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 [...]

As I’m attending the Paso Robles Wine Country 2010 Grand Tasting Tour today, I thought it would be appropriate to mention a Paso Wine, even if it’s not one of my favorites (though I liked it). This one was recommended by the staff at San Diego Wine Company. I paid $12.95 there, however, [...]

I don’t remember why this red blend wine wound up in the cart but it was purchased at San Diego Wine Company for $9.95. I did ask an employee for recommendations but we wound up with so many different bottles it was hard for me to keep track. I did manage to walk out with [...]

Iran into BevMo the other day and saw this Lodi Zinfandel wine, but forgot to buy it. Thankfully, Brain Wines brought it over last night because he also heard it was good.
Right now, it’s marked down from $15.99 to $9.99 if you are a ClubBev member. If you’re not a ClubBev member, it’s free to [...]

Most of our wine reviews tend to lean toward the positive because as a rule, we try very hard not to buy bad wine. I’m sure that most PR companies also try not to send bad wine as well. Thankfully, these two forces combined prevent us from tasting too many lemons.
However, in the interest of [...]

The server was there and suggested this Walnut City Wineworks Pinot Noir. It was a good choice. I laughed when [...]

I did not have my wine shopping wits about me, but found myself tired at 8:30am in the wine section at VONS, La Jolla. I was preparing for a gaggle of friends plus kids to spill over to my house after a bottomless champagne brunch. With that in mind, I wasn’t quite sure what to [...]

OK, so I know I’ve been little heavy on the Luna but this…was…good. I knew it was going to be good so I was anxious to drink it. I haven’t had a bad Luna wine, as you can tell, whether it was sent to me complimentary or purchased myself. This one was gratis, but normally [...]

I haven’t been able to get over to San Diego Wine Company recently. I went the week before Christmas and am so glad I did. I forgot how fabulous their deals on wine are. It’s not a big place, but they have a knack for stocking good stuff. I bought so much wine that I [...]

I ran into Bevmo in a major hurry the other day. I had no time to look and didn’t have anything particular in mind so I asked for a recommendation. The guy stocking bottles in the Cabernet Sauvignon aisle said “uh, this one”, turned his back, and didn’t follow it up with anything else. So, I bought [...]
