I’m spending some time with family for a few days over the holidays and won’t have any new posts until after Christmas. But you can be sure I’ll be tasting some new wines and taking notes to bring you more reviews soon. Whatever holidays you’re celebrating this time of year, I hope they are good […]
Today I’m combining two recent themes in one post: 1) Sauvignon Blanc; and 2) Wine from Chile. Yes, it’s a Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. This isn’t the first SB (wine lingo for Sauvignon Blanc) from Chile that I’ve tried. A few weeks ago I featured the 2008 Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc, which was outstanding. In fact, […]
One of my favorite things at Cheap Wine Ratings is the summary posts, where I can give you a list of wines that have been tried to help you find some great new wines at prices that won’t cause you to break the bank. The contributions are in for Wine Blogging Wednesday #52 and altogether […]
Today is Wine Blogging Wednesday #52 and I am honored to be the host. For those who don’t know, Wine Blogging Wednesday is a monthly event when wine bloggers from around the world all write about a common theme. It was all started 51 months ago by Lenn Thompson at Lenndevours with the help of […]
Tonight we’re back to another Sauvignon Blanc, this one from the Marlborough region in New Zealand (as you might have guessed from the title.) This bottle comes from Brancott, a producer with wines from all parts of New Zealand. I’ve previously reviewed the Brancott Unoaked Chardonnay from the Gisborne region of New Zealand and I […]
Following up from my last post, here is another red blend from the Corbières region in France. Domaine Lignères was established in 1957 and has expanded over the years. It is owned and operated by a family full of medical practitioners and scientists. Seriously, the family that runs this vineyard includes two general practitioners, a […]
You may have noticed that I haven’t updated this site in a couple weeks. A cold had me down—and not tasting wine—for a while, then with the holiday I just took a couple extra days to recuperate. I’m back, but I’m a little behind on my planned tasting schedule. I have a couple more bottles […]
I’m just doing a quick post for this review. Kendall-Jackson is a fairly big wine brand that you’ll find in just about any wine shop or grocery store that sells wine. Although it’s a fairly prevalent brand, it’s still a family run business. It seems to be one of the brands that people first “trade […]
I am happy to announce and proud to be the host of the 52nd installment of Wine Blogging Wednesday. If you are new to Wine Blogging Wednesday and don’t know what it’s about, it’s one day each month when wine bloggers from around the world all write about a common theme.

When one thinks of Chilean wine it’s often the big, bold and affordable red wines that come to mind. I’m certainly one who has become a big fan of the outstanding value reds that can be found from Chile. But there is a lot more diversity coming from Chile than you may realize and some […]
