https://www.redwineplease.com/two-wines-may-2013/ Two more wines tried here, and two more reviewed. One is another of the 2003 Bordeaux from the cellar, and while good this did not overwhelm me. The other is a very good everyday kind of wine, and every vintage of it we have tried has been worth buying. Here they are: Wine: 2003 Chateau Continue reading Two Wines – May 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/great-value-wine-available/ This blog is about a great value wine we ran across recently. A lot of times, when we write about one of these it was on a sale shelf and we’ve cleaned it out, so you can’t buy any (sorry about that, but hey – you’d do the same). That is not the case this Continue reading Great Value Wine – Available! https://www.redwineplease.com/two-new-wines-april-2013/ Here are two new wines we tried recently. One is a very nice Ventoux and the other a good Meritage from Sonoma. They’re both worth buying, but one to me is clearly superior for the money, and they both cost the same so it’s an easy comparison. The wines: note there is no picture of Continue reading Two New Wines – April 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/three-new-wines-early-april-2013/ Here are three new wines for consideration. Two California cabs (lower priced) and a Rosso di Montalcino from Tuscany. While I hate to play the spoiler this particular Rosso fell far short of normal expectations. The cabs were good though, and represent value at their respective price points. The wines: Wine: 2007 Casanuova Rosso Continue reading Three New Wines – Early April 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/a-newer-wine-and-an-older-one/ Two more wines to talk about here, consumed sometime in March. One is a newer Ribero del Duero from Spain, the other a great wine from the 2003 Bordeaux vintage, and that vintage is drinking exceptionally well right now. Here they are: 2009 Casajus and 2003 La Tour Carnet Wine: 2009 Casajus Ribero Continue reading A Newer Wine and an Older One https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-of-the-week-feb-6-8-2013/ Two new wines were opened, as well as a surprise, and the results were mixed. One we didn’t like, and I think I know why. The other wine was on a sale rack for $6.99 and is an incredible bargain at that price point, and I do mean incredible. The surprise was good and fun. Continue reading Wines of the Week, Feb 26-28, 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/a-nice-classic-bordeaux/ On my birthday we opened a nice bottle of Bordeaux. This wasn’t one of the big hitters, coming from a smaller chateau in Listrac, as well as being from a less heralded vintage. This was a 2004 Chateau Clarke, and it is pretty classic Bordeaux in every way. 2004 is sandwiched right between the excellent Continue reading A Nice, Classic Bordeaux https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-of-the-week-feb-21-23-2013/ Another week goes by, and the time flies. The wines we’ll review this week were OK, not great, but just OK. Here’s the wine: Wine: 2010 Concannon Cabernet Sauvignon Winery Location: California Tasted By: Neil & Cheri Date: Feb 21-23, 2013 Tasting Notes: Deep purple in color, this has a big nose of black Continue reading Wines of the Week, Feb 21-23, 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-of-the-week-feb-15-16-2013/ This week two new wines, and we’ll be sticking with Cabernet Sauvignon this time. One was very good and pretty appropriately priced, the other had very little to offer and got a resounding thumbs down from both Cheri and myself. here they are: 2010 Chateau Smith and 2011 Line 39 Here are the Continue reading Wines of the Week, Feb 15-16, 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-to-blizzard-by-feb-8-10-2013/ I remember well the Blizzard of 1978. I was in high school, and without the sophisticated computer models we have now the blizzard caught everyone by surprise. It started snowing and never stopped. Let out early from school we managed to get home four hours later after quite an ordeal. School was cancelled for a Continue reading Wines to Blizzard By – Feb 8-10, 2013 |
