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…

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…
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…

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…
Copycat
Copycat Temparillo. Blueberry and cocoa on the nose originally mellow to smoke and licorice. First taste immediately on open was a little sharp but only needed 5 minutes or so of breathing to become mellow and smooth on the finish. A medium bodied plum and licorice palate, with only a slightly dry finish. And this label!!…
March Wine Box – Coming Soon!!
I’ve got a new box of wine coming from Club W on March 7!!! I picked 4 wines this time, which is one of the things I love about the service: you always pick at least 3 bottles, but you can add as many as you want if three is not going to last you…
