In my last riesling review for Louis Riesling I mentioned how seeking rieslings from Germany would increase the likelihood that the riesling you buy is good.  Well, within German wines Mosel is a region you’ll see often.  It’s the third largest region in the country, but seems to be the most prominent region internationally.  It’s […]

It amazes me how many times I’ve heard people say “I don’t like riesling” because whenever I hear that, I think “you haven’t tried the right riesling.”  This is truly a misunderstood wine and one where you can find as many bad ones as good ones.  And so, I can understand why it has a […]

Perhaps it’s just my yearning to be unique, but I really enjoy checking out wines that are atypical.  Let’s face it, it’s fun.  And it’s a great way to learn about different wines, as well as different regions.  After all, what’s atypical in a Cincinnati supermarket may be an everyday occurrence elsewhere, like Germany. And […]

My experience with Robert Mondavi’s various wineries goes back many vintages.  And, I can say that I’ve never had a negative experience with any of their wines, whether they were from the main estate, from Woodbridge, or from their joint venture with Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Opus One.  Regarding the latter, I’ve been fortunate to […]

The other day we reviewed a Vinho Verde from Great Sense and tonight we’re checking out another one, this one from Casa de Vila Verde. Like many European vineyards, Casa de Vila Verde has a long history, going back to the mid-17th century within the same family.  And like many European producers, the winery was […]

I’ll be honest.  I went into this review a little biased.   Having already reviewed a few of their wines, including their 2009 cabernet sauvignon and 2009 pinot noir, I’m somewhat familiar with the story behind this winery.  They’re relatively new on the block, and still cutting their stylistic teeth on their first few vintages.  And while […]

Californian Wine

When I first started this website a lot of people commented that I must love Trader Joe’s because of all the bargains they have on wine.  And as much as I wanted to love Trader Joe’s, I just never became a big fan.  Most of the wines I tasted from them were nothing special, albeit […]

It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a pinot grigio, so we need no more reason than that to check one out today. This one comes from Voga Italia and they win the award for coolest, sexiest bottle I’ve seen all week.  When I first saw this bottle I thought it would just be a […]
