  So far the world of wine retail has been pretty boring, when it comes to Cyber-Monday sales.I've seen free shipping from Zachys (promo code ZSHIPNOV), Sherry Lehmann and AllStar wines (Which doesn't really help you if you live in New York).  Italian Wine Merchant has 20% off everything on the website (promotion code: CYBER2012), which just about...

  I used to spend a LOT of time on snooth, but a job assignment took me away for awhile.  I am seeing some new faces, and some old.  As one who is catching up, I would like to hear from some new people here.   I think/hope we all share not only a love for wine, but a desire to share our experience.  Welcome, new Snoothers!

  Everywhere I turn, I see people talking about 2010 in the Rhone (both north and south).  Lately, I've been on a mission to taste a lot of these wines and so far I've found some good, some bad and some that really would be better poured over pancakes.  In some cases, I've agreed with some of the wines being pushed by the "wine critic illuminati"....

  Hi everyone,I've been a member of Snooth for a while now, but I've just been shy to introduce myself and such. My first exposure to wine was almost 14 years ago, when my mother let me have a sip of her then-favorite Shiraz (Wyndham Estates Bin 555) - one reason why Syrah and Shiraz varieties are very dear to me.I started properly acquiring wine ...

  Help!I had this wine at a SF restaurant recently:2001 Valpolicella Ripasso, Brolo Delle Giare VenetoI liked it.  Tried to look it up online and got thousands of hits for partial keywords.  I did research that Valpolicella is a region of Italy, I would assume that Brolo Delle Giare is the winery?  I read that this region makes a few different sty...

  What are the "must-have-wines" when you visit a wine bar?  Or just stuff you'd really like to see. This can become tricky with "by-the-glass" stuff, because I imagine people can become quite cautious with a glass of wine above the $12 figure. Any insights?? Read More

  Hello All!I'm putting a menu together for a wine pairing and wonder if anyone can recommend a white in the $25 range that pairs well with mushrooms stuffed with foie gras, they will be served alongside a carmelized onion bread pudding, so I guess I need a pretty significant white to stand up to that.  I would even consider a red if there is a be...
