  Cristom Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard 2003

  Brick red in the glass. Lightly smoky nose. Peppery dried herb and plum fruit on the nose. Spicy profile. Diminishing fruit, so all that's left is plum. Fleshy. Stony minerality. Zesty herb and white pepper notes. Nice, but needs food. Cinnamon dust influence. Drink now.89 pts.5/18/13 Read More

  Martian Ranch & Vineyard Grenache 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Can barely detect red berry under the massive amount of smoke on this wine. Heavily charred, burnt aromas. That's about all that's there. Palate enters with cedar dust and tart red currant and pomegranate and cherry, but it's overtaken by a heavy handed amount of oak toast. Perhaps this is too delicate a wine for heavily toasted barrels or s... Read More

  Querciabella Chianti Classico DOCG 2009

  Snoothrank:

  The 2009 Querciabella was richer, darker and more forward than the 10, showing red berries, wood spices and Tuscan dust. On the palate, tart red berries with hints of spice prevailed, staying juicy and rich throughout. The finish showed saturating red fruits and hints of earth. This wine was beautiful on this day and will likely improve a little... Read More

  Fontodi Chianti Classico 2009

  Snoothrank:

  The nose showed cherry sauce with Tuscan dust, spicy notes, hints of mushroom and citrus. On the palate, it was focused with refined red fruits and inner floral notes. The finish was clean with pure red fruits and hints of structure. This was easily one of the best entry-level Chianti Ive tasted this year. Read More

  Veronica had an interest in food from a young age, cooking Mediterranean before it ever became popular in restaurants. She even remembers being at school and other students wanting to swap her “exotic” tomato paste and olive oil sandwich for their plain jam sandwich. Today, as Executive Chef at Orlando Wines (the winery that makes Jacob’s Creek)...

  We built our own cellar underneath our kitchen deck like 15 years ago. It doesn't have any cooling system. The temperature in the 60's degrees. Now we are having a problem. There is some humidity in one of the walls, and all the bottles and floor are covered by this red dust. We cleaned everything, and the dust is coming back. Any ideas wh...
