Red Wine Review: Pannotia Garnacha

Date: Fri, Oct 17, 2008 Wine Tasting

Imported wines can be tough to purchase, because there are so many wines brought in from so many areas of the world, with labels that you likely have never heard of, nor seen, before — particularly in the under-$15 range. Additionally, there are a ton of wines brought in for no other reason than the [...]

Rose Wine Review: Artazuri

Date: Thu, Oct 9, 2008 Wine Tasting

It’s not too late to drink rose wine — in fact many of this year’s releases are still fresh and vibrant. Which is a good thing, since pink wines tend to be enjoyable on their own and match with a wide variety of foods. This particular rose comes from an importer I respect highly — I [...]

Pinot Noir Review: Acacia “A”

Date: Wed, Oct 1, 2008 Wine Tasting

Acacia “A” Pinot Noir 2006 There are oodles and oodles of Pinot Noir choices at all price levels from all regions around the world — so how does one know which one to buy? Beats me … unless you’re spending $45 or more for a legit red Burgundy from a reliable producer, buying Pinot Noir is a [...]

White Wine Review: Antinori Bianco

Date: Tue, Sep 23, 2008 Wine Tasting

Villa Antinori Toscana Bianco 2006 IGT A few years back, Pinot Grigio replaced Chardonnay as the number-one selling white wine in the USA. As a result, prices for established, reliable Pinot Grigio skyrocketed, and a slew of unknown Pinots — of varying degrees of quality — flooded the market. The popularity of the wine became so [...]

Wine Term: Earthy

Date: Wed, Sep 17, 2008 Wine Tasting

Does this term mean the wine is 100% organic? Does it mean it’s “plain and simple in style”, or “plain in taste” as Merriam-Webster defines? No, no, and no. While a wine that is organic CAN be earthy, an earthy wine is not necessarily organic, and an earthy wine is often the opposite of plain [...]

White Wine Review: Simi Sauvignon Blanc

Date: Mon, Sep 15, 2008 Wine Tasting

Simi Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma County 2007 Usually when in the wine shop, I try to pick up a bottle (or vintage) that I’ve never tasted before — to me, exploration and discovering something new is what wine drinking is all about. Once in a while, though — and often when I’m purchasing a bottle for someone [...]

Rose Wine Review: Belleruche

Date: Wed, Sep 10, 2008 Wine Tasting

M. Chapoutier Cotes-du-Rhone “Belleruche” Rose 2007 Autumn is almost upon us in the US, but it’s still warm enough to enjoy pink wines. This one comes from the Cotes-du-Rhone in France, an area that’s better known for red wines that some describe as “bistro wines” for their ability to match with a variety of dishes found [...]
