The Irrational Purchase of St Emilion

Reviews

I have a problem with authority. Yeah, I bleached my hair and defied my school dress code to exactly the calculated degree of defiance that’d piss people off but not get me told off. But that’s not what I mean. I have a problem with being arbitrarily dictated to, sure. But I also have a problem with dictating. You see, I’m not a r

NV Pizzolato Fields Prosecco Brut Organic

Reviews

I knew this would be a fun buy – Organic Prosecco at Costco for $8.99; it’s hard to go wrong.  And this bottle is exactly what you’d expect.  I don’t see much of a reason to go further upstream from here for an every day bubbly.Nice fruit; citrus flavors, apple, pear. Dry finish as expected, very crisp and refreshing.  Aweso

Reviews

I first came across this wine in the 2011 vintage about 10 months ago, so was happy to see the 2013 appear at my Costco.  After I reviewed the 2011 back in May of 2014 I had several readers write in that they really enjoyed this wine, and agreed with my take that this was a pretty good White Burgundy at a fair price ($14.89 this year vs $13.99 last

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway? I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes with you via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available wines. Below is a wrap

Furmint Adventures Episode 11: Gizella Cellar

Reviews

I do believe that our Furmint adventures, alas, come to an end with this episode, the eleventh in the series (more were filmed, but I’m not sure in what context those will be cropping up; when they do I will let you know). Special thanks to all of those who were responsible for making this happen; I will treasure the memories, the wines, and
