  I was wondering what sort of new topic I could start that would pair nicely with my previous posting 'Weekday Wines'; well here it is - Weekend Wines.  Sometimes I just have to stop and take a minute to pat myself on the back for my quick wit but alas, this isn't one of those times.  Anyway, why not talk about wines we enjoy on weekends?  These ...

  OK, just had to spew my cajun dirty rice with Rosso di Montepulciano out my nose when I saw this price list from HDH. Several items here literally were my dailies last decade and the one before it (Caymus, Shafer, Far Niente, Blackbird, Araujo, Verite, Aubert, Hanzell, DuMol, even Dominus--the only ones not particuarly were the Bryant and the Ha...

  Dave (cmcker), yes a thread on online vendors would be excellent, many thanks.On the subject of delayed gratification, or rather, forced delayed gratification, I have a funny story.  We were here in 1995 for the first ever Beijing international wine fair (or some similar name).  As one of the first early wine events in a market that everyone was...

  Hi all!Hoping to wade into interesting wine talk (and food talk).  Me, I've been seriously enjoying and exploring wine for just over 20 years. On the red side, right now I'm partial to wines from Spain and the Rhone valley, but other loves are Oregon pinots, really good Italian wines (yes, it's endless, but that's the fun), and wanting to try mu...

  I've tasted an entry level Turgy product and really liked it for the money. The best vintage bubbly recently was a 2002 Piper Heidsieck "Rare" blanc de blancs.  It was the most laser-like Champagne I've had in a long time as far as balance and intensity of fruit are concerned.

  I recently was lucky enough to have a day and a half free in California’s wine country and given the timing, it was in fact just last week, I took advantage of my time as appropriately as possible. I went sparkling wine tasting! I am just as bad as the next guy when it comes to sparkling wines. Thinking about them only rarely, and mostly towards... Read More

  Ooooohhh....Ahhhhh. Neat to see other people's gifts. (Also - vinovino - happy birthday to your dad! What an occasion! I really hope that I am fortunate enough to be able to celebrate my dad's 90th with him down the road.)My secret santa was also good to me!
