So the bottle says T.H. and that stands for Terroir Hunter. Sounds exciting doesn’t it? And it is. This is the first wine I’ve had the opportunity to taste from the Limari region in Chile. This is one of the northernmost wine regions in the country and generally has a dry, hot climate. The grapes […]
Only moments after publishing my first Carmenere review, I’m already publishing the second one. Pretty cool, eh? This one comes from a producer that may be familiar to regular readers, since we have previously reviewed the Errazuriz Sauvignon Blanc. As a single vineyard wine, it’s intended to have an expression unique to the soil where […]
While it certainly isn’t the first Carmenere I’ve tasted, this is the first one I’ve reviewed on this site. It’s always exciting to add another variety to the navigation. Woo hoo! Santa Carolina is an old producer with a long history in Chile, and yet in a way it’s a young brand as well. It […]
Los Vascos is another producer that I’ve reviewed in the past. In fact, they were one of the first Chilean producers to draw my attention. One of the first things that many consumers notice about Los Vascos is that it’s owned by the highly regarded Bordeaux producer, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). I really liked […]
Continuing my reviews from the Chilean wine tasting, this is the only Pinot Noir from the lineup. I’ve previously reviewed the Cono Sur Organic Pinot Noir and I liked that one, so I was looking forward to tasting another Pinot from the Cono Sur portfolio. This Pinot is grown on old vines in a cooler […]
It should come as no surprise to regular readers here that I’m officially a fan of Chilean wines. I’ve consistently found high quality at reasonable prices with most wines I’ve recently tried from this region. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some clunkers out there, but the majority of those I’ve tasted have been good. And […]
This review is different from any other wine review on this site. In fact, it’s not even a review as much as it is an experiment. It’s not about introducing you to a new wine. It’s about experiencing music with a wine and seeing what effect it has. For those who don’t know, there are […]
As a man on a quest to find the best wine bargains out there, I keep an eye out for awards won by inexpensive wines and make a note to check those out for myself. Just a couple months ago, right here in Cincinnati, the 2007 Harlow Ridge Pinot Noir was awarded one of only […]
I’ve been wanting to do a Gewurztraminer review here for a while and I’m finally getting around to one today. And at the same time I’m wading into what might be the most debated wine pairing topic: Asparagus. I’m not going to spend a lot of time debating which wines go best with asparagus, I’ll […]
I am a sucker for products that donate profits to charity. And I know that in many cases “sucker” is probably an appropriate word to use. There is a “feel good” factor that makes me enjoy products more if I think that the profits are going to support a good cause rather than going directly […]
