I’ve reviewed a couple other wines from Pasqua recently, and one thing I haven’t mentioned is that these wines are brought to us in the US by Bronco Wine Company, the fourth largest wine company in the US. When it comes to bargain wines, the portfolios at Bronco are massive and filled with great deals. […]

In a couple of my recent reviews I’ve featured wines that seem appropriate for springtime, and since springtime is part of anytime that means it’s also a fine time for riesling. This particular riesling, Selbach Riesling Kabinett, comes from the Saar region of Germany — which is part of the Mosel region. The Saar is […]

There’s an old idiom about having “Champagne taste on a a beer budget,” that is to say you like expensive things but you don’t have the money to afford those things. Suffering from this affliction is one of the things that drove me to start Cheap Wine Ratings. I literally have Champagne taste on a […]

My spring rosé reveling continues with a rosé from northern Italy. More specifically, it comes from the Lake Garda vicinity, which is not only a beautiful region but is also home to one of my favorite DOCs, Lugana. But, of course, I have many favorite DOCs. The wine comes from a winery called Pasqua and […]

Lately, spring is springing up more and more each day. That means rosé season is upon us. Imagine yourself sitting outside on a sunny, 70 degree day, relaxing with a slightly chilled glass of rosé and listening to the birds chirp. Now that’s my kind of spring day! I’m kicking off the season with a […]

The last couple reviews I posted, here and here, were of alicante bouschet wines from the Alentejo region of Portugal. I have one more of these wines to share with you all, and this is the best one yet! Herdade de São Miguel is based in Redondo, which is pretty much in the center of […]

Last week I posted my first ever review of an alicante bouschet, and it’s already time to post a second. This one comes from Herdade dos Grous, located in the Lower Alentejo, in Albernôa. They are not only a wine producer but they also have olive groves, vegetable crops, horse breeding and more on their […]

I’ve long been a fan of Portuguese wine. In my opinion, it’s one of the best regions for finding exceptional quality for reasonable prices. Unfortunately, I don’t see very much Portuguese wine in the wine shops where I live, Cincinnati, but when I do see it I scoop it up! This week I have the […]

If you’ve ever been to a major city in Italy the label of this wine may look familiar. You don’t have to go far to find some graffiti. I have mixed feelings about it. Sometimes I see it and say, “Ugh, why do people have to put graffiti everywhere?” But sometimes I come across some […]

Review: Wittmann, 100 Hills, Pinot Blanc

I’ve commented before about how mind blowing it is to me when I come across a European vineyard that has been in the same family for hundreds of years and this is another one of those stories. The wine estate of Weingut Wittmann has been operated by the Wittmann family since 1663. That’s over 350 […]
