Bogle Winery 2007. Think my taste buds are back. I've been having a few problems with red wines since finishing some prescribed meds a few weeks ago. No matter what was tried I was getting a very musty taste. opened a few old reliables thinking there must have been some bad bottles in the rack, but they turned out to be the same. MORE >>

The first one I opened was the Martellotto 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is 85% Cab/Sauv, 10% Merlot and 5% Syrah which gives it a nice fruity and peppery finish. The second bottle was an Agent for Change 2006 Zinfandel. Such was the case with one of the two wines received from Martellotto Wines. MORE >>

Instead, I uncorked an Arboleda Carmenère 2006 from the Colchagua Valley of Chile. The Arboleda Carmenère 2006 was purchased locally for $19 Vintage: 2006 Appellation: Chile Wine pH: 3.61 Wish I had a nice Canadian wine tonight so I could toast the Canadian Olympic Hockey Team on their winning of the Gold medal. Wine Acidity: 5.31 MORE >>

passed over many of my favorites before keeping out a Billsboro Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2008. Billsboro Winery was opened as Geneva's first winery in the spring of 2000 by Bob Pool and Jennifer Morris and is home to 26 acres of rolling hills, vineyards and forest. Billsboro Sauvignon Blanc can be ordered from the winery for $16. MORE >>

Recently, both Messrs Lurton and Audebert came to New York to introduce the fabulous 2006 vintage. Audebert and Lurton presented the 2006 vintage in a structured tasting that began with the 1999 vintage (the first for the winery) and continued on to the yet unreleased 2008. Work in the winery is more like fine tuning. MORE >>
