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: Barking Good! Portrait of a Mutt Zinfandel

  I have a confession to make. Don’t judge me. But — I have been buying Christmas gifts since August. OK, I know that sounds horribly annoying. And I would happily choke someone who says “I’ve had my Christmas shopping done since Labor Day”. And yes, I would choke them with a string of Christmas…

Winey Tasting Notes: Save It For The Grill – BBQ Zinfandel
