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 [...]

I will admit that I was skeptical when Brain Wines brought over a palate cleanser called SanTasti to try. I’d never tried one before, other than plain old water or bread.
We opened a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine. Each of us also poured a glass of water and a glass [...]

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 [...]

There are some places that I just haven’t been to in a while for no good reason. Wine Time is one of those places.
It was lunchtime and we had no food. I didn’t have a chance to get to the store before I had to pick La Jolla Girl up from [...]

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 [...]

I thought this was a very clever idea. These are coasters that you can hang on a bottle neck when you bring a bottle of wine to a party or give wine as a gift. This way, the hostess is likely to remember which bottle of wine is your contribution. On the back side of [...]

I know that a lot of people still equate a screw cap with poor quality wine. That really isn’t so much the case anymore. Living in Hong Kong, we drank a ton of New Zealand wines (lower import duties made them less expensive) of all price ranges that had screw caps. New Zealand is one [...]

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 [...]
