Winey Tasting Notes: Fog Head Wine and My Foggy Headed Child

What to do when a bottle of wine is a total bargain and has a name that makes you giggle? Buy it in red and white! Such was the case a few weeks ago when I spied a  new wine offering at a local store. It was being featured in the store’s “best under $10”…

Winey Tasting Notes: Hoping for Italy, Part Two – Bolla Creso

Welcome to Part Two of my Italian vacation dream. I started these wine reviews because The Winey Family is planning (and hoping and praying for) a trip to Italy this coming summer to celebrate The Winey Son’s college graduation and the Winey Daughter’s high school graduation. (It’s gonna be quite a week in May. You…

Winey Tasting Notes: A Velvet Sledgehammer And A Song To Sip It With

If you are a person of my age bracket (last of the baby boomers…), when you hear the word “sledgehammer” my guess is you flash back to the 80’s and the song by Peter Gabriel. “I want to be your sledgehammer, Why don’t you call my name..” If you are also like me, you now…

Winey Tasting Notes: Celebrating Milestones with Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon

Isn’t it funny how you remember certain things about certain events? In my case, I am talking about the wine (big surprise there).

Winey Tasting Notes: The Lure of the Sale: Concannon Conservancy Cabernet Sauvignon

Just like a really cute/funny/inappropriate wine label, a big discount on a bottle of wine can lure me in cork, foil cutter and corkscrew. (You thought I was going to say “hook, line and sinker”, didn’t you? Well, this is not a fishing blog.) So when I saw that Concannon Vineyard’s Cabernet Sauvignon (2010, 13.5%,…
