    I only had one...I think it was a good wine but I was just really taken off guard by its sweetness level. I had it with a cross section of PN (along with a Chiilean, S. African, Burgundy, California, Oregon, and BC) when I just started getting into learning about wine earlier this year. I was just thinking about it as German PN, but suffice to s... Read More

    Hi Guys:In my ongoing saga of trying to learn how to cook, I'm planning on giving lobster thermidor a whirl soon. I'd like to pair it with 2-3 wines, mostly as a pairing experiment to see which works best. Any ideas? I was thinking I could potentially combine the dinner with the vintage VS NV champagne combo I've been meaning to do...other ideas... Read More

    It’s always a thrill when you find that perfect pairing.It happened this weekend when having a casual dinner with friends who had just returned from southern France. We nibbled on tomato salad, fennel salami, lentils and green beans, and a special treat, duck breast rolled with foie gras (smuggled back in their suitcase).After depleting the firs... Read More

    So, been meaning to post this picture for a while, but I was inspired to do something after the article about DIY cork and bottle crafts... which was not my favorite article and in fact kind of disappointing, since the author avoided anything that sounded difficult.  Geez, my kids can make a cork trivet! Anyway, we were in Europe (okay, enough a...

  • February 2012

    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 ...

    Lieb family cellars is offering a '9/11 Memorial Commerative Merlot' and '9/11 Memorial Commerative Chardonnay' produced '90 miles from the site of the World Trade Center' out on Long island. I guess we're supposed to be happy that they're saying they'll send 6 to 10% of the proceeds to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Oh, and they... Read More

    I like the idea of packaging something very much. Especially if it is to pass hands as a product from creator to customer. It changes perspective, interpretation and how we feel about the product. Powerful stuff. I think people have admitted to being happily sucked into the magic of shiny upgraded Hoovers and cute PDF sized McMeals in the past b... Read More
