Favorite
- Red Wine with Fish » Grenache Tasting
- 2002 Deisen Barossa Grenache ($30) My favorite. ...2005 Koehler Grenache Estate - Santa Ynez Valley ($20) This was my second favorite. ...2006 Bodegas Borsao Garnacha ($15) Lots of people’s favorite...
- My New Favorite Wine
- This is one of the smoothest, best tasting wines I have ever had. We are definitely going to buy more Ruffino Chianti 2005.
- Trotanoy
- ...this young sample reminded me of the 1998 Trotanoy, one of my favorite Pomerols of the past 20 years.
- LENNDEVOURS: Diploma Dispatches: Rhône Wines
- My favorite red varietal is Syrah, and no one does it better. We tasted two iconic wines, Guigal’s Côte Rôtie “Brune et Blonde” 2003 and Jaboulet Hermitage “La Chapelle” 1996
- A Tuscan Tasting
- ...this event had some great producers and some terrific wines were poured. Here are some of my impressions: ...One of my favorite wines from the tasting was the 2006 La Parrina Ansonica Costa dell'Argentario ($13), which had sea spray, floral, and citrus aromas and flavors.
- Bench Grafts: Pinotblogger wine links
- New website Rules of Thumb has a wine section. My favorite rule of thumb: “A winery’s standards start to slip if it produces more than 50,000 cases of wine per year,” by Chalone founder and COO Dick Graff.
- The Best of Wine IMPORTERS!! Part Two
- ...my favorite wine importers, currently. The premise is simple. Think cheat-sheet for wine 'pickens'...
- De Long Wine Moment » Are Oaked Wines Naff*?
- My own mother - whose favorite wine is White Zinfandel (ouch! God knows I tried) – will insist on her preference for dry wine even though each sip of White Zin betrays it. Is sweet wine really that embarrassing? Will drinking it get you banished from polite society?
- Cono Sur's Organic Cab-Carmenere :: Chile
- At $10-$12 a bottle, it’s my new favorite “every day red.” The fact that the grapes are grown and the wine produced organically is a plus.

- Sink or Swim with Gruner Veltliner
- Of the Federspiels, my personal favorite was the Alzinger... So it was another wine, a more accessible wine that was my favorite of the night. The Nikolaihof Im Weingebirge Smaragd...

- 2007 Washington Wine Favorites
- ...here are my favorites of 2007
- Merlot-quacious!
- Taster A and I decided it was time to remind ourselves what Merlot was all about with a horizontal tasting of three Merlots from Sonoma County. We opened three very nice single-vineyard bottles, and compared them side-by-side. All had typically soft tannins, plumy nose, and subdued character. Of course, we did wind up with our favorites.
- Another Year… « spume
- A couple of the wine selections I’m excited about drinking while celebrating my birthday: Domaine de la Pepière 2006 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie (one of my all time favorite party wines); Peillot’s 2004 Altesse Rousette du Bugey; and Domaine de Sablonnettes 2004 Anjou “Les Genêts”.
- La Mission-Haut-Brion
- 100 points Parker: "I am certainly not going to argue with anyone who believes La Mission-Haut-Brion's 1989 is every bit as profound as the 1989 Haut-Brion. It is a spectacular wine, and as it ages in the bottle, it is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite...
- Wine Tasting and The Chain Gang Gourmet Cycling Tours
- ...my favourite is the dessert wine from Chateau Puy Servain in Haut Montravel, near Ste Foy la Grande in the Dordogne valley.
