The Winery at Bull Run

After driving 45 minutes to Chrysalis only to find out that I wasn’t on the work schedule, turned out to be a blessing for two reasons. One, it was hot as “Cooda Brown” outside. I have no idea who or what is “Cooda Brown”. It’s a childhood slang term that my cousins and I saidContinue reading “The Winery at Bull Run”

NO WATER PLEASE!

Hello All! I had a great time at Pearmund Cellars. It was Krystal’s first tasting, which I had the pleasure of pointing out the do not’s made by others; for example, eating crackers throughout your tasting and rinsing your glass with water after every wine. Big No-No!! I have issues with a Taster allowing thisContinue reading “NO WATER PLEASE!”

Battonage Transforms Chardonnay

Familia Cassone, Mendoza Argentina Varietal: 100% Chardonnay Aged 6 months in French Oak with Battonage I have to tell you that I had no intention of writing a review. I see that it is a Chardonnay. Chardonnay is Chardonnay. Then I placed the glass to my lips “OH MY GOD” immediately escaped my lips. THISContinue reading “Battonage Transforms Chardonnay”

BIG HOUSE Good Job!

My wrist hasn’t gotten better, it’s swelling. I’m trying to limit my typing and texting, but the voice recorder isn’t much help, it needs auto correct. I definitely need to invest in a dictation app. So, with that being said, following is another review that was previously written. Enjoy! 2010 Cardinal Zin Beastly Old Vines Continue reading “BIG HOUSE Good Job!”

Wine… For When Precious Moments Aren’t So Precious

Since my right hand is in a splint, I decided to share a review from 11-11-10. Balgownie Estate Cab Sauvignon, Australian Typically, I don’t taste a wine for the first time feeling stressed and disappointed. This horrible mood is due to my tween’s behavior. Inhale.. Exhale… I’m trying to calm myself and all I couldContinue reading “Wine… For When Precious Moments Aren’t So Precious”

White Zin “Snob”

“White Zin Snob” I have to tell everyone that I was total wine snob. I went out for drinks with some colleagues. I was asked to order a glass of…wait for it…wait for it…”White Zinfandel”! My colleague continued to say “Ask them what kind they have”. (Mouth wide open) I said, “What?” She looked atContinue reading “White Zin “Snob””

2008 Shaya Verdejo Old Vines

2008 Shaya Verdejo Old Vines I opened a bottle of Shaya Verdejo. Out of habit, I examine the cork and see tartrates. I’ve seen this with red wine, a first with white wine. If you see crystallization on the cork and/or around the opening of the bottle, it doesn’t mean the wine is bad. SO DON’T POURContinue reading “2008 Shaya Verdejo Old Vines”

Red Wine, Is It Really Good For You??

Red Wine, Is It Really Good For You?? First, let me say that I’m sure there is research that counters Dr. Joseph’s research. I rather not discuss that since it doesn’t fit my agenda, which is expressing my love for red wine. I’m talking about the full-bodied, firm tannins red wine. 🙂 Resveratrol , theContinue reading “Red Wine, Is It Really Good For You??”

2010 Willowcroft Farms Vineyards Chardonnay Cold Steel

2010 Willowcroft Farms Vineyards Chardonnay Cold Steel – OMG! The words literally escape my lips from the aroma of this wine. Fruity aromas, a slight effervescent, mmmm… this taste like a delicious Sparkling Wine with tropical, kiwi flavors & slight creamy finish. Very Nice!
