Montes Limited Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2007

A great buy at $9.99, the Montes Limited Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2007 is a solid Sauvignon Blanc from the Leyda Valley of Chile.
Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this is a very crisp and pleasant wine. Its light yellow in color, with a bouquet of vegetables (asparagus really stands out here) and hints of citrus [...]

Mini Wine Glass Speakers

I found this on Gizmodo and thought it was pretty cool. This is the Mini Clear Sound System DT-SA101. Its a mini table top sound system. Which, as you can tell, is fashioned after two wine glasses (the speakers) and a wine vat (the amplifier).

Bodegas Alto Almanzora 2006 Este

What can I say? For a wine coming in just under $9, and with a 90 point score from Robert Parker, this wine is definitely a great value wine and a very smart buy.
The wine I am refering to is the Bodegas Alto Almanzora 2006 Este red wine. Produced in the Almanzora Valley (Valle [...]

Vino Style

My famous saying when it comes to the world of wine is, “Wine is a Lifestyle.” This includes the wine, glasses, corkscrews, bottle stops and decanters, to name a few wine essentials. There is also home decor that lets a person know unequivocally that you are a wine lover. I discovered a grape doorbell cover [...]

Bodegas Castaño Hécula 2005 Monastrel

The Bodegas Castaño Hécula 2005 Monastrel from the Yecla region of Spain is value wine that should be added to anyones cellar. I will admit I wasn’t too impressed with this at first. This was mainly because I was expecting a little more from it after reading that Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) rated it 90 [...]

Wine and Music

Wine and music is always a topic posted on wine forums. I post on Wine Spectators Forum, and I’ve given my input on what genre of music I like to listen to when I’m having a great glass of wine.
Friday and Saturday nights are down time for most people who work; for a wine lover, [...]

2007 Schloss Vollrads Riesling Kabinett trocken

This past weekend I had the pleasure to taste a 2007 Schloss Vollrads Riesling Kabinett trocken. A very lovely riesling from from the Rheingau region of Germany. Typically I’m not into the sweeter wines, but I must say, this was quite pleasing to the palate. The first thing that caught my attention was the uncorking [...]

Lorrie’s Crab Appetizers

Fall is around the corner, so we need to eat and drink to celebrate an end to summer. I must confess, Fall and Winter are my best times of the year. The air is cool and we can drink richer wines. But there is something to say for the freshness of seafood in the summer, [...]

2007 Domaine de Triennes Provence Rosè

This Rosè is quite unique. It is a product of France, and it’s flavor screams Provence. This wine is a blend of Cinsault, Syrah and Merlot. It’s profile consists of red fruit, herbaceous notes, with good acidity and a long finish. It is light pink in color, but it’s no White Zinfandel blush wine. The [...]

Your Special Wine Glass

 
For many wine drinkers, “that special glass” is all that will do. For some wine collectors, their stemware collections are as important as the wine they collect. I on the other hand, look at wine glasses in several different ways. My reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Syrah, and Petite Syrah are poured in my [...]
