UnCork-It

• December 2009

  I was recently at my wine store and picked up 7 or 8 bottles. I told the manager the horror stories of my experiences with chardonnay. He suggested I give Four Vines Chardonnay a try. So i bought it and brought it home. I had some friends over, and realized to my surprise it was a screw cap: embarrassed I put it back in the cooler. I'm stil... Read More

  Domaine Fourrey Chablis 2007

  Snoothrank:

  This was not at all what you would expect from a typical Chablis - it was more like a California Chard. Instead of steely minerality and crisp citrus, this was pineapple, vanilla and melon with a golden color and a buttery texture, which would seem to belie oak and a much warmer climate than one finds in Chablis. Not sure what the explanation fo... Read More

  In my last post, I wrote about the dilemma I am facing in naming my personal wine project.  I said that I am 99% sure of what that name would be.  And before I unveil it here and my reasons why, let it be said that this is no press release in the vein of Snooths Wine Pairing application.  Kudos to the team for another quality extension of the br...

  Just wondering if anyone has read this book by Benjamin Wallace? It's a fascinating story of a 1787 Lafite supposedly from Thomas Jefferson's collection. I am halfway through it and it's got the makings of a film! Very interesting, as it talks about tastings of the oldest wines known. Any thoughts from others? Can you imagine getting the op...

  Gnarly Head Zinfandel Lodi Old Vine 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin 2006 Lodi ZinfandelWe really like this old vine zinfandel. It's a hit with BBQ ribs. Lots of bang for the buck at $9.99 or so. Big robust aroma on the nose a little tight at first but opens up in the glass keeping you coming back for a sniff. Black cherry, dark fruit & some spice with hints of oak & vanilla as it opens u...
