Sometimes, I’m not exactly sure what my job is here at Snooth. I do get to review wine, which many people think is a glamorous and desirable thing to do. The truth is, it’s just a great vehicle for pissing people off. I can piss off producers by either...

Funny thread. I was visiting Mom this past weekend, moving her actually, and since nobody was around, I actually tried some PN and bought it at retail no less. Eh. It was fine for what I wanted, but if people want complex wine, they really have to drink a lot more wine from different varieties. Americans think there are only five or six worth d... Read More

Caramel nose with apple and a hint of strawberry. The taste...is hard for me to describe. I can taste the strawberry, just a hint of mineral. There is a nice crispness to the body of the wine and a slight hint of citrus too. This has got to be one of my favorite whites. Read More
