Winey Tasting Notes: Brancott Estate’s Flight Song and The Winey Daughter Down Under

I am continuing to live for text messages and Facebook posts as The Winey Daughter studies film in Australia and New Zealand for the month. (Winey Tasting Notes: The Winey Daughter Down Under and Layer Cake Shiraz, Winey Tasting Notes: Down Under with Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc) At least, she says she’s studying film. As…

Winey Tasting Notes: Down Under with Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc

It was pretty easy to decide on a wine to review this first week of 2016. I simply followed the Winey Daughter (metaphorically, unfortunately) to New Zealand.

Winey Tasting Notes: Cruising With Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc

Winey Tasting Notes: Edna Valley Sauvignon Blanc for International Sauvignon Blanc Day, 2012

Sauvignon BlancGrapes I know that it sometimes it seems like there’s a day for every little thing under the sun. In the month of June alone, you can celebrate National Yo Yo Day (June 6),  National Bubba Day (no I don’t know and don’t want to know what it means but it’s on June 2),…
