I’ve reviewed some other Barefoot wines before and I’ve shared my basic perspective on them, but for some this may be the first time visiting the site… and so, I’ll give you the quick version of my position on Barefoot. I think Barefoot does a great job of using technology and quality control to produce […]

Tonight’s wine is from MacMurray Ranch, where they love Pinot. They only produce Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. In case you don’t already know, Pinot Gris is a) another name for Pinot Grigio and b) is related to Pinot Noir. Both grapes, being relatives, are cool-climate varieties. But of course, Pinot Gris is lighter skinned […]

I’ve been slacking on the new posts for the past week, as I’ve been regrouping after the Wine Blogger’s Conference. But finally, yesterday I pulled together some wines I had in the tasting queue and did a blind tasting with a number of Pinot Grigio wines. Over the next few posts, I’ll share those reviews […]

The second US Wine Blogger’s Conference began earlier today and I’m glad to in attendance once again. It’s a gathering of hundreds of wine bloggers like me, along with just many participants from within the wine industry. We’ve already done our opening events (i.e. registration, meet the sponsors, lunch, welcome, etc.) and it’s time for […]

OK, so no… I didn’t uncover leaked information about who won the Murphy-Goode Really Goode job. But I do know who the real winner is, it’s Murphy-Goode. In case you haven’t heard about this let me give you the background. The folks at Murphy-Goode wine set up a contest where they asked people to apply […]

I’m excited to be reviewing another French wine today as so often I’ve found that French wines are stylistically aligned to my taste preferences. This wine comes from the Corbières appellation in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in Southern France. This is along the Mediterranean Coast, south of the Cotes du Rhone region, where I’ve found many […]

The name on this wine is a new one, but the winemaker is not new to wine. Mark Gendron has been producing wine for a good 20 years and founded JanKris winery back in 1990. He recently sold JanKris and is working on some new winemaking ventures, namely JK Estates and Wildfire Cellars. Stray Dog […]

At times I’ve heard some wine lovers contemplate their preferences between old world and new world wines. Personally, there are things I like about both. Each style can be enjoyable in its own way. But what if you could get the best of both worlds in one wine? That’s the idea with Mazzoni, a Super […]

Lately, when I mention Argentine wines most people think of Malbec. It’s popularity has soared over the past few years. But Argentina has a notable variety on the white wine shelf too, Torrontés. This variety is supposedly related to Malvasia. Rather than rewrite what’s already been put out there about Torrontés, I’ll give you these […]

The headline is not a typo. The folks who create those tasty organic Clif Bars are now in the wine business too via the Clif Family Winery. My reaction to hearing about this was mixed. On one hand I thought it was great, after all, Clif Bars are pretty good and they hopefully produce wine […]
