Whether your a gang of one or a gang of many, you cannot go wrong with this nice red by Chain Gang Pitch Black 2013. With a blend #Shiraz/#Syrah, #Tempranillo and #Zinfandel. It’s deep red color, a hint of #vanilla on the nose and a nice finish of dark #chocolate tones. This is an extremely…

Wine Review: Genesis Merlot 2013
I’ve steered away from #California #wines from 2014-2015. Due to the droughts, I’ve stayed with 2013 and older vintage. This #Genesis #Merlot 2013 is surprising smooth, not dry. 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: Joel Gott Chardonnay 2014
Tonight I’m having a Joel Gott Chardonnay 2014. With aromas of honeydew and pear with light floral notes. This Chardonnay opens up with tropical and citrus flavors with a long finish. I’ve enjoyed the previous years more but it’s nice. I’ve been using a wine aerator on white wines as they too need to…

Wine Review: 2007 Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay
I’ve been a chardonnay drinker for a few years now. When I prepare a very nice meal I want to compliment it with a deserving wine. One of my all time favorite Chardonnay’s is from Cakebread Cellars from Napa Valley. Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay is one of those wines that is hard to find locally. Restaurants…
Wine Review: Leitz’s 2008 Rudesheimer Drachenstein Riesling Dragonstone
I have to say, I’ve never really been one for sweet wines or light wines. A friend of mine bought me (great guy) two bottles of Rieslings. I had a date planned here at the house, where I was doing the cooking. Take note guys and gals, you want to impress…cook yourself! Gives you more…
Luna di Luna Chardonnay/Pinot Grigio
After our dinner at Doneraki’s, we went over to World Market to piddle around. I wanted to check out their wine selection. I rarely buy wine in places like this because the selections to me are not that great. I headed to the back of the store to check things out. I wanted to try…
