  There is not much new information one can write about Theobaldo Cappellano, a sometimes divisive winemaker with whom I was once fortunate to spend the better part of the afternoon discussing winemaking, viticulture, land use, morality and invention. To say that my visit was unusual is perhaps an understatement, though I’m guessing it was only un... Read More

  R Wines Shiraz Strong Arms 2007

  Snoothrank:

  The nose opens to strong tar with hints of plum and pepper, notes of floral. The palate launches with tar, raspberry, blackberry, licorice, pepper. Tart and sour. Thin on the finish. For an inexpensive wine, not bad. Not bitter or astringent even though dominated by sour/tart fruit in the first hour. No heavy bombing, which is nice, but cl... Read More

  We were sitting around one recent winter afternoon, enjoying one of our favorite Tuscan I.G.T.'s, Fattoria Montagliari's 1997 Brunesco, when it occured to us that this wine would be amazing combined with bitter chocolate. Now, the idea of combining certain wines with chocolate is nothing new - but this Brunesco!With that, Antonio grabbed the hal... Read More

  Red Wine Headaches (The RWH Syndrome)Roxi, a colleague, recently asked me on Facebook what caused her headaches when she drank wine. My standard “bar talk” on the subject was not enough because she gets headaches from all kinds of wine, red and white including grape juice but not the actual fresh unfermented grapes.So I was stumped and started r...

  R Wines Shiraz Strong Arms 2008

  Snoothrank:

  This is a sturdy, full bodied wine, heartily viscous, big, bold, spicy and stormy- not a whole lot of subtlety here especially with it's 15% alcohol wallop. I found it's color deep and murky like a midnight ocean, featuring flavors of butter, some black strap molasses, vanilla, oak, licorice, but almost equally juxtaposed with juicy rich raspber...

  Domaine Yves Cuilleron Syrah Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes Rosé Sybel 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Drunk with roast beef and fried potatoes. At the opening of the strong scents of reduction. Consequently, setting decanter and stirred three hours before. Profile change. Always deviant animal notes but no longer mask the flavors of fruit. Acidity is noticeable on the nose. On the palate, clean attack on the fruit. Goes fast enough to leave room... Read More
