Stealing Wine, Food and Money

Date: Sun, Sep 5, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Perhaps. But when someone is making money by stealing our wine reviews, pairings, recipes and photographs of food and wine, we have to take issue with it. We addressed this topic at the Wine Bloggers Conference during Wine Blogging 101. A number of would-be and new bloggers [...]

Wine Review: Alexandria Nicole Cellars Quarry Butte

Date: Wed, Aug 25, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Often we visit a tasting room, love a wine, and purchase bottles to ship home, only to find that once at home, the wine does not live up to the tasting room experience.  This was certainly not the case with the 2008 Quarry Butte from Alexandria Nicole Cellars, a red blend crafted from their Estate [...]

Five people I’d like to share a bottle with

Date: Sat, Aug 14, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

I am going to send a question out to a bunch of wine folks over time and then print the answers here, but figured I’d take a shot at it first in case everyone thinks it is a stupid idea and ignores me. The question is: What five people, living or dead, would you like [...]

Speaking of White Wine: Olson Ogden Marsanne

Date: Wed, Aug 4, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

When Margaret Ryan at Olson Ogden Wines contacted us about their newest release last Spring, I was delighted to learn it was a white Rhône blend. We really enjoyed the Olson Ogden Wines‘ Pinot Noir and Rhône varietals we had tasted, so we were pretty confident that this one would not disappoint. It most certainly [...]

How to pair white wine with food

Date: Sun, Aug 1, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

I like to think that I treat wine like one should treat their children by never playing favorites. But the truth is that I am not capable. I truly prefer red wine to white wine. If served a white, even one of my favorites, when in the mood for a red I have a hard [...]

Which Came First: Plavac or Zinfandel?

Date: Thu, Jul 29, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

For at least two decards, it was thought that Plavac Mali was the ancestor, or Croatian counterpart of Zinfandel. Coincidentally, it is thought that Zinfandel arrived in California around 1852. And when, between 1890 and 1900 most of northern California's vineyards were destroyed by phylloxera, Zinfandel was among the survivors.

Falling Prey to Wine Rating Peer Pressure

Date: Mon, Jul 26, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

This is one of the reasons we at Another Wine Blog don't rate wines and very rarely tell you about the wines we don't like. We don't give points, or grades, or stars, or thumbs up or down. While we do pay attention to Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator and Stephen Tanzer, we figure most other ratings are pretty subjective. And we figure you have enough numbers and letters to think about without our adding to the mix.

Vinsanto, and some unconventional uses

Date: Sun, Jul 18, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

A little about Vinsanto On the island of Santorini they grow a small variety of grapes. Most of these have names that can be quite difficult for people like me to pronounce. Names like Xinomavro, Moschofilero, and Agiorghitiko do not exactly roll off of my tongue with ease. Then again, my native English has been known [...]
