Pennywise Chardonnay – Fantastic

Anyone who’s been a reader here for long knows that I’m not a huge chardonnay fan. As a result, I’m probably unfairly harsh when evaluating a chardonnay. And so, when I find one that I like I have to give it respect. This is one of those cases. This one is produced by The Other Guys […]

Wait, what!?!? A sparkling blue wine? That can’t be wine, can it? It must be horrible. Did they add food dye? Who buys this stuff? I wonder if it’s any good? Is it totally sweet? Is this a joke? Am I a fool for wanting to review this? Those are some of the thoughts that […]

I’ve been coming across more and more wines from The Other Guys brands lately. Leese-Fitch is one of those brands. While the family behind The Other Guys has a long history in the wine business, the company as it exists now really only goes back to 2009 — so they’re still in their infancy and […]

Trivento Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – Great value

The grand majority of Argentine red wines I’ve consumed have been malbec and somtimes bonarda. I was happy to try something different from Argentina — even if a cabernet sauvignon is not all that “different” of a wine. A little bit of a side note before I continue about the wine… Every time I drink any […]

In norther Italy, just south of Austria, lies a wine-growing region called Alto Adige — which I consider one of the best regions in the world for pinot grigio and pinot bianco (but that’s not the extent of the good wines to come from this region). It’s also one of the most beautiful places on earth. It’s […]

This wine makes me a fan of Chilean cabernet sauvignon again. A number of years ago I was nuts over Chilean cabernet sauvignon, but then I started to avoid it after encountering a number of them with a funky mint aroma that was distracting. A slight mint aroma can be a good thing, but too often […]

Chilean Wine

Viña Casablanca, Nimbus Single Vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc

When it comes to sauvignon blanc, I have two top regions I gravitate towards, New Zealand and Chile. And even more specifically pertaining to Chilean sauvignon blanc, I love them from the Casablanca Valley. Historically, the reason I’ve had this preference is the intense tropical fruit aromas and flavors that are often found in sauvignon […]

Nik Weis Selection Urban Riesling – A Tasty Bargain

In my book, summertime = riesling time. Of course that doesn’t prevent me from drinking riesling at other times of the year, but it seems to hit the spot even more in the summer. The cool, crisp flavors along with the citrus, floral and wet stone aromas are perfect for cooling down on a hot […]

Gunderloch, Jean Baptiste, Riesling Kabinett – Wonderful!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when it comes to riesling I’ve heard a number of wine drinkers proclaim they don’t like riesling, but I assert they just haven’t had the right riesling. There’s a huge misconception in the US that riesling is just an overly sweet, clumsy wine. But there is plenty […]

L’Escoudouliere Lirac, Intense and Delicious

For ages I’ve found the wines from the Rhone region in southern France to be some of the greatest wines (and often some of the greatest values) to be found. Rhone is one of my “go to” regions when selecting a wine that I feel will highly likely be delicious and go well with food. […]
