*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 Quivira Winery Zinfandel, and specifically Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, is really where my journey with red wine began. If you’ve been a long time reader of the wine blog, I’m sure you’ve read where I’ve written about going to Sonoma for the first time on my [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Quivira Winery. Though I am a member of their wine club as well. Quite some time ago I wrote about the Quivira Sauvignon Blanc Complete, which is their barrel aged Sauvignon Blanc. I commented that while it also had its merits, I preferred the other, non-oaked [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Quivira Winery. The Dry Creek Valley that is. Whenever I open a wine from one of the wineries we visited on our honeymoon, it makes me very happy. Especially when that wine is consistently one I love. Quivira has been one of [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Quivira Winery. And I’ve previously reviewed this wine as I’m a club member at Quivira and it arrived in a club shipment 2 years ago. I reviewed this wine a year and a half ago. Honestly, I don’t think my notes could [...]

I reviewed this same wine nearly 2 years ago and at the time said I’d try to hang onto it for a few years to see what it would do. Wow, if my notes from two years ago are accurate, this is now a totally different and aged wine. I loved it before and I [...]

Back when I first joined the Quivira wine club, they made a delightful Sauvignon Blanc that retailed for around $13. It wasn’t oaked, and it was a perfect weekday wine. I wrote a review on it a few months after starting Wannabe Wino Wine Blog. Then, I didn’t get any other Sauvignon Blanc from them [...]

I previously reviewed the 2005 Quivira Grenache here, about a year and a half ago. I absolutely adored it, so when 2 bottles of the 2006 arrived in my latest club shipment I danced for joy! The 2006 Quivira Grenache from Wine Creek Ranch clocks in at 15.9% alcohol by volume, has a real cork [...]

The wine was a 2006 Quivira “Hommage A Ampuis” Syrah. The wine hails from the Dry Creek Valley (please go see Dr. Deb’s excellent rant on the value of multiple varietals from the DCV), clocked in at 14.4% alcohol by volume, and cost me $36 minus a club discount in my club shipment. The notable [...]
