If you are looking for a sweet pink wine, this one is not for you. And I am all the happier for it! I love me some dry rosè and this new (to the US market) trend is making my inner French wine snob teary-eyed with joy. Lovely dry Malbec rose. Pairs beautifully with spicy…
October – Halloween Wines
I know…I’m late…Halloween has already passed. But I want you to know how hard I tried to suck down all these bottles in the 10 days between when I bought them and Halloween. My liver is still recovering. These wines were purchased solely for the Halloween themed name or label, and trust me, it wasn’t…
2015 Wildest Dreams White Blend
Pale gold in color, crisp and juicy. Grapefruit and lemon softens to apricot and white raspberry. A bit on the light, sweet side for me, but paired with shrimp scampi very well. So I know the bottle is empty, but even though it was a bit on the sweet side for me, not everyone who…
Bright Cellars Wine Club May 2016
Because one wine club wasn’t enough, I decided to join Bright Cellars wine club as well…surely those Harvard grads will be able to pick wines that match my palate, right? If they knew me, they would realize that, short of Boone’s Farm, my “palate” can put up with a lot! However, in lieu of traveling to…
Passarola Vinho Branco
Not too bad as a picnic white. A bit sweet for my normal taste, but refreshing and went fine with Chinese food I also really like the simple artwork on the label. Very Egyptian…or very Raiders of the Lost Ark, I can’t decide which one yet! Maybe Stargate? The color in the glass is more…
Supercluster
Light, tart, a bit harsh. Not sure about this “carbonic maceration” thing. Usually a Cabernet Franc fan, but not sure I’ll add this to my rotation. Super fun label though…reminds me of the SNL skit I just saw…Space Pants!!! With Peter Dinkledge and Gwen Stefani, I know!! And, if that wasn’t cool enough, on Saturday…
Lost Angel Pinot Noir
Well since my Club W delivery won’t get to me until Monday and I certainly can’t be expected to go through the weekend without wine, I stopped and picked up a couple of bottles at the store. Not too many choices based on label or name but I did find this Lost Angel Pinot Noir….
April Box – Coming Soon!!
I got notification from Club W that my April box has shipped!!! And its Friday, so overall…a pretty good day! I ordered 4 bottles again this month, and I was right last month, I was finished with the 4 bottles of March about a week ago. I’m not sure if I should up my order…
Fog Land Pinot Noir
Club W says of this wine, “Fog Land is classic Sonoma Pinot. It has an abundance of juicy red fruits, while still maintaining the subtleties that reflect the terroir of this area. To us, Fog Land tastes like cherry lollipops. It’s silky and polished but full of texture, and it certainly drinks like a much…
Meraki Cabernet Sauvignon
According to the Club W information that comes with the wine, “To achieve the ideal balance in Meraki, our wine team hand-picked and blended two different lots of Cabernet Sauvignon: one full-bodied and savory and the other fruit-forward. The wine fermented in stainless steel tanks and saw 30 percent new American oak for added structure and…
