*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Cornerstone Cellars. Today turned out to be a gorgeous day in the nation’s capital, so it seemed a perfect time to bust out some Rose. I plucked the 2010 Cornerstone Stepping Stone Corallina Rose from it’s resting place in the basement to join us on the [...]

Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Hahn Family Wines. Rejoice! Wine Blogging Wednesday is back! I missed it so. Though, admittedly, I totally missed the first reincarnation last month…having average about 4 hours of sleep a night and dealing with a fussy newborn, wine was not much happening! But I’m in for [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Gallo Family Wines As you might be able to tell, I’m a tad behind on reviewing wines. If you follow the wine blogosphere, you will see that most other wine bloggers reviewed this wine in August or there about. So I’m tardy to the party, but [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the winery. Produced by Hope Family Wine, the Westside Red Troublemaker is a blend of three vintages of wine, the 2007, 2008, and 2009. On first sniff I said “Syrah!,” and later upon examining the promotional materials that accompanied the wine I found that it is [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Cornerstone Cellars. What better way to celebrate the winter than with a nice hearty red? I can’t really think of one. Especially when it’s Syrah. I love Syrah. And I really enjoy finding new ones to savor, which is exactly what I got in this bottle [...]

Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from F. Wildman. Strike that. This wine is not a typical GSM blend. It’s missing the M, the Mourvedre. The 2007 Paul Jaboulet Aine Parallele 45 from the Cotes du Rhone is 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. It had a real cork closure, clocked in at 14% [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample in order to participate in a Taste Live event. I am often the queen on being unable to resist corny titles/jokes. So when the opportunity presents itself, I can’t help myself. A few weeks (months??) I’ve lost all track of time at this point, ago I joined [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from L’Ecole. As some of you may know, this year’s North American Wine Blogger Conference is in Walla Walla, Washington. I’m still working out the details to see if it will be a possibility for me to attend this time, but in the meantime, I’m trying out [...]

*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 [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Verge Wine Cellars. Of what? Of fantabulous wines. Oh yes, fantabulous. I first tried a wine from Verge at the Twitter Taste Live at Estate in Sonoma. Though, given that I love the wines of Michel Schlumberger and Jay works there, it was not a giant [...]
