Last week I did a write-up on the Mionetto Prestige Collection Prosecco and commented about how I’ve been coming across more and more of their wines lately. This is another Prosecco from their “IL” line and is also quite tasty. I love what Mionetto is doing with the packaging on their IL line sparklers. Rather than a […]

I’ve been coming across a number of different sparklers from Mionetto lately. They seem to be doing a marketing push and I’m seeing them everywhere. And after tasting some of their bubbly, I had to share this one with you. Prosecco is the focus at Mionetto, and they don’t just produce one. In the category of […]

Reichsgraf Von Kesselstatt RK Riesling — Zingfully Good

As you may have noticed, wine PR folks like to come up with various events to get folks talking about (and more importantly, drinking) their wines. One trend I’ve noticed in this camp is the (fill in the blank) wine day. You know, International Tempranillo Day, International Merlot Day, International Cabernet Sauvignon Day, Malbec World […]

Hey Mambo Dry Rosé – Crisp and Refreshing

If you’re a regular reader here you probably already know that I’m a fan of dry rosé wines (among a number of other wine styles). OK, I’m a fan of pretty much all kinds of wine. But I think rosé is often overlooked, yet it can be a fun, enjoyable wine with character. And this […]

Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon – Not Cheap, But Amazing!

Although my primary focus on this website is inexpensive wines (it’s in the name of the site after all), I sometimes have an opportunity to taste wines that don’t fit in the “cheap” categorization. And every now and then I think all wine lover’s should taste the “good stuff.” After all, these are the wines that […]

Apothic Red – Popular for a Reason

I’ve written about previous vintages of Apothic Red and it’s a consistently popular wine among everyday wine drinkers. I’ve had a few folks ask me about the recent vintage lately, so I thought I’d revisit this one with the 2012 vintage. This wine is a fruit bomb. The aromatics are filled with strawberry, raspberry, plum and […]

Handcraft, Artist Collection, Cabernet Sauvignon – Like Cherries & Chocolate

A few weeks ago I wrote about the Handcraft Inspiration Red, a tasty little red blend. So I thought I’d check out another wine from the Handcraft family, their cabernet sauvignon. I come across a lot of people who love cabernet sauvignon and for many it is their “go to” red wine. Like many wines, it […]

Wolfgang Puck Master Lot Reserve Red Blend

I’ll admit it. When I first saw this wine, I didn’t have high expectations. After all, Wolfgang Puck isn’t known for wine, he’s a restauranteur — and a master at leveraging his personal brand to sell stuff. And while I’m sure he’s a talented chef (after all he had to have some credibility to build […]

Bolla Extra Dry Prosecco – A Bubbly Bargain

In my last review, I revisited a wine brand that used to be a regular for me (back when I was in my twenties), Bolla. It’s a brand that offers plenty of decent wines at bargain prices, but for whatever reason it’s also a brand that I haven’t given a lot of love in the […]

Bolla Creso – Powerfully Delicious

In my early days of wine discovery, Bolla was one of my “go to” brands. I was young and didn’t have a big wine budget, and Bolla offered some wines that were good for a bargain hunter like me. And while I don’t drink Bolla very often these days, I still have a nostalgic appreciation […]
