Wine Review: LaPosta Pizzella Malbec

For those of you have never tried a #Malbec or not really a red wine enthusiast you should try the #LaPosta #Pizzella Malbec. This particular #redwine is medium balance in taste and density. This is not a full bodied red. Let it air out for half hour or use an #airator. You’ll notice the aroma…

Balanced with its plum & cherry flavors and hints of vanilla & spice with a little oak. Priced about $11. Great choice without spending a lot of…

Wine Review: Marques de Caceres Rioja Crianza Red 2008

I have really enjoyed seeking out Rioja wines. I think when a person gets into drinking wines they first reds they will go to is a Merlot. It’s a safe bet. Then graduate to a Cabernet and stay there. As I’ve always said before, there are too many wines not to try them all! I…

Review: Barons de Rothschild-Lafite Reserve Speciale Bordeaux 2010

Friday evening I decided to stop by and pick up a chilled bottle of white wine on my way home. I had a very successful day at the office and figured I might as well treat myself with nice glass of wine and kick back for the evening. I wanted a white wine, something already…
