We visited Lambert Bridge Winery in Dry Creek Valley several trips ago. I think perhaps it was in 2007? Maybe even the trip before that. Anyway, because wine seems to have a habit of getting lost in our cellar, this Zinfandel escaped my notice hiding in the corner until this past week. We opened up [...]

Winter turns my mind to dessert wines. Often very sweet and heavy, I don’t tend to drink them at all in the summer/warmer months. Thus, they start to pile up in the basement. We probably have a good 20 or so bottles of dessert wine hanging around, ranging from port-style wines to Ice wines. Also, [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Wily Jack Wines. I get some interesting promotional materials with wines. The most bizarre, by far, arrived with this shipment of Wily Jack Wines. A branding iron. In the shape of Wily Jack. Now, I’m not sure what I’ll do with it, but it’s memorable to [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from J. Keverson Winery. Now, don’t get me wrong, I adore adore adore Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, it is after all my first love, but more and more I’m loving the Zins I get from the Russian River Valley. I love DCV Zins for the punch in [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Gallo Family Wines. I really wish you could use “effects” in the titles of posts. Or maybe you can and I’m just not that technologically advanced (a very good possibility). I wanted to title this post “Brothers Grimm Frei” but alas, you got a rant instead. [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Agent for Change Wines. Last year around the holiday season I brought you a series of 4 posts on wines with a cause. That is, wines whose producers donate part or all of their profits to charity. I’m happy to start up this series again this [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Sobon Estate. Fall is in full swing here in the DC area. Actually, yesterday I thought perhaps winter was coming…it’s too early for that though, give me fall back! There’s nothing I like more when the whether turns crisp and cool than hearty stews, casseroles, and [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from J. Keverson Winery. With all the Argentinian wines around here, I bet you thought I’d gone and forgotten I’d started this wine blog to tell you about the wines from small California wineries that I drink. No fear, I certainly haven’t abandoned my love of small [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Sort This Out Cellars On my weekend of wine disasters, I had two successes…the J. Keverson Zinfandel and the 2007 Sort This Out Cellars Zin City Old Vine Zinfandel Rollers Reserve. Apparently I should have just stuck with Zinfandel all weekend and I wouldn’t have had [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from J. Keverson Wines. This one is too small, this one is too big, this one is just right! After opening 5 bottles of wine and finding none to my liking, I gave up on whites and Rosés and decided a Zinfandel would do the trick. Zin [...]
