| | | | | WHY WINE BLOG AUGUST 13, 2010 Fontana Candida Frascati Superiore 2008 Getting time to clean out the old wine fridge. After two months of laying around, drinking coffee, tea, water and gatorade and laying off the good stuff I am beginning to feel the need for a long day of wine shopping, but the fridge is full and I will just have to do my part in making room for more.

WHY WINE BLOG | THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 2010  Silver Birch Sauvignon Blanc 2009 3L
have since tasted a Monthaven Chardonnay ( California) and this past week the Silver Birch Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand). Last March I posted a press release on a new collection of artisan wines in an innovative attractive new package. The Chardonnay was not impressive. Light and fruity with little oak was not what I expected from a CA Chard. MORE >> -
WHY WINE BLOG | MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 2010  Stoney Lonesome Estates, Reserve White Merlot 2008
at first opened a dry Riesling, but was astonished to find it loaded with acid and lacking any of the fruit or floral I was looking for to pair with the chicken.

The two wines we tasted were the 2008 Riesling and the 2008 ' dry' Riesling. This time, though, I paired with the ' dry' Riesling.

WHY WINE BLOG | MONDAY, MAY 24, 2010 Chateau Lafayette Reneau dry and semidry Riesling 2008
This turned out to be a little difficult for me to compare a dry I tasted this week to a semi- dry that I tasted six to eight months ago. This week I decided to open a dry and semi- dry from the same winery to compare and I chose one of the nicest Rieslings so far; Chateau Lafayette Reneau 2008. Why, I'm not sure. MORE >>
