Basket Case Wine on SnoothMay 2013
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...

I plan on participating in the Lodi Virtual Tasting this week. So, I figured that a good place to find the wines that are in the VT would be Total Wines. In fact, I did reasonably well and found 3 of the 4. (Here's a PSA for VT participants. No driving after this tasting. The low ABV that I bought was 14.5. The other two were over 15.)Well,...

Everywhere I turn, I see people talking about 2010 in the Rhone (both north and south). Lately, I've been on a mission to taste a lot of these wines and so far I've found some good, some bad and some that really would be better poured over pancakes. In some cases, I've agreed with some of the wines being pushed by the "wine critic illuminati".... Read More

My wife and I are recently more serious about wine and consume 5-6 bottles a month. We love Cab Sauv and Zin mainly, as they are what we started on and it stuck.We look forward t... Read More

With the release of Slow Wine and the Slow Wine tasting event and press conference in NYC, we now have all the answers.Essentially, Slow Food and Gambero Rosso went their separate ways over their differing set...

Sean, I was hoping on getting a couple of bottle of your wine [your choice] with your signature on them. I have a roast for Mike Jadrich [60th birthday] on November 19th so my window of opportunity is short. If you can't do it I would understand. If you can... six bottles of your choice... sign a couple of them. I will pay full price plus...

Re-Posted by Sonata Wine:Greek wines Rule!OK, let's start with Santorini. First off, the island is breathtakingly beautiful, situated in the Southern Aegean Sea. Single-story, cubical pure white houses adorn the island, peering out over the blue sea, with black pumice and ash providing the landscape. The island is actually the remains of ... Read More

So, I am beginning to write a series of emails that you can vote on. Problem is, I'll need your help to make the lists. I figured I would start simply, and make a list of the top 5 red wines in the world.
