Wine With Glee: June 2010

http://winewithglee.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 7, 2010. 2005 Château de Lyde Premières Côtes De Bordeaux. In my previous post. I mentioned that we've started getting some of our wine from the. On 2005 Château de Lyde. So the wife and I picked up a case mostly on account of having heard that 2005 was a good year for Bordeaux. Unfortunately it remains to be seen whether 2005 will be a good year for Château de Lyde. Nor Lichne's expanded list. So we're not dealing with one of the recognized crus, but at $190 a case that can certainly be ove...

Wine With Glee: (Looking For) 2009 Dark Corner Durif

http://winewithglee.blogspot.com/2010/12/looking-for-2009-dark-corner-durif.html

Sunday, December 5, 2010. Looking For) 2009 Dark Corner Durif. For all that it sometimes feels like cheating I'm generally very happy to have subscribed to the Wall Street Journal's wine club. A recent case brought us a random gem, the 2009 Dark Corner Durif. From Sam Trimboli. It's a nice, big red, with far more complexity than you'd expect from a relatively young wine. It A Google search. The bottle says that Dark Corner is imported by Lionstone International. But that seems to be a dead end as well&#4...

Wine With Glee: January 2010

http://winewithglee.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 8, 2010. The Wall Street Journal Wine Club. In a stroke of amazing coincidence (or a mere affirmation that we're really the same person) my co-conspirator and I gave each other cases of wine from the Wall Street Journal wine club. We're now in the process of determining whether this little experiment is worth continuing. There are a couple of factors which seem to be arguing in its favor at present:. And as much as $284.99 (the "Holidy Luxuries" mixed case of high-end stuff). Anyh...As I'...

Wine With Glee: June 2009

Thursday, June 18, 2009. Fun In Sonoma: Kendall-Jackson's Boutique Wineries. My co-conspirator and I spent the weekend in Sonoma where we got a chance to visit some of Kendall-Jackson's boutique wineries in the area. KJ isn't a name that I usually associate with quality wine, but it turns out that the smaller wineries in their portfolio, which aren't sold under the KJ name, are quite capable of turning out a high-end product. In particular we spent time at Hartford Family Winery. So, where to start?

Wine With Glee: October 2009

Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Wherein A Terrible Tragedy Leads To Experimentation. So this afternoon, when I found myself at the local Albertson's, I figured I'd pick up a couple of bottles just to tide me over. Albertson's isn't a place where I typically buy wine, since the available selections are usually safe and boring, but today I found something intriguing: Concannon Central Coast Petite Sirah Limited Relase 2006.

Wine With Glee: Balderdash, With Just A Hint of Poppycock

http://winewithglee.blogspot.com/2009/11/balderdash-with-just-hint-of-poppycock.html

Sunday, November 15, 2009. Balderdash, With Just A Hint of Poppycock. Allow me to make a confession: When I'm sampling a wine and the notes tell me that I should be getting hints of "mint, fresh apple, chilies, tobacco, and tar", but I taste none of these things, I often wonder if its just because my palette's no good. So it was enlightening to read yesterday's article in the. About problems with wine ratings. The same wine may receive markedly different descriptions from different judges. This is especi...

Wine With Glee: Today's Random Wine: 2009 Grande Reserve De Gassac

http://winewithglee.blogspot.com/2010/07/todays-random-wine-2009-grande-reserve.html

Monday, July 19, 2010. Today's Random Wine: 2009 Grande Reserve De Gassac. One of the amusing games you can play with French wines is trying to interpret the labels without the aid of a guide or inside knowledge. For example, the label on tonight's bottle bears the following phrases:. Grande Réserve De Gassac. Vin De Pays De L'Hérault. Par Cave de l'Ormarine GAG. If I wanted to tell someone what I'm drinking this evening what's the canonical way to go about doing so? Grande Réserve De Gassac: Producer.
