*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Jordan Winery. Deserves a lovely bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to complement it. And as we happened to have some perfectly delightful cuts of meat to grill up the other night, I decided to dig into a box sent to me from Jordan Winery, knowing I’d find [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample in order to participate in a Taste Live event. In the summer, if I’m going to drink a red wine, it’s either going to be a red on the lighter end of the spectrum or a giant Zin to go with my BBQ. We haven’t been doing [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks representing the brand. I tried out the Wily Jack Zinfandel a couple months ago and found myself pretty impressed with the fella. For the around $8 price tag, I thought the wine really delivered for a Tuesday night wine or a party wine. [...]

I wrote last week about how all my thoughts turn to white wines during the DC spummall. That’s not totally true. My thoughts also encompass grilling out and bbq and all those good things. Usually to go with that kind of food, you’ll still find me reaching (as fast as I can!) for a nice [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Pasternak Wine Imports This wine has it all for $8. I don’t drink much Malbec from Argentina. I often find them to be just a bit too brash and wild for my taste. However, this Malbec had everything I like about Malbec and a great price [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from L’Ecole Winery. As my fellow wine bloggers jet off to Walla Walla, Washington this week for the 2010 Wine Blogger Conference, I’ve decided to toast them with another wine from Walla Walla! This is the first time I’ve missed the blogger conference, much to my dismay, [...]

Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from L’Ecole. In preparation for the Wine Blogger Conference 2010 being held in Walla Walla, WA (which I will not be attending this year, sob!) several Washington State wineries sent out samples to bloggers for a “tour of Washington wine.” I hadn’t previously had much wine from [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the folks at Lange Twins Winery. “You got your cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born, you’re never gonna see no unicorn…” Under $20 Pinot Noir that actually tastes like Pinot Noir is sort of like the wine world’s unicorn. It’s mythical, lots [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Rocca Family Vineyards. There’s a remainder of a really bad song in there, but for my sanity and yours I’m going to refrain from continuing with the lyrics so I don’t have it stuck n my head all day long. Mixed in [...]

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 [...]
