Most of the sparkling wine I drink is non vintage. I’m not sure why, other than price…and again, many of the shops near me don’t carry a lot of sparkling wine. What they do have is generally non vintage. My dad and I picked this 2005 Schramsberg Brut Rose up at the Madison Wine Exchange. [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Bin Ends Wine in order to participate in the F. Wildman Twitter Taste Live. Up 5th for the night for the F. Wildman Twitter Taste Live we had the 2008 Paul Jaboulet Aine Parallele 45 Rose from the Cotes du Rhone. I was happy to have [...]

Okay, so it was a day early…but every girl deserves some bubbly on or around her birthday! I knew we were pulling out a bunch of Zins for my birthday bbq dinner and I didn’t want to miss out on the bubbly, thus we opened it a day early. I pluck one of my favorites [...]

I have no idea why, but the bottles from the Garsa line from Solomon Wine Company always make me think of a circus. Perhaps it’s the bright label colors and designs or the pink wine in this bottle, but whatever the case may be, I think circus. We plucked a bottle of the 2006 Garsa [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Artisan Family of Wines “Red red wine you make me feel so fine….You keep me rocking all of the time…” I don’t know why that popped into my head as I wrote this post, but it did. Now it can be stuck in your head too! [...]

*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, [...]

It hasn’t taken us long to jump into the wines we purchased on our most recent CA trip. I’ll attribute this at least partially to the fact that prior to the trip I had maybe 4 bottles of Rosé and 10 bottles of white wine left in the basement. We brought home about a case [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Wines of Chile. Egads, goats! A Rosé sounded like the perfect wine the other night…as it has for about the last week or so and looks to stay in my good graces for the next oh….8ish months as we enter into the [...]
Along with white wines, I love Rosé for the Spring! There’s nothing better than a nice dry chilled Rosé and sitting on our patio watching the hummingbirds play in the trumpet vines. As the weather is finally getting to the few months where it’s not too deadly hot to sit outside, we’ll be drinking a [...]

As the weather warms (hush, 40 degrees is warm in February!) my thoughts have been turning to whites and rosés as I try to hurry in the spring. It’s coming, I swear, my daffodils and irises are poking through the ground and I think I saw my hyacinths coming up as well! So now is [...]
