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…

Wine Review: Vintage Ink Chardonnay 2009
Having been an artist for the last two decades, my taste of the arts is ever-changing. I like bold loud flaunting designs these days. Why be subtle? When you view a Picasso painting and thinking to yourself, Wow that guy was pretty far out-there and head of his time. Really? Or was it his vision…
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…

Wine Review: 2008 Gascón Malbec
After preparing such a wonderful hamburger steak for dinner, I wanted a nice wine to compliment the flavors of my burger. Sure I could have pulled a trusty merlot out of my cellar, but I wanted something different. A few weeks ago I came across a 2008 Malbec from Argentina by Gascon Winery. I was…
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…
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…
