Stoner Cellars Tasting Notes. Thoughts about wines I've tasted. Saturday, March 13, 2004. 2001 Allan Scott Marlborough Pinot Noir. Refreshing little pinot noir. From New Zealand. I've long loved NZ sauvignon blancs, so I'm delighted to see some of their reds making to the East Coast. And there are some similarities: fresh, vibrant flavors explode in your mouth with with crisp (or even sharp) acidity. It's not as serious or portent-filled as an Oregon pinot noir, but it doesn't intend to be. Ruby-purple i...

Stoner Cellars Tasting Notes: Raise a glass to the Supremes.

Stoner Cellars Tasting Notes. Thoughts about wines I've tasted. Wednesday, May 18, 2005. Raise a glass to the Supremes. Monday's Supreme Court ruling in the wine shipment cases. News, at least in the limited context that the Court didn't uphold the status quo of different treatment for in-state and out-of-state wineries. But it wasn't. Contrary to some of the reports I heard immediately after the ruling, it does not. And the ruling is. You'd be out of luck. Raise a glass to the Supremes.

50 Things you’ve been dying to know about me I…. 50 Things you’ve been dying to know about me. I’ve caught another blogovirus. Who knows where these questions originated, but I guess they’re as good as any. Your name spelled backwards: ALAM. Where were your parents born? What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? What’s your favorite restaurant? This is a tough question. Ummmmmm well, in DC my favorite is DC Coast. In Providence, it’s Ten. Last time you swam in a pool? Not sure yet 2?

Stoner Cellars Tasting Notes. Thoughts about wines I've tasted. Tuesday, December 16, 2003. So you want to own a vineyard. From time to time, I muse as to what I'd do if I won the lottery. I've got one friend who says he'd buy a vineyard. This article is for him. Then It talks about some of the difficulties of starting up a winery as a retirement venture/hobby: working all day in the vineyard, capital demands, marketing problems. Would I buy a vineyard?

Stoner Cellars Tasting Notes. Thoughts about wines I've tasted. Thursday, May 27, 2004. The NY Times reviews India Pale Ales. And does a fair job of it, although no better than fair. They give some history of India Pale Ales - accurate, to my knowledge - and then review some. The NY Times reviews India Pale Ales. Carolina Wine Company, Raleigh. View my complete profile.

Stoner Cellars Tasting Notes: Wine tasting.

Stoner Cellars Tasting Notes. Thoughts about wines I've tasted. Monday, October 25, 2004. This weekend I conducted a 12-person winetasting for some friends, as a belated wedding present. They asked for “Virginia wines” with some additional limitations (not many Central Virginia wineries, as they’d done a lot of weekend wine touring this summer and wanted to try wines from other parts of the state). The lineup I chose was:. Chrysalis Vineyards 2002 Viognier. Jefferson Vineyards 2003 Johannesburg Riesling.
