Lately we’ve been interested in purchasing wines that have a rating of 90 points or higher. This bottle of St. Michael-Eppan Pinot Grigio received a 90 point rating from Wine Spectator for the 2008 vintage, and although we were enjoying a 2010, it lived up to all of the reviews we read. Dry […]
Wine, Cocktails & Beer
Château Gravier Figeac 2006 Saint-Emillion
This Château Gravier Figeac 2006 Saint-Emillion was not expensive ($17.99) and it showed! Whilst it was drinkable, we both agreed that it was nothing special. It has a almost plum aroma with a lighter ruby color. We found it a little harsh on the palate, but it did improve once […]
Louis Latour Pinot Noir 2006 & Louis Latour Marsannay 2005
We found a great pinot noir about a month ago and are sure it is a wine most of you would love! This Louis Latour Pinot Noir 2006 is about $12.99 a bottle and is the bargain of the year. We liked it so much we immediately went back to our local wine shop […]
White Haven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2009
We can’t say enough about this wine. We never buy sauvignon blancs because they are often too “fizzy” for our liking so we tend to stick to pinot grigio. This, however, called out to us the minute we entered our favorite wine shop. Not only was it already cold, the paper on the label was […]
Bodega Colome Estate Malbec 2008
This Bodega Colome Estate Malbec from 2008 is one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2010. We paid $25.99 for this bottle. We tend to like malbecs and this wine was recommended to us by the owner of the local wine shop we frequent. This wine had flavors of black fruits, clove, allspice and […]
Coldisole Brunello di Montalcino 2003
As I’ve mentioned before, we have come to love really good wine. This bottle was a gift from my mother for my talented husband celebrating a new job. Costing about $43-$45 a bottle, it is well worth it and might have just become one of our new favorites. When my mom bought the bottle she […]
Conundrum 2008 California White Wine
We have, perhaps sadly, become a bit particular when it comes to wine. We used to be able to enjoy a good $10 bottle and had a slew of favorites. Lately that is not the case. We decided to begin to purchase wine less often but to purchase wines that cost […]
Chateau Lagrave-Martillac (Pessac-Léognan) 2005
We picked up this bottle for just $20. The wine takes its name from a tower dating from the twelfth century, which adorns the courtyard of a castle. The wines, white and red, of the château Latour-Martillac were recognized in 1953 and 1959 as “grand cru classé” of Graves. The wine has a spicy taste […]
