  I was going to put this in the Whatcha Drinking Tonight thread. But since there was some Syrah talk going on I thought I'd start a new thread on Cool Climate Syrah.Tonight I'm visiting a wine I haven't had in since May and wanted to see how it is progressing. It comes from high up atop the Yorkville Highlands in the Anderson Valley  which is in ... Read More

  Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended. This changes - and some would say completes - its distinctive profile. To showcase this iconic black grape, I wanted to pluck out varietal Cabernets. However, I most wanted to spotlight wines from Washington and some of my favorites there are Cabernet-dominated blends. So, I’ve chosen some of both.While no lo... Read More

  I noticed that OutThere purchased seven bottles of a particular wine at $14 and it occurred to me that it was a $100 purchase, and enough to last about a week.  So I got curious, and mentioned in the thread that it would be interesting to know how much per week people spent.  Well, Emark has better records and more time on his hands than I do, a...

  When I introduced myself to Snooth, last spring, I mentioned that my brother-in-law had gifted me with a bottle of wine that he'd picked up on one of his fishing expeditions to Baja California--Casa Pedro Domecq 2007 Reserva Real, a blend of Barbera and Ruby Cabernet.  I asked if anybody on Snooth had any experience with this or Mexican wines in...

  I finally visited Ryhan Vineyards in Livermore yesterday.  In all honesty, I am not a big fan of most Livermore wines (I do like some tho!).... they tend to be HUGE, alcoholic, and overly fruity.  But not at Ryhan.  I tasted the reds here, and found them to be excellent.  Easy drinkability, restrained, yet with enough acidity to make them good f...

  Moving on and just in time! I'm all jet laggy and grumpy so let's keep this short. Drink Riesling and share your notes here. I'm about to jump on line and rant a bit before trying the 2008 Pacific Rim Solstice Vineyard Riesling. neither particularly sweet, nor fruity and would show exceptionally well with food. 89pts! Say what? Yes indeed you re... Read More
