Wine-blogging Wednesdays: Music + wineWe wanted to try several wines for Wine Blogging Wednesday (WBW), so we started with Champagne from Georges Lacombe. The Grande Cuvee is a tart, food-needy Champers. It’s bright, floral, with coarse bubbles. There are other bubbles that you can get for this price ($25) that might score higher, but this is […] { 1 comment } |

Tipsy on Oro de Castlilla Verdejo 2008Brunch wine: 10-1 pm. Spritz with Grapefruit out the “wazoo.” Quite lovely, really. Again, a morning wine—would go wonderfully w/frittata. Smells like yeast and sunshine. Celery. It’s a “got up Sunday morning and spent too much money on shoes wine.” The shoes are open-toed w/heels. { 0 comments } |

Ridge 2005 and 2006 Geyserville - My first verticalRidge wines are special to me. When I was first learning to taste wine about a year-and-a-half ago, I had my first a-ha moment with wine while drinking a wine from Ridge.

Old World style white wines from AvanguardiaIf you look around you can find a small group of American wineries that are not following the crowd or the critics. Instead, these wineries are following the grapes to produce individual, authentic wines. I really enjoy finding these wines and sharing them with friends. Recently, we received a sample of wines […] { 0 comments } |

Great values for Easter winesIt’s hotter than a “modie-fo” here in Austin, Texas, and it isn’t even EASTER for crying out loud. You may ask yourself what is a “modie-fo?” Well, it’s just a made up word of mine that I bet you can figure out all on your own. Anyhow, the point is that we […] { 1 comment } |
