Last night I reviewed the 337 cabernet sauvignon and tonight I thought I’d give props to his sister, 446 chardonnay. It’s another part of the Noble Vines lineup. This wine is named after a combination of the vine clone and the block where it’s grown. The vine, clone 4, is also called the “Martini clone” […]

I was talking to some millennial wine lovers the other day and one commented to me that he just loves a good Californian cabernet sauvignon, but he doesn’t want to spend a lot on it. While there are plenty of overpriced Californian cabernets to be found, there are also some great bargains out there. This […]

One of the things I look for in a wine brand is consistency. I expect there will be some minor variations in a wine from one vintage to the next, but when a producer puts out a wine of similar quality vintage after vintage I know what to expect. And when that wine is consistently […]

My virtual tour of Greek wines continues with a “visit” to the southern slopes of Mt. Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece, via a taste of Tsantali Rapsani. This wine is made from a blend of indigenous Greek grape varieties: Xinomavro, Krassato and Stavroto. Wine Geek Info: The wine was aged in small French oak barrels […]

Yesterday I was raving about a Greek wine, but it happened to be one that had limited production and may be difficult for many readers to find. Here’s another red from the same producer that should be a little easier to find, although Greek wines in general don’t get a lot of shelf space in […]

This review is one that is frustrating me. To begin with, this wine is phenomenal! So what’s the problem? Availability. I received this bottle as a media sample and after looking for it in some local wine shops and online I’ve had no luck in finding a source for it. I’m sure it’s out there […]

How have you been fairing with all the heat we’ve had lately? It’s been miserable out there and you might say it’s not been good wine drinking weather. Well, that depends on what wine you’re talking about. Some wines just don’t hit the spot on a hot summer day. But others are just right. I […]

About a month ago, I was standing in the security line at the Seattle-Tacoma airport. I handed the TSA agent my ID and my ticket to Kelowna, British Columbia. He looked at it and chuckled, then said “while you’re up there, you should really try some of the wine. It’s fantastic! I go skiing up […]

Waterstone Carneros Pinot Noir

One thing to look for in a pinot noir is one that comes from a “cool climate” region. The Los Carneros AVA in California is one such region. Carneros is north of the San Pablo Bay and includes part of both Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley. The producers of this wine, Waterstone Winery, don’t own […]

I was complaining just a couple weeks ago about the long names that appear on German wines and I think I just found a longer one. Wow. The name of this wine is a mouthful. But then a mouthful of this wine is a very good thing. There was a time when I fell into […]
