  Zinfandel, it’s no secret that I’ve carried on a long and intimate relationship with you. There is so much you have to offer. Sometimes you're a bit rough and tumble, edgy, even dangerous, while other times you’re coy or playful. But you’re always there for me, with joyous fruit, classic bramble notes and structure, allowing for early consumptio... Read More

  Casa Larga Chardonnay Finger Lakes Clv

  Snoothrank:

  Who says only good Chardonnay comes from California?! Out of Fairport, New York in the Finger Lakes region, we found a wonderful Chardonnay that is fresh and full of flavor!

  I was going to put this in the Whatcha Drinking Tonight thread.

  So you can follow it on the other threads, but I was supposed to fly into New York for the dinner on November 2, but this storm thing messed that up--our cousin had to let his sister use the apartment when she lost power at her home in NJ.  Plus the airlines were saying I might not even get in, and they'd refund the miles.  It was going to be a ...

  Last week, I took a look at value Pinot Grigios priced at $15 and under. Today, we turn the tables and look at a handful of wines that break through the $15 threshold.Some of those value priced wines are just as good, albeit in a slightly different style, as many of these wines. The main difference is that if you were shopping blind, you would b... Read More
