This well-respected Duboscq product is dark with just a remnant of oak on a nose dominated by black currant and (perhaps) some cola. It exceeds expectation for the vintage with more flavor and balance than early reviews predicted. Admittedly, there is...

Vintage Market on Snooth-
May 2013
Yes, retailers (and government liquor barns) love to use the reviews of one vintage to recommend you buy the product in any vintage whatsoever. Since the respondents here are, in my experience, very aware of quality and what tends to contribute to quality, it is, well, annoying to be treated an an anonymous median value when it comes to wine ap...

Ok, sucker that I am, I got lured back into the 5-cent sale at Bev Mo. UUgghhhh. I spend a good hour looking over all the wines on the sale online. Along side the wines, are reviews by Wilfred Wong. Now, any of you who know me from here know my rant with WW. BevMo (Beverages and More) is a SF bay area chain, extending into other areas of C... Read More

Pinot has been a much celebrated topic here on Snooth over the years I've participated, and it's obviously one of the more celebrated grapes in the wine world. It'll no doubt be a story line I plan on focusing on in years to come so I thought I'd start a thread, logging experiences. Sorry in advance, Greg T.Having said that, I've been mostly dis...

So, I was at a pre-performance dinner before an opera this weekend and a fellow diner/patron told me that her household is in love with a wine named Checkerboard. I've read a little on the interwebs and so far it sounds good. I was wondering if any of you Snoothers had tried this stuff and could provide any feedback.What does it most clearly com... Read More

Being a huge fan of the Rex Cab (as a "great-value, lots-of-bang-for-your-buck" wine) and mildly fond of their Merlot and Pinot Noir, I was hoping that their Sauvignon Blanc would be of comparable quality ... but all I can say is, "Bleah." Harsh, burning, and nearly flavorless, with next to nothing in the bouquet -- not at all like the Rex reds.... Read More

In 2004, the movie Sideways put a major dent in California Merlot sales when Miles uttered the immortal words “I am not drinking fucking Merlot!” At that point there were a lot of ripe, insipid Merlots on the market—many grown in areas that were too hot for the grape to ripen slowly, gaining full physiological maturity—so Miles’ sentiments reson...

In glossary terms, a prestige cuvée is an exceptional Champagne, generally aged extensively and very carefully blended from the best parcels, which sell for a premium. Historically speaking, and with some irony in the timing, the concept was developed by Robert-Jean de Vogüé, a director at Champagne Moët & Chandon during the Great Depression. He... Read More

I know there have been conversations here on the Forum about wines made in the U.S. state of Texas. I participated in one of them. Generally, it has been difficult to find anybody from outside the state who is really excited about Texas wines. Personally, my very limited experience has not been great.However, today I stumbled onto this articl... Read More
