  "-- The 2007 ----- is 100% Tinto Fino aged for 24 months in French and American barriques. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it emits a super-fragrant bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, Asian spices, black cherry, and blackberry. Dense and opulent on the palate, this loaded effort is succulent, pure, and exceptionally lengthy. It will evolv... Read More

  I've just offered to help some friends select wines for their upcoming wedding, and thought i'd drop in to see if you all had any fresh suggestions.  The price range/bottle is $10-$20, and it will be for at least two types of red wine. Right off the bat, I'm pretty sure I can easily find a good Malbec blend from Argentina that fits the criteria....

I had limited exposu... Read More

  I grew up on a farm.  Farmers kill themselves to survive and we support each other by buying locally.  I am from CA and I have been drinking wine predominately from Napa, Sonoma and Carneros since I was 21.  The point is, when I am studying for this WSET exam and being told that the best expression of every premium wine is found in some AOC in F...

  I am a newbie and have a question about preserving reds after I open the bottle. I want to have a glass of red (varieties will differ) a day but I worry about the wine going stale. Assume I will get 4 glasses out of a bottle, what is the best way to store it? Cork it and let it sit on my counter? Any help would be great.Thanks,Chris Pena Read More

  My husband and I have put ourselves on a budget (considering the state of the economy) and are trying to only buy wines for $13 and under. Anyone out there have a favorite that fits that price in mind? Read More

  Bodegas B.G. Gueta-Lupia Priorat 1998

  Snoothrank:

  I used to love this wine, but on its most recent tasting (2007), I found the 1998 very tired. We waited an hour for it to open up and soften, but it never did. Hints of elegant blackcurrant fruit, but not much else remained. A disappointment for the price. Read More

  Bodegas B.G. Priorat Gueta-Lupia 1998

  Snoothrank:

  The bottle I had was all of the things Wine Spectator says below, but with the volume turned down to 4 or so. It never opened up, and we did give it a chance. It might have been an 87 in '98, but it's no more than an 81 now. It's still tasty in those ways, just... thin. Read More
