I’m on an e-mail list called “The 30 Second Wine Advisor” that I enjoy...I tend to agree with the reviews from it, but a lot of times I just...

A red label, a hammer and sickel, and a photo of Trotsky...oh yes, it’s Runaway Red. Even at $15, this label was too funny to pass up. Cap...

This is what’s known as Super-Tuscan. Basically, a Chianti on steroids: 60% Sangiovesse (the typical Chianti varietal) 30% Cabernet Sauvig...

A blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Muller-Thurgau, Semillon, Muscat, Gewurtztraminer, and Sylvaner–-most “blends” con...

I was perusing this food message board and a few people were speaking very highly of Costco’s private label wine, Kirkland. The thing that ...

This is an odd review to write. Most of the wine we buy and review are things we’ve either tried, come with strong reviews from people who...

Lychee and apricot on the nose. It’s fruity–peaches/stone fruit but not all that sweet, I get lots of floral notes and a reasonable amount o...

This one was going for $8 and came with praise from a friend of mine so I figured I’d pick it up. The nose hits you with alcohol–not too sho...

This was the most expensive new Beaujolais the local shop had, retail was $15 but since I was there the first day it was $12. It’s amazing h...

This is Francis Coppola’s winery’s sparkling wine named after his daughter Sofia. It comes wrapped in pink cellophane, a good marketing gi...

The third Thursday of November is the day Beaujolais Nouveau comes out...a fruity wine that really shouldn’t be aged more than a few months,...

Thought I’m not a football guy, I am a huge fan of Bill Swerski. So, when I heard Ditka was putting his name on a series of wine, I didn’t ...

Negroamaro is a varietal from Italy that you don't see often for one reason or another. This is our third Negroamaro wine and it's ...
