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 […]
Some guys might say it’s not too masculine to drink sparkling wine. Some might say it’s not too masculine to drink rosé, or “pink” wine. Well, I’m going to throw all caution to the wind and drink a wine that’s both pink and sparkling… and I’ll admit that I love every sip of it! Mumm […]
People often ask me, “what’s your favorite wine?” But that’s an impossible question to answer. I don’t have one favorite. My favorite thing about about wine is the variety. I like different wines at different times. Sometimes it depends on what I’m eating with it, what the weather is like, or just what I feel like. […]
Ah, yes. It’s another French rosé. It’s still summer, so we need to celebrate good summer wines. This one is 100% syrah and it’s labeled as a Vin de Pays d’Oc, which means it’s a French “country wine” (i.e. Vin de Pays) from Languedoc (i.e. d’Oc). Vin de Pays is considered a step up from […]
Yes, it’s another rosé we’re reviewing today. And it’s another wine with Rhone varietals. This one also comes from a place not too far from the Rhone — Corbières in the Languedoc. This is a region in the south of France, bordering the Mediterranean Sea. This is a great area for value wines too. I’m […]
Today, I’m continuing a few themes from other recent posts. 1) It’s soooo hot outside, I have to focus on good wines for summer sipping. 2) Rhone varietals. We’ve been talking a lot about Rhone varietals lately, and mourvèdre is yet another one. Although it’s more typically found in red Rhone blends, while this is […]
