]
