It’s kind of a big joke among wine lovers that the term “leftover wine” is an oxymoron. But it happens. If you are like me and are the only wine drinker in the house. (Hubby sips every once in a while, but then again, he doesn’t write a wine blog, does he?) Or you could have…

Winey Tasting Notes: Hide Out With The 120 Cabernet Sauvignon

The first thing my eye about this bottle of wine was the big number 120 on its label. 120 what, I wondered??? 120 grapes? 120 blends? 120 proof (wouldn’t that be the mother of all wine hangovers)?  Nope, the 120 refers to 120 Chilean patriots who hid in the Santa Rita wine cellars during their fight…

Winey Tasting Notes: The Naughty Wine Names Series: The Naked Grape

I have nothing against naked. I loved it when my kiddies were tots, shedding clothing (randomly – I worried a bit til I found out that WAS a toddler thing) and running through the house. My beloved dog is an avowed nudist. (I will never give up my fight to get her into her Halloween…
