9 Mile Road

• August 2011

  As many of you know, vellovino has a blog that combines cycling and wine.  And I happen to think the best way to see any wine country is on a bike--whether that takes one day or many.  So we're teaming up to cover the wine territory of the Spanish Vuelta, probably the third most important stage race in cycling.  (TdF and Giro d'Italia being the ...

  uggghhhhh.....this is one of those wines that makes me question my entire belief system. It's so bad that either it's a) cooked b) plain terrible c) too young to open d) all of the above. I honestly have no idea what the correct answer is. notice that I didn't have corked as an option because this is a screwtop. Enjoy the wine, New York City sew... Read More

  I've just returned from the International Malbec Days in Cahors, a festival meant to elevate the profile of "original" Malbec, and offer insight into the relationship between old world and new world expressions of the varietal.I'll be writing more about both the trip and the region, but for now, I wanted to offer highlights. I had limited exposu... Read More

  Would definitely be interested in hearing what people think are the best wineries, and wines, in the Okanagan. Hopefully with an explanation why. Have a good friend going for an extended stay, based in Kelowna, in a month or so, and it'd be nice to be able to offer some pointers. She and her husband drink a lot of New Zealand sauvignon blanc,... Read More

You just read about a great wine you are unfamiliar with. Where do you go in your local area to get it?That happened to me about 2 months ago. We had just watched "Bottle... Read More

  I had this bottle at a wine bar in San Diego called 3rd Corner and all the ladies I was with loved it. I would have bought a case but we had the last bottle! A wonderful smooth taste. Read More

  Hands up if you've had a wine from Monterey.Of the 850 wines that I've rated on Snooth, I've had around 15 from there. Pretty poor considering the size of the region and the quality of wines made there: 40,000 acres of grapes farmed, across 9 AVA'a along an 85 mile long valley with over 80 wineries calling the county home.Monterey was originally...
