Wine review: Stonecap Riesling 2007
The Wine Curmudgeon —
Authority: 124
The success of Chateau Ste. Michelles entry-level riesling , which has become amazingly popular , has convinced other wineries to step up efforts to produce and market their rieslings. Case in point is the Stonecap (about $12, sample ). The Washington state operation is the less-expensive winemaking sibling of ...12 hours ago -

Wine review: Yosemite Road Chardonnay NV
The Wine Curmudgeon —
Authority: 124
The Wine Curmudgeon really, really wanted to like this wine, which is one of the two, new $4 private label wines from 7-Eleven . But, unfortunately, it tastes like $4 wine. This means the Yosemite Road ( purchased ) doesnt have enough varietal character -- the green apple and pear flavors that chardonnay is supposed ...3 days ago -

Wine of the week: Jim Jim Shiraz 2007
The Wine Curmudgeon —
Authority: 124
The Wine Curmudgeon is not a big fan of shiraz. The excessively fruity, alcoholic, inky style that is popular in the U.S. is almost undrinkable to those of us who see wine as a complement to a meal and not as an endurance contest. Thats why, when I find a wine like the Jim Jim (about $12, sample ), Im always ...5 days ago -

From: Adelaide Hills, Australia Price: $40 marked down to $19.99 “Last Call” Most so-called wine experts will tell you that nearly 95% of the wines made nowadays are meant to be consumed within one to three years of their labels’ “born-on-date”, or vintage. Unfortunately for wine ...6 days ago -
Wine review: Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2008
The Wine Curmudgeon —
Authority: 124
New Zealand sauvignon blanc has become justly famous over the past decade, and many of us who pay attention to these things consider it to be the best sauvignon blanc in the world. The wines are fresh, well-made, food friendly and almost always deliver value. (And most of them use a screwcap, too.) And Spy Valley may ...1 week ago -

2008 Menage a Trois White
Surrealmuse Studios —
Authority: 99
This Menage a Trois White is a well crafted blend of Chardonnay, Moscato and Chenin Blanc. It is a lighter, playful and delicious wine that suggests all sorts of games. It is great in hot weather on the beach, or on an autumn Florida evening that feels like perfection. It is not a deep wine to read poetry to, but ...1 week ago -

Wine of the week: Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2008
The Wine Curmudgeon —
Authority: 124
The Wine Curmudgeon has been drinking this wine for about as long as he has been drinking wine professionally. About the only thing that has changed in the past couple of decades is that the cork has been replaced by a screwcap (and regular visitors here know how welcome a change that is). The Geyser Peak (about ...1 week ago -

From: South Africa Price: $8.79 Full Disclosure : I openly admit that I am personally not a big fan of most red wines from South Africa, especially Pinotage. Why my beef with South African red wines you ask? Because most that I’ve tasted over the years are just way too smoky for my ...1 week ago -

The Rodney Strong Single Vineyard Program
Good Grape: A Wine Manifesto —
Authority: 121
In the second year of the single vineyard designate program from Rodney Strong I’ve learned something very important: these wines (two released so far, with a third on the way), while provocative with a come-hither look, are far too young to drink now and are much better on the second day; they’re kind of like, ...1 week ago -
