The Chicago Wino: When life hands you grapes make wine
http://www.thechicagowino.com/2015/04/when-life-hands-you-grapes-make-wine.html
When life hands you grapes make wine. We’ve all heard the old adage when life hands you lemons, make lemonade…or in my case, when life throws grapes at you, make some wine! Life doesn’t always follow the blueprint we planned for ourselves, because as we know, even the best-laid plans often go awry! I was having one of those roller-coaster kind of days recently so when the chaos was finally setting with the sun, I decided to relax and treat myself to a bottle I had tucked away.

The Chicago Wino: Shatter, 2011
http://www.thechicagowino.com/2015/05/shatter-2011.html
They created a wine named Shatter and with it being 100% Grenache and 15.9% alcohol content, I knew this would be big! Through and through. Big hearty red meat dishes, sausages, or lamb would be great accompaniments, or just noshing on some cheddar and gouda cheeses would work with this wine as well. Like you’d expect with Batman and Superman, Dave and Joel prevailed in the end and won with this bottle. Shatter, 2011. Was a pretty delicious wine and an experience in itself. Subscribe to RSS Feed.

The Chicago Wino: Happy Belated World Malbec Day!
http://www.thechicagowino.com/2015/06/happy-belated-world-malbec-day.html
Happy Belated World Malbec Day! There is a National/International Day for just about anything; Doughnuts, Nurses, No Socks, (OK, that’s a little weird) so yes, why not an International Malbec Day which was on April 17. With that in mind it’s often people either love or dislike Malbec - I rarely find someone in the middle. I have tasted some pretty awful and some amazing Malbec in my day. Trumpeter Malbec, 2012.
