  The Zinner party was last night, but preparations began a week or two ago when I realized I had accumulated some Zins that needed consuming.  I had been lured by a cellar sale on BPWine that featured a ton of Turley wines from different vineyards at really attractive prices.  By the time I pulled the trigger, the best values appeared to be a 200...

  What would be your ultimate Christmas dinner and what wine would you pair with it?Would you have apperitivos and digestivos?I would go for cornish game hens and roasted rosemary potatos, a large baguette some Echire French butter paired with Alsace Riesling and Gewurztraminer.And finish with Pear Brandy.  Read More

  Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended. This changes - and some would say completes - its distinctive profile. To showcase this iconic black grape, I wanted to pluck out varietal Cabernets. However, I most wanted to spotlight wines from Washington and some of my favorites there are Cabernet-dominated blends. So, I’ve chosen some of both.While no lo... Read More

The "game-changing" publication will see some major changes. Do you think these changes will be a good thing or do they risk losing subsc... Read More

  I don’t do Syrah justice on these pages.Coming from around the world, the wines often do not get the distribution they need because of a soft market. On the other hand, Northern Rhone reds, which are either completely Syrah or predominantly Syrah, are bought up quite quickly.

  As you may know I’m just back from a trip to Chile, where I spent a week traveling around much of the country in search of great wines. While Chile’s wine scene is complex, with great wines from many of the major varieties, I was most interested in their own vinous treasure.

  Sine Qua Non Body and Soul Roussanne Viognier Other Calif/White 2007

  Snoothrank:

  A limited 475-case wine that is 71% Roussanne and 29% Viognier, with fruit from the Eleven Confessions vineyard and matured in one-third new French oak. A vibrant color of golden sunflower oil with a copper rust tinge. The first thing that hit me warm pancakes with maple syrup! Youthul, uplifting aromas of honeysuckle, bees wax, preserved lemon...

  People are not going to like what I have to say here, but that is okay, this is not a popularity contest. I do not write about wine to gather as many friends or followers as possible. I write about wine because I love wine and while I know my palate sometimes strays outside of the mainstream, so be it. I know many other people share my tastes or... Read More
