I refuse to let go of summer! Despite things starting to get cool outside, I’m clinging to summer and my favorite summer wines — like Vinho Verde. I’ve reviewed quite a number of Vinho Verde wines over the past couple years and one thing that tends to be typical with them is a light frizzante […]

Apothic Red seems to be one of the most popular bargain wines out there. I constantly hear people rave over it. And so, the Apothic brand has been capitalizing on their success and expanding their line. Apothic Dark is a special, seasonal release only available for a short time. Based on the label, one has to […]

A couple years ago I reviewed the 2010 vintage of Louis riesling from Louis Konstantin Guntrum. I loved it then and now tasting the 2012 vintage I can say that I still love this wine. The grapes for this wine are grown along the banks of the Rhine river between Oppenheimer and Nierstein in Germany. All fermentation […]

I’ve reviewed a few wines in the past from a small producer from California called Spelletich Family Winery, but it’s been a while. And I’ve never reviewed one of their whites… until now. If you’ve been reading this site for a while you probably know how I feel about chardonnay. I struggle with it. Or […]

A couple weeks ago I published a review of Michel Chapoutier, Bila-Haut Cotes du Roussillon Villages, at wine that absolutely blew me away by how awesome it is. So I had to post a review of another wine from the Bila-Haut line, their rosé. This rosé comes from the Languedoc-Roussillon area in France. And while many […]

I first discovered Four Vines back in 2008 at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival. Well, I discovered them in the same sense that Columbus discovered America. They were already around and doing quite well, I just happened to become aware of them then. And once I discovered Four Vines I became a big fan! Their zinfandel […]

It’s only September and I’m already seeing Christmas junk on display in stores. Have they forgotten about Halloween? It’s one of my favorite holidays, although I haven’t taken the time to celebrate it much in the past few years. Plus a lot folks say that I’m too old for Halloween. I think Halloween should be […]

Do you ever find yourself looking over a wine list at a restaurant and you’re frustrated that you don’t know any of the wines on the list? Despite the large number of wines I review, I too find myself in this situation. But my solution to this problem is to order based on region rather […]

Last night I posted a review of Champs de Gaillard, a tasty Bordeaux for under $20 (which seems unbelievable). And tonight I have yet another bargain-Bordeaux to share, this one from Château Lamothe de Haux. Both of these wines are on the “Today’s Bordeaux” list for 2014. This is a list of 100 Bordeaux wines priced between […]

Champs de Gaillard Red Bordeaux Blend – A Steal!

I generally walk right past the Bordeaux section when I’m in a wine shop. It’s not that I don’t like Bordeaux, I just don’t like paying too much for my wine. But apparently I’ve been making a mistake and I’ve been missing out. There’s a lot of hype in the marketplace about Bordeaux. It’s been like […]
