BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE FEBRUARY 2, 2012  Tidbits Been busy and not able to write as often, but please don't think that means I've been starving and not drinking anything interesting. Some wine too. | | | WHY WINE BLOG JANUARY 30, 2012 Siro Pacenti Rosso Di Montalcino 2008 Sometimes Shirley just picks the wrong time to do one of her signature dishes.

Okay, only about five years late on this. But, thanks to site reader Quizicat drawing a parallel to our recent discussion of moscato , I’ve learned that I missed an episode of “30 Rock” where wine featured prominently.

Awesome! Very highly recommended. MORE >> -

VIGNA UVA VINO | SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 2012  Cupcake Vineyards Central Coast Merlot 2009
Sourced from vineyards in the Central Coast region, Cupcake Vineyards brings this California Merlot to the table for a mere $10 price tag but it's definitely worth way more. Supple tannins but smooth and attractive with a matching finish. Really like this as an every day Merlot. MORE >>
