  Fox asked me the other day if I was going to start a thread on this years growing season.

But, things are getting off to an early start due to unusually warm Spring weather and a mild Winter where the Sierra snowpack is only 17% of norma... Read More

  Things are about to get a lot busier. If spring ever arrives, and I’ve been assured that it is on its way, we won’t only be looking at southern wine destinations. Meanwhile, I’m willing to give them one more month. April is a wonderful month to travel to wine regions in the Northern Hemisphere. The vines are slowly shaking off the shackles of wi... Read More

  OK, then, here's what I've tried so far. The first one I tried I did not write down, so I don't remember the label. It was not one I'd like to try again, though, so maybe it is no great loss.Forgotten Cabernet Sauvignon - A CAB is probably not what I should've tried first, but I knew no better.

  My family and I are brand new to wines, having bought a couple of books and deciding to make a bit of an adventure out of this. We live in a smallish town and haven't been able to find a good local wine shop, so we sort of started in our grocery stores. It's been a bit overwhelming, a bit expensive, and finally kind of frustrating trying to find... Read More

  Apolloni Rosé Blend Oregon Rosé 2011

  Snoothrank:

  Alfredo Apolloni artfully blends his trademark Pinot Noir with Viognier to create this beautiful Rosé, which typically sells out annually. Definitely fruit-forward, youre immediately engulfed by notes of watermelon and strawberries complemented by its strong citrus finish. Rosés are the perfect choice for summer refreshment, and is itself nearly... Read More

  My wife and I went to Northern Vineyards Winery this last Saturday. Although the place was really busy, we only had to wait about 5 minutes to start a winetasting. The employees were really helpfull to get us started tasting as soon as possible, and tried to answer all of my questions, even though they appeared quite busy. Once we got to the win...

  The winery has a great tasting room and an even better deck with a view overlooking the St.Croix and the liftbridge. We brought a picnic and purchased a glass of wine to take up with us. What a great view!! Tasting is complimentary if you purchase anything. The girls working the tasting bar were very knowledgeable. The wines were very nice. ...
