  We really enjoyed dinner last night at 'Proof' in Washington DC, followed by a play at the Woolly Mammoth theater called 'Lights Rise on Grace'.   The wine list at Proof is extensive and shall we say, expensive.  However, the sommelier gave us an excellent recommendation when I asked for a nice Cabernet Sauvignon that was not too far from $100, ...

  Rioja remains one of the very last bastions of value when it comes to traditionally styled wines. However, it offers consumers considerably more than that: it affords consumers the chance to purchase aged wines that are ready to drink at prices that make them undeniable bargains. But today that is not what I want to talk about. I’m still going t... Read More

  I once, a few years back, almost pulled the trigger on a real estate purchase in the hills back behind the Big Sur coastline. Was reminiscing on that today, and wondered why I never hear about wine from that area.

  Sam, believe it or not, we all are friends here.  ;-)I know that you can get Ridge and Seghesio Zinfandels in MS.  My feeling is you can' go wrong with them.For what it's worth, Outthere is my wine Guru.  It's true that since he lives in Sonoma County and because of his business he does get access to wines that are hard to find in retail stores....

  As a liquor store manager, I'm always looking for the next trend and what's popular with wine fans.  Personally, I like to expand my tastes to see what's out there besides what's trending.  Looks like Snooth will help me with both, so I'm looking forward to checking out mentors and "snoothfriends!"Cheers!Sam Jones, jonesvoice.

  Too bad, OT. I'm still liking that Gainey.  Nothing particulaly special, but pretty easy to drink.We're having guests tomorrow and Mrs. EMark is doing Morroccan.  Oh boy.  Guests are, mostly, beer drinkers.  I really don't know what I'll be drinking other than it will be fermented grapes, not fermented grains.  We'll be pretty busy the next few ...
