We’ve written articles in the past which focused on wine’s ability to change over time and with exposure to oxygen. You can read about one of those by clicking here. It can be quite dramatic with some wines, as they change their character, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. In this case we think it Continue reading Fruity and Intriguing Malbec from Pascual Toso https://www.redwineplease.com/good-value-merlot-from-sebastiani/ 
We picked up a few bottles of Merlot during a sale at our local grocery store last month, and mixed and matched between some names we knew and some we didn’t. The wine reviewed here is from a name we know well, and is an excellent value for the price. Wine: 2017 Sebastiani North Coast Continue reading Good Value Merlot from Sebastiani https://www.redwineplease.com/latest-vintage-wines-from-ron-rubin-winery/ 
Ron Rubin grew up with the wine industry and followed a love of wine to UC Davis in 1971 and 1972, studying viticulture and enology. Another 40 years would go by before Ron would realize his dream of owning and operating his own winery. We’ve reviewed previous vintages of Ron’s wines, and they were Continue reading Latest Vintage Wines From Ron Rubin Winery https://www.redwineplease.com/two-top-shelf-sauvignon-blancs/ 
Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favorite white wine grapes. It can produce crisp, everyday white wines that go great with food. For $10 – $15 you can find a very satisfactory bottle. Sauvignon Blanc can also do much more than that, and put top notch grapes in the hand of a master winemaker and Continue reading Two Top Shelf Sauvignon Blancs https://www.redwineplease.com/great-value-merlot-under-15/ 
Here is a rich, satisfying red wine with some complexity and structure. It sports an excellent price as well. This is one to try, and is worth buying more than one. Wine: 2018 Chloe Merlot San Lucas Vineyard Winery Location: Livermore CA Tasted By: Neil & Cheri Date: June 2021 Tasting Notes: the grapes Continue reading Great Value Merlot Under $15 https://www.redwineplease.com/juicy-new-zealand-pinot-noir/ 
The Central Otago region of New Zealand, on the South Island, has developed quite a name for itself when it comes to Pinot Noir. Here we have a bottle to judge for ourselves, and let’s see if this lives up to the hype. This one got lost for a while in the back of the Continue reading Juicy New Zealand Pinot Noir https://www.redwineplease.com/summer-sparkler-time/ 
It’s full blown Springtime, which means it is soon to be Summertime. While we enjoy sparkling wine all year round, some do consider a chilled bottle of bright, tiny bubbles as something ideally suited to warmer weather. Whatever works is our motto. And what frequently works in any weather is a good bottle of Prosecco. Continue reading Summer Sparkler Time https://www.redwineplease.com/top-shelf-australian-shiraz/ 
Here’s a pretty classic bottle of Australian Shiraz, from a well known name. Shiraz (the same grape known as Syrah in most of the world) makes a big red wine. In the Rhone you would expect meaty, savory notes with spice and black plum. In Australia you can get different profiles, but it is still Continue reading Top Shelf Australian Shiraz https://www.redwineplease.com/italian-red-wine-value-under-12/ 
Sometimes you just want a delicious, all around pleasing red wine. It doesn’t need to be world class, it doesn’t have to be super complex. You’re not really looking for something cerebral, nothing that you’re going to ponder and discuss with someone. You just want a good glass of wine, maybe something you can drink Continue reading Italian Red Wine Value Under $12 https://www.redwineplease.com/beautiful-fruit-in-this-australian-syrah/ 
We love wines that have a pure, focused core of fruit, the kind that runs through the middle of the wine and doesn’t stop. Sometimes it is a wide stream, sometimes it is the Mississippi. You know it when you taste it, and it is a beautiful thing. This wine has that characteristic. Let’s take Continue reading Beautiful Fruit in this Australian Syrah |
