I stopped by the SIP Certified table at the Paso Robles Grand Tasting Tour a few weeks ago. I hadn’t heard of it before, but knew it was something I’d be interested in learning more about. SIP Certified was developed by the Central Coast Vineyard Team, which is a network of farmers located in [...]

I was really hoping for a knock out here but wasn’t hopeful due to the $8.99 price tag. I bought it at Henry’s, intrigued by the Fair Trade aspect.
I’m struggling to fine detailed information on the exact bottle of wine I bought. Stellar Organics is the largest producer of organic wines in South Africa. I was shocked [...]

Back when I was more athletic, I ate my fair share of Clif Bars and LUNA Bars. The makers of these nutritous foods (Clif Bar & Company) are also behind the Clif Family Winery & Farm. I decided to write an entire post about the winery in general, because I know that quite a few La [...]

I am always on the hunt for a really good organic wine that is good enough to be served to guests. I’ve purchased quite a few and been more often disappointed than not. I do buy Organic Well Read Wine for La Jolla Dad to drink at home when we don’t feel like opening something [...]

This wine was an impulse buy at Bevmo. It had it’s own corner display and a tag about how it’s sustainably farmed. Great! I’ll take it. Wilfred Wong gave it a rating of 88. It’s on sale now for $8.99 at Bevmo but I think I paid a little bit more than that.
Parducci is a [...]

I bought this at Costco for $8.99. I wanted to try it, because as I mentioned in my Kim Crawford post, Marlborough sauvignon blancs are pretty reliable. I tried it and thought, yes this is good, but I like Oyster Bay (which at VONS right now at about the same price) and Kim Crawford better. At least, I think [...]

This can be found at Trader Joes for $5.99!
I was skeptical, but since it is organic, I bought it. The price made me nervous. La Jolla Dad and I drank it and both thought it was surprisingly good, for the price. Smooth without that sort of violent acidic thing that a lot of cheap wines have. [...]
