The Sauvignon Blanc (#SauvBlanc) Tweet-up on March 4th was a smashing success.  Produced by @RickBakas and @StSupery Winery, the goal of the event was to share and experience Sauvignon Blanc from wineries across the globe.  In fact, @Johner got up at 2 am in Germany to participate. A quick analysis of the event shows that over [...]]]></description>

First, I need to come clean and say that this is my first experience tasting a wine from Washington State.  Yes, I know, I hate to admit that it took me this long, but as the 2010 Wine Bloggers Conference in Washington grows near, I feel compelled to learn more about this popular wine country.

For many of us the idea of owning a vineyard and producing a quality Napa wine is just a fantasy, but for Tom Burgess it’s a reality. After traveling the world with the United States Air force, Tom’s love for wine and adventure brought him to the Napa Valley, and in 1972, Burgess Cellars was [...]]]></description>

Want a wine that pairs well with dinner and dessert that won’t break your bank?  Well, thanks to social media I was introduced to another great wine thanks to my friends @rickbakas and @aundycrenshaw on twitter.

The Conundrum is a lovely tropical wine on the nose, apple crisp on the palate, and sweet and creamy on [...]]]></description>

Would you believe me if I told you I got a Caymus Zinfandel for only $32?  Probably not, right? Caymus is known for their high-end Napa Cabs, but they also produce a Sauvignon Blanc and a Zinfandel.  Both affordable, unique are worth a trip to the tasting room.
As I journey deeper into the realm of [...]]]></description>

Last week I had the great privilege to join Hugh Davies at Schramsberg Vineyards to taste wine at his private table with his associates.  I felt a little bit like Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings when he enters the circle of trust in Rivendell.  To some this might seem only as a wine [...]]]></description>

This Sauvignon Blanc is my personal favorite from the “Forefront” wine series.  67% of the fruit comes from the Sonoma Dry Creek Valley and 33% from Napa counties.  Dry Creek Valley is an area best known for producing great Zinfandels because of its cool, dry climate with minimal heat waves.  After learning this I wasn’t [...]]]></description>
