Tonight it’s time for a double-header review from one of my favorite new small winery discoveries, SPELLwine. Both wines are red blends from Napa Valley, both are super tasty and both have crazy-fun labels. The woman behind this wine, Kristen Spelletich, told me that she only sells her wine through retail and direct. She said […]

One of the things that makes wine such a fun beverage (besides the obvious) is the vast variety of option out there. It’s always fun to try something new, or as in this case, try a varietal you’ve tasted before vinified in a totally different way. Carmenere is the lost grape of Bordeaux that was […]

More rosé. Yay! This one comes from Rioja, Spain, which is probably the most well-known Spanish wine region in the US. It’s a region that lies at the confluence of the Pacific, Mediterranean and continental climate influences in Spain. The wine from El Coto is made from 50% Garnacha from an estate named “Los Almendros” […]

We’ve been reviewing a lot of sparkling rosé wines lately, but rosé can also be a great wine in still form. This one from Calcu comes from the Colchagua Valley in Chile, one of my favorite wine regions when it comes to finding great values. If you closed your eyes and smelled this wine you […]

All of the sparkling rosé wines we’ve reviewed recently have been on the dry side. Brut, to be precise. But not every bubbly wine drinker is into the dry wines, so let’s check out one that’s off dry (i.e. slightly sweet). The Martini Sparkling Rosé is an Italian sparkler made from a blend of brachetto, malvasia […]

It’s time to put a little twist into these sparkling rosé wines we’ve been reviewing lately. So, you’re probably familiar with malbec and know it to be a tasty, full red wine with deep, inky-dark color. Would you believe that you can get a sparkling rosé wine out of it? Well, not only can you […]

Yet again, we’re tasting some pink, bubbly wine. And again it’s a brut rosé Cava. If you love sparkling wine, but haven’t discovered Cava yet, you’re missing out on some awesome bargains. Cava is Spain’s version of Champagne. Of course, Champagne being not just a generic name for sparkling wine but being a sparkling wine […]

We’ve been reviewing some rosé wines lately, and more specifically we’ve tasted a number of sparkling rosé wines. So, let’s continue that theme with another rosé cava that’s an absolute bargain. Segura Viudas Brut Rosé is made from 90% Trepat and 10% Garnacha. The grapes come from an estate in Torrelavit, Alt Penedès in Spain. I’d say […]

It’s time to talk about more pink bubbly stuff. Wine, that is. Cava, to be more specific. Yesterday, we highlighted a unique rosé cava from Freixenet, their Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut. But if you’re looking for an even better bargain, then it may be the Freixenet Cordon Rosado Brut that piques your interest. It’s a […]

Freixenet is a pretty big name in the bubbly wine aisle as they are a pretty reliable brand for tasty-yet-affordable sparkling wines. They are known for their cava, which in simple terms is Spanish sparkling wine made in the traditional champenoise method… yes, there are more specifics to cava, but let’s keep it simple for […]
