I’d like to start with “Confessions of a Slacker.” I know that I’ve been really bad about post frequency over the past month. Getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday and other going-ons will be my excuse. But the good news is that I’ve still been tasting and taking notes, so I have some new wine […]

Yay! It’s my favorite day of the month: Wine Blogging Wednesday. The host this month is Neil at Brooklyn Guy’s Food and Wine Blog and he has named the theme “Silver” Burgundy. The Burgundy wine that most people think of comes from the Gold Coast (Côte d’Or) and tends to be rather pricey. If you don’t […]

A question many people have this time of year is: Which wine is a good choice to go with the Thanksgiving Turkey? The good news is you have a few choices and can let your own preference guide your final decision. Turkey actually will go with a number of different wines and I would say […]

Cut my nuts off and give me another glass of this wine. I know that’s an odd way to start a post, but that’s about how I feel from drinking this wine. It reminds me of the old commercials for Secret deodorant “strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.” This wine is […]

I was in the wine shop milling about the other day. Basically, I was just exploring to see if anything different would jump off the shelf and surprise me. Then it happened. This Cabernet Sauvignon from Idaho was just sitting there waiting for me. It’s not often that I come across Idahoan wines in Cincinnati, […]

When I was in my late teens I became a vegetarian and followed that diet for many years. I’m a pescatarian now (that means I eat a vegetarian diet + fish). I originally became a vegetarian due to the politics of food more than for any other reason. I grew up in the country and saw fewer […]

The area was first used as a vineyard in 1750, when it was planted by the Echenique family, of Basque origin, and has […]

It’s time to start a new theme on Cheap Wine Ratings and next up is Cabernet Sauvignon. I’m sitting here pondering a clever title for the theme and I’m coming up with nothing. I guess I was up too late last night and burned out my creative juices. I went to the UFC fight in […]

I was almost ready to write up this summary on my Quest for a Good, Cheap Pinot Noir when I noticed that more recent vintages of my top two picks were on the shelves. To be relevant to those shopping now, I had to pick them up to ensure they are worthy of top picks. […]

I’ve been wanting to try some Portuguese wines for some time now and today for Wine Blogging Wednesday #38 the theme is Portuguese Table Wine hosted by Catavino. That gives me the extra motivation I need to stop delaying and try some Portuguese wine! I actually have a sliver of a connection to Portugal as I […]
