I love reading wine labels, particularly when winemakers take the time, and make the investment to tell you a little about their wine. Gnarly Head, takes the time. And if you’ve read my post on Gnarly Head 2009 Chardonnay, you know how I feel about the Gnarly Head Brand. I’m a fan. I’m also a […]
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 […]
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, […]
One way that you can save some scratch on your wine is to buy wine produced in regions other than the really popular ones. When most people think of California wine, they think of Napa or Sonoma. But in most cases you’ll end up paying a premium for wines from those regions. Montevina Winery is […]
Let’s start with something positive… I love the label on this Zinfandel. Other than that, it’s just OK. Not bad, but just OK. And it is a good deal. Masked Rider wine is produced by the Panther Rock Wine Company, founded by fourth generation descendants of the Franzia family, which first produced wines in 1896. […]
I feel guilty right now. Guilty that I haven’t shared this review with you sooner. You see, I take my tasting notes in sessions where I taste several wines in a category in one sitting. Then later I’ll do some background research on the wines and write up the review along with my tasting notes. […]
I first discovered Four Vines Zinfandels a couple years ago at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival, where they instantly became my favorite wines out of hundreds at that event. And yet I had never heard of them before that event. In my conversation with one of the reps, she shared that Four Vines refuses to […]
Over the past couple years I’ve become a full-fledged fan of X Winery. They are consistently putting out some tasty wine at reasonable prices. I won’t say their prices are ultra-cheap, but they are reasonable and the quality-to-price ratio tends to be excellent with X Winery. This Zinfandel gives me another reason to love them. […]
