• February 2015

  Hi all,Just want to introduce myself. I have recently started taking an interest in wine and have come to the point where I want to start learning more about it. At this point I can identify which lines I like, and which I don’t, but I really hope to be able to take it a step further and understand what makes it so that I like certain wines and ... Read More

  Sidney Frank Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley the Sidney 2004

  Snoothrank:

  Powerful zin. Not for the faint of heart, this zin packs a whollop at 16.2% alcohol! Raspberries and black cherries on the nose and lingering dark chocolate and cherries on the palate. Nice legs, hansome bottle. 2004 is right at it's limit, so look for cellared bottles but expect dry and sugared corks. Push down slightly to release stuck cork an... Read More

  Hi guys:I was at a local wine and liquor store today; I buy quite a bit of stuff from them but don't really know any of the staff. It was quite warm and I was out running errands. I decided to stop by and pick up a few bottles of inexpensive wine (sub $15) that I can use in part for cooking.I guess maybe my hand was a little sweaty or something ... Read More

  Just finished tasting Ballabourneen The Stuart 2013 Chardonnay (Australian Wine Selectors Hunter Valley Series January 2014 dozen), bottled under screwcap. Supposed to have a "round and subtle biscuity finish" Well the bottle I tasted was way to subtle for me I'm afraid! I think it is due to last week's tasting of the Tapanappa  2008 Tiers Picca...

  Below are some good online wine purveyors I've dealt with very successfully over the years. They have provided well-curated wine selections at good prices, processed purchases well, and shipped efficiently (though not all internationally). I'm throwing their names out with multiple aims in mind:to see if anyone has good or bad experiences to sha... Read More

  I quite enjoy the Snooth Virtual Tastings.  It's been a while since I joined in the live event, because (I can't believe a retired person has this problem.) of schedule conflicts.  Even when I don't participate in the live event, I make time to view the archived recording.So, I was pleased to see that I had no conflict for the next VT--La Crema ...

  The tastings continue and nothing has been bad and quite a bit good.  I received a PM asking if there was any Yelp info or a link to the store--there is a link above, but I guess it doesn't show up on monochrome monitors.;-)Anyway, here's the Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/sousas-discount-liquor-fremont?nb=1This is my second experience in a few d...

  Hi, I am an accidental wine enthusiast. As part of a major remodeling project including our family room I revived my interest and enjoyment of wine. Our family room was redone using dark hickory planking and the room has a short wall next to our fireplace. This wall has always presented a challenge to make use of the space. I researched and sear... Read More
