Not a sophisticated connoisseur. just enjoy a good wine. for a good price. Saturday, September 17, 2011. Great wines - but no postings. I've had several nice wines since my last post, but I just haven't done the reviews yet. I went to Boston in between Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, and school has started but do I care? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We've had a major change. Last year we picked up and moved from Virginia to Washington. Now I live 15 minutes from my Washington grandson....I've been...

Not a sophisticated connoisseur. just enjoy a good wine. for a good price. Saturday, May 28, 2011. I just read that Sangiovese is the grape that's used in Chianti. Chianti is the name of the region in Tuscany in Italy where they grow sangiovese, and it's the ONLY grape used in Chianti. It's used to add to blends of other wines. Read this from Wikipedia. And this information from the Anti-Wine Snob blog. Getting caught up for April and May. Granny and Boston Boys. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I've been neg...

Veni, Vidi, Vino: August 2007
http://changewaterintowine.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Veni, Vidi, Vino. Wine, cuisine, viticulture, enology, art. Thursday, August 30, 2007. 2003 Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel. Grape: Old Vine Zinfandel. The significance of "Old Vines" is spiciness. This wine is spicy. A Zinfandel made from 35 year old vines is just starting it’s journey into becoming spicy. A 100 year old vine doesn’t produce a lot of grapes, but the product is very spicy. The problem is lack of regulation. Thursday, August 30, 2007. Tuesday, August 21, 2007. Winery: Concha y Toro. Requested I ...

Not a sophisticated connoisseur. just enjoy a good wine. for a good price. Saturday, August 13, 2011. I was just doing a little research on Kabinett wines. When posting my notes about the Langguth Erben Kabinett, I looked at my other German wines and noticed that the Huxelrebe. Had "kabinett" on the label. Got my curiosity going and I found it on Wikipedia. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Price: Less than $10. From the Franz Wilhelm Langguth winery in Germany. Here is a link to their Erben wines. You can see ...

Not a sophisticated connoisseur. just enjoy a good wine. for a good price. Friday, December 14, 2012. Born July 11, 2012 in Anchorage. 8 lbs, 20-1/4" long. Well I can't believe that I haven't posted a picture or announcement about my 5th grandson yet. What kind of a Granny can I be? Here is 5-month old Callum. I couldn't be there for his birth like I was for Declan's, but they came to visit in October. I'll be planning a trip as soon as possible. Gaetano D'Aquino Chianti Riserva 2008. 6 from Trader Joe's.

Not a sophisticated connoisseur. just enjoy a good wine. for a good price. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Date: June 21, 2011. We visited this Virginia winery today and were very impressed. After tasting, we ate lunch in their restaurant and as we left, bought two bottles of the Heritage (red) - and even joined their wine club! Following are the wines we tasted. We "felt" our wine after tasting so many - it was a good idea to eat before getting behind the wheel! A Bordeaux-style blend (50% Merlot, 25% Caberne...

Well, I'm loving retirement. Don't know how I ever had time to work. I have five grandsons - 2 in Boston, 2 in Anchorage, and 1 in Washington. They keep me busy flying around the country to see them. I have kept up with reading and drinking wine over the past couple of years, even though I haven't done any writing!

Not a sophisticated connoisseur. just enjoy a good wine. for a good price. Monday, June 25, 2012. I've finally caught up with my wines. I didn't take pictures of all the wines I've had, so a few have to go unmentioned. And I couldn't really review the wines I drank so long ago, but I still remembered enough to recommend or not. I'll do better in the future at posting wines shortly after enjoying them. Rose and Riesling - June 24, 2012. St Supery Rose 201 1. St Supery Rose 2011. Labels: $10 or less. The M...

Granny's Wine Blog: Pinot Grigio - Kirkland Fruili 2013
http://grannywine.blogspot.com/2014/06/pinot-grigio-kirkland-fruili-2013.html
Not a sophisticated connoisseur. just enjoy a good wine. for a good price. Sunday, June 29, 2014. Pinot Grigio - Kirkland Fruili 2013. Another of my recent "cheap wine" discoveries. This pinot grigio is light and crisp, with pear and peach, and is perfect for summer. Great all by itself, or with fruit and cheese - I like it with grapes and brie. And the price is only $6.99 a bottle if I remember correctly. I've decided that I can't go wrong with Kirkland wines. Labels: $10 or less. I've been neglecting t...
