  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"....

  Taking a 4 day holiday in San Francisco and was interested in having some wine to drink and bring a few bottles back home. Now, I don't really want to drive far as I would rather stay in the city to check out dining, shopping and the likes. Are there any wineries/etc within the city limits that I could tour? I have never been to San Fracisco but... Read More

  After today and last weekend, I wanted to discuss the pricing of various wine events- which ones are worth it, and which- not so much.  Here are some of the priciest I have attended:  Taste of Sonoma:  $100-150 depending on your discount;  Treasure Island Wine Festival $55; Rhone Rangers SF, ~$100.  Many folks I know think this is a high price p...

  You could put this under "Wine and Travel," but here's the idea:  dmcker responded to something I said about Cline wines that got me thinking.  Some wines are good, but not necessarily worth seeking out.  They're completely enjoyable, reliable from vintage to vintage, affordable, and widely found.  These aren't always the experiences we are afte...
