  So I am going to Napa tomorrow for a few days.  I have some prearranged plans that cannot be changed, but have some limited  time for tasting.As "napagirl", I should already know exactly where to go.  The problem is, I get stuck into that rut of going to the ones I like, the old faves, over and over.  I would love to hear your recommendations an...

  I'm sitting around on this President's Day holiday (banks are closed, no postal delivery, stock markets are closed), and this popped into my mind.  My recollection is that 30 or so years ago the only wine bottles that had punts in their bottom where for Champagne or other sparkling wines.  Then punts started appearing in all kinds of still wines...

Started out the afternoon tasting through the entire lineup of Jemrose wines, from Viognier through Syrah, from '09 through '11 barrel samples matched up against some French counterparts.

  Hi All,   I have a few thoughts/questions that I would appreciate comments on. I have been some-what seriously drinking wine for about eight years now. I am 61 years old and before the "wine enlightenment", drank mostly micro-brewery and other not so chic types of beer. Every year now for the past four, I have held a blind tasting of different r...

  So last winter, we drank a bottle of 2004 Dom de la Roquete Chateauneuf du Pape.  Delicious.  Bought it at deep discount, and wished I had bought more.  Last month, at a large dinner, someone (a beverage professional from one of SF's best restaurants) brought the 2007 of same wine, direct from Kermit Lynch, so the provenance was unquestionable. ...

  I read this story with some interest because I worked for a recruiting firm with ties to John Kluge in my 20s, and because I have family in VA near Albemarle.  http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/112329/rise-fall-of-patricia-kluge?mod=family-love_money What's worth reading is that Patricia Kluge was actually succeeding in the wine busin...

  Hi Everyone,I built my own cellar from a pantry adjacent to my dining room 11 years ago. I insulated it very well, installed a foil vapor barrier, and built mahogany racks to hold 620 bottles. I installed an exterior glass door and recessed lights with a granite floor. It looks great! We get amazing compliments from our visitors. But...I did cut... Read More
