All Out Wine

  It's certainly a challenge trying to cover the world of wines. There are wines to taste everyday and even with an intensive schedule one can only manage to try a smal portion of the wines that come to market each year. Sadly that means that I miss many noteworthy wines. Keeping on eye on the wine blogs is one way I can stay abreast of all that i... Read More

  Last week we began a tour of Italy’s great white grapes with a look at the wines of the Northwestern provinces. In many cases, white grapes in some of the regions tend to be a bit of an afterthought. I mean, who thinks about Arenis when talk turns to Piedmontese wine? Moving eastward, however, lands you in some serious white wine country. In a w... Read More

  With summer on everyone’s mind, the wine writing community tends to obsess about the white wines that we’ll all be greedily slurping down over the coming months; but the truth is, there will be plenty of red wines called for, as well as roses, this summer.While I am not a huge fan of rich, powerful reds when it’s warm out – the heat tends to acc...

  My neighbors and I have a mutual love of wine, and have had several tasting parties which we've enjoyed a lot.  We did a blind one, and a non-blind one of very different world varieties.  We usually get bottles in about the 20-30 range, although that's flexible, especially going lower for the blind tasting.For this next one, I was thinking of do...

  Bokbunjajoo Korean Raspberry Wine

  Snoothrank:

  Westerners just can't seem to do berries right. It always turns out like a nasty wine cooler.Leave it to the Koreans. Their rasberry wine isn't too sweet and it isn't too dry. It's cheap and it goes well with meals, whether Bi Bim Bap or fresh sea food.It successfully encapsulates that essence of raspberry, the noblest of all berries in my op... Read More

  Armenian Pomegranate Wine NV

  Snoothrank:

  As if grape wine isn't good enough, I can go into the Armenian shops in Nevada and California to find pomegranate wines.Like most fruit wines, retains all the flavor of the original fruit, brings out its regional character, and abolishes all the excess sugars.However, unfermented pomegranate juice isn't overwhelmingly sweet and still tastes pret...

  Tisdale Cabernet Sauvignon Ultimate Wine Shop 2005

  Snoothrank:

  The price is definitely right for this wine. I can get it as low as 2.49 per bottle. It can just about compete with the boxed varieties.I tried making it a staple table wine but it didn't work out for me. It tastes okay at first, like a generic red wine, but then, like all of the tisdales, it has a strong sulphury aftertaste. I couldn't get ... Read More
