A few weeks ago, we reviewed the Montevina Zinfandel. Tonight, we check out their Amador County Cabernet Sauvignon. I’ve already given a quick background on Montevina in the previous review, so let’s be quick about this and get right to the details. The nose of this wine smells like a new leather wallet that’s been […]

Ortega Fournier, better known as O. Fournier, is an international wine group, currently producing wines from Spain, Argentina and Chile. As far as wine companies go, they are relatively young, having only been founded ten years ago, in 2000. And it’s even more recently, in 2007, that they’ve begun operations in Chile, where they have […]

It should come as no surprise that the label on a wine can have a significant impact on sales. I know I’ve seen some wines where the label totally “wowed” me and other labels that have made a wine appear unappealing to me. But this is a wine with a label that I just don’t […]

We’re doing something a little different tonight… a book review. Friends of mine frequently ask me how they can become better at tasting wine. While there are a lot of exercises and studying that you can do to improve your wine knowledge, there’s one piece of advice that I always give to people: take notes. […]

Dancing Bull was established 8+ years ago as a brand focused on Zinfandel, and to this day that’s the wine for which I assume they’re best known. We’ve reviewed reviewed their Zinfandel in the past, and it was pretty good. But that’s not all they’re producing. After their success with Zinfandel, they’ve branched out into […]

It has been a while since I’ve reviewed a Petite Sirah. If fact, it’s been way too long and as I tasted this wine, I was reminded of how much I love Petite Sirah. The rich flavors, deep color and silky feel are incredible. And who better to revisit this variety with than Concannon. After […]

Over the past few weeks we’ve been focused on Zinfandel and it’s finally time to do the wrap up. The majority of these Zins are from California, but one Italian Primitivo is thrown into the mix just for fun, and that’s the only one that came in with a price under ten bucks. The classic […]

This isn’t the first time we’ve reviewed the Edmeades Mendicino County Zinfandel. In fact, the 2006 vintage of this wine was the top pick, earning a solid 92 points, the last time we did a big series on Zinfandel. Today, we’re checking out the 2007 vintage. Edmeades only produces Zinfandel, and has been doing so […]

The vast majority of Zinfandel that I come across is from California, but to mix things up I thought I’d include a review of an Italian Zinfandel. If you look at wines in the Italian section of your favorite wine shop you may not even know that some of the wines you’re looking at are […]

Agent for Change Zinfandel

What’s better than a tasty Zinfandel on a spring day? A tasty Zinfandel for which half the profits go to charity. And what could be a more enjoyable way to give to charity than by drinking wine? Well, I really can’t think of one. Agent for Change isn’t just a clever name for a wine, […]
