For lower priced sparkling wines, think outside of France

I like sparkling wines. Bubbles are fun. Sparklers are made in just about every wine producing region, however, when they come from the Champagne region they come with a lot of history, tradition, and excessive profit margins! I love Champagnes, but with the price for most cuvees starting north of $30, they […]

Since we are not going to make the European Wine Bloggers Conference, we have been trying Portuguese wine – not that it will make-up for the fun we will be missing, but we had to do something. This weekend we tried a couple of bottles of Vinho Verde. Vinho Verde is a light, […]

With the economy continuing to struggle, interest in wines under $15 has exploded.
WineEnabler.com has tried to keep pace with this trend, so we were thrilled when I was asked to meet winemaker Adam Richardson, International wine director for Underdog Wine Merchants. Adam was in Austin to promote his latest venture with Underdog, Cupcake Vineyards. […]

This is our new favorite house wine for just about any dish! You know, I always only thought of Beaujolais Nouveau, which is produced once a year in France around October or November and is generally associated with Thanksgiving here in the U.S. But low and behold, I was missing out. Beaujolais is […]

On Friday evening after a long week, I can’t think of anything better than topping off your week with a bottle of bubbly. We just happened to have a Monopole Blue Top Champagne Brut by Heidsieck & Company that retails for a mere $29.99. I know it is a non-vintage, but the taste […]

by Kathy on September 27, 2009

To sum it up in one word – “SUMPTIOUS!” That is what Clos Marion 2005 “Fixin” Grand Vin de Bourgogne tastes like to me. WOW – what a wine! It shouts strawberry fields forever with a hint of cherries and tobacco to remind us ex-smokers out there of what we miss sometimes. […]

Post category: Our Wine BlogWine Tastings
by Kathy on September 10, 2009

Since we have pretty much determined that we are not going to be able to go to the Wine Bloggers Conference in Portugal this year, I decided we should at least taste some of the wines from that region. So, I picked out a couple at the Austin Wine Merchant this past weekend and […]

by Michael on July 15, 2009

Well, it’s July in Texas, and we’re nearing our 30th day over 100 degrees. In weather like this, red wine seems like an enemy, and all I want to drink is white or rose. As such, we’ve been trying a fair amount of cheap whites as a nighttime beverage.
One of my favorites so […]

A wine-filled prelude to birthday celebrations

I must admit — I like my birthday! I know some people dread their birthdays and are all hum glum because they are a year older and are showing it, perhaps, in a physical fashion, so they tend be depressed about them. I, on the other hand, look forward to my birthday and, […]
