Winexpression

For the 20th edition of Wine Blogging Wednesday, being hosted by Wine for Newbies (thanks!), I decided to grab a Muscat to coincide with the theme this month, “off the beaten path whites”. It’s a varietal I haven’t had much of, as I don’t usually drink sweet wines. But, at the right time, with the [...]

Put down that glass of Burgundy, Bordeaux, Napa Valley Cabernet, or Oregon Pinot Noir and spend a moment with the wines of the Rhone. Contained within this post is some of the best information on Rhone varietal wine I have come across. Participation in this months event was great, and included a ton of first [...]

There are certain events in ones life that you remember because your life changes forever afterwards. It’s strange that that statement can be said when referencing wine, but for those that become passionate about it, they can pinpoint the exact moment and the bottle of wine that enticed their passion. There are also other small [...]

Just another quick reminder, Wine Blogging Wednesday #19, When in Rhone, will kick off tomorrow Wednesday, March 8,2006. I’ve already received a few entries and feel that this is the quiet before the storm. Pop those corks, twist off those screw caps, and let’s enjoy some Rhone varietal wine.

Just a quick reminder for all those who get busy and forget about WBW, rush out Tuesday or Wednesday of that week, and send their post in late, like me, the last 3 months in a row.
I hope you find this months addition as interesting as I do. I have enjoyed all of the [...]

The good Doctor posted his round-up of Wine Blogging Wednesday today, and I must say he did a nice job. The doctor spent some time actually reading the posts, and found that people did get off the beaten path.

One blogger traveled an hour to check out another city; someone else visited a cult shop actually [...]

I think I should just change the name when I host to Wine Blogging Thursday, as this is my second month in a row of being a day late. Anyway, I stayed away from my normal favorite wine shops and stumbled upon a gem in Albany, namely Odd Lots, a small diverse wine shop that [...]

This month’s host of WBW is the good Doctor Vino, who wants us to focus on the wine store itself. With a plethora of wine shops in the Bay Area, I’m going to have to branch out from my favorite shops. Kermit Lynch, K&L Wines, The Wine Club, Jackson’s, and Premier Cru, won’t see [...]

O.K. so that isn’t the real title of this edition of Wine Blog Wednesday, the monthly global wine tasting event, it’s just Red Kiwis. I ran out last night, and picked up a red wine from New Zealand. The retailer I visited runs a little low on their selection of Reds from this region. There [...]
