As a wine blogger I am constantly asked what my favorite wine is. That’s an impossible question to answer. It’s the equivalent of, “what’s your favorite song?” There are just so many! I suppose the best answer is, “the one that’s in my glass.” I bring that up because as I sat down to write […]

A few weeks back, I did a review of a dry riesling from Nik Weis. Today I’m exploring another Nik Weis riesling from St. Urbans-Hof winery in Mosel, this one is off-dry. Now before your run off saying you don’t like sweet riesling, cool your jets and listen to me for a minute. This is not a […]

This is another wine from my friends over at NakedWines.com, who have provided a special offer for readers of this site to get 12 bottles of wine for $79.99 (shipping included). That link gets you the deal. As someone who has spent years on a quest for good wine deals, I have to say that this deal […]

One of my favorite parts of being a wine blogger is traveling to explore wine regions around the world. It’s not just traveling to beautiful places or the amazing wines I discover on these trips, but it’s the people I meet and the friends I make on these trips that make it truly special. I […]

Have you had those moments when you go to a restaurant, look at the wine list and realize that you don’t know any of the specific wine brands listed? With thousands and thousands of wines on the market, it’s not that uncommon of an occurrence — even for experienced wine lovers with a fairly broad […]

Admittedly, I haven’t been writing about a lot of red wines lately. But I know many of you are red wine fans. You like those rich, bold, dark, spicy red wines. Well, this one is for you. Sometimes it seems impossible to find a great deal on a big, bold California red wine. And by […]

It’s another hot summer day and what’s the perfect wine for that? Riesling, of course! Although riesling is almost always my answer when someone asks, “what’s the perfect wine for ________?” Because riesling is, generally speaking, awesome. Some people say they don’t like riesling. I say those people haven’t tasted the right riesling. If you […]

The name of this one is a mouthful, isn’t it? Well, for us Americans anyway. Herdade do Rocim, Mariana Branco. But to make things easier, you can just call it Mariana. Over the past few months I’ve had an opportunity to review a number of Portuguese wines from the Alentejo region, which is where this […]

I’ve previously written about a few wines from Domaine Bousquet in Argentina and I really like what they’re doing, not just the quality of their product but how they go about producing wine. Their vineyards are at a high altitude with dry, sandy soils. The conditions are ideal for organic production methods and all their […]

When I first launched this site, one of my goals was to track down and highlight the hidden gems of the wine world. By definition, these wines can be difficult to find so I’ve tried to strike a balance between reviewing more widely-available wines and hidden gems. This one may be more difficult to find […]
