Almost all that I had ever tasted were the Shiraz from Australia. While visiting Damiani Wine Cellars on Seneca Lake this past spring I tasted an excellent Syrah and I was sold. Then again maybe I just have to taste a few more and that's not a bad thing now, is it? From that day on I was a fan. MORE >>

To do so, I will have to taste, I mean drink, more wines that I never tried or wines I just never liked. That was not until I tasted and reviewed a Paso Robles Zin from Agent for Change. More intense than the last Zin I tasted and liked, but still not as bold or peppery as most I've had. It just never happened. Alcohol 14.5% MORE >>

did stop at one and tasted their 2007 Meritage. say that because my luck has never been too good when tasting at a market or street fair and buying what I thought was an OK wine at the time. Treleaven Meritage 2007 produced and bottled by King Ferry Winery in King Ferry NY was exactly what was needed for the steak. MORE >>

Aroma's were more floral like roses or hyacinths with a bit of peach and the taste was a little more fruity and dry. Every Friday and Saturday after work, a few friends and I visit our favorite lounge for some great food off the bar menu and to down a few glasses(maybe more than a few) of wine. Finally, he has listened to his dad. Great Buy! MORE >>

The past few months I have been tasting, or should I say consuming, some really fantastic California wines from many different AVA's. Tonight I am enjoying a Petite Sirah from the Livermore Valley, a Concannon Convservancy 2007. The 2007 is the first vintage from the new Conservancy program and is available nationally. must buy!
