  French Eiffel Tower Milk Chocolate Gold Coin

  Snoothrank:

  This is not wine. It is an ad for French chocolate and provides a link to the seller's store. Nothing there to see, except for over- priced Chinese wine and low quality Australian varieties that have become commonplace in China. Read More

  So our friend hhotdog had a bad experience with mourvedre (aka monastrell, mataro), but he's game to try again.  I say we come up with some recommendations.  Appellations, labels, prices and your best shot at describing it.  I'll look on my list at home and figure out just what it was I drank a week or so ago that was pretty good.  (Good enough ...

  My husband looked at me like I'd grown a second head just now when I told him I wanted to take it back for a refund. But I know from reading on here that it is often done. I bought a bottle of SB tonight and it's completely undrinkable. (And trust me, I do not have the highest standards at the moment.) It tastes...sour and bad. I dumped my glass... Read More

  Need some quick fire opinions on whether this is a good buy. And also whether it's a buy and drink now, or a buy and cellar for a while to come.I've been given the oportunity to buy some 2001 Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia for $NZ190 ($US130ish). It's a short offer, my local seller is doing a bit of a clear out. They have it as an RRP of $NZ260. Looked a... Read More

  We spend the morning yesterday at Domaine aux Moines in Savennières with some guests from Houston, Texas and enjoyed a very interesting vertical tasting with Mme Laroche.  As you know, the Loire valley is a huge winemaking region and many winemakers in Anjou produce a whole plethora of wines making the tasting proposition a confusing one.  Tasti...
