  Hey all,  I'm really just getting started with wine but i've been drinking/tasting seriously for about a year now. I will be graduating in a couple of weeks and I figure it is a good opportunity to buy my first batch expensive bottles since normally i dont exceed $25 in my tasting.Since it is my graduation, excessive drinking is likely to take p...

  This just arrived in my email--hoping the nested Snooth link doesn't cause the universe to collapse in an endless do-loop or a black hole:Let's have dinner... I love New York. Sure, it’s been said by others, but the fact is, I really do love New York- there’s an energy there that no place on earth can duplicate. During my last visit in March I h... Read More

  Zinfandel, it’s no secret that I’ve carried on a long and intimate relationship with you. There is so much you have to offer. Sometimes you're a bit rough and tumble, edgy, even dangerous, while other times you’re coy or playful. But you’re always there for me, with joyous fruit, classic bramble notes and structure, allowing for early consumptio... Read More

  Saxon-Brown Zinfandel Sonoma Valley Fighting Brothers Cuvée 2009

  Snoothrank:

  This shows off a big chocolate-laced nose, restrained and polished wood treatment, and spicy black cherry, Griottes jammy note. With bright acid on entry, followed by lovely soft and slightly dusty tannins, this shows good support for the spiced (but not spicy) big red berry fruit that turns a bit inky on the backend. Theres some bitter red frui... Read More

  It’s the holiday season and everyone is recommending Pinot Noir again. What is it with folks, do they just like to take the path of least resistance? Will there come a day when Pinot is not the end all of holiday wine recommendations? Probably not. Lambrusco and Blaufrankisch have a whole set of issues that will prevent them from ever garnering ... Read More

  Donelan Syrah Sonoma County Cuvée Christine 2010

  Snoothrank:

  The nose showed dark wild berries, exotic spice and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it had medium weight with a balanced spark of acidity, showing ripe red and black fruits, lavender, hints of pepper and inner floral notes. The long and staying finish revealed hints of this wines structure and likely its ability to age. (93 points) Read More

  I posed my first day and a half on Paso Robles in the forum.  On our second full day, we ventured down to Solvang for breakfast.  Fun stop, but very touristy, especially on the holiday weekend. Photos from Paso/Santa Maria here:Photos from TripIt was cool to drive by the "Sideways" areas like the Windmill motel and The Hitching Post.  Solvang ha...
