Road Trip: Central Coast, California

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Wine country began again as we approached the Central Coast region around Paso Robles on Monday afternoon. We planned to visit a number of tasting rooms in the area on Tuesday, but we decided to go ahead and visit the Edward Sellers Vineyards & Wines tasting room since it is closed on Tuesdays. I’m really […]

Finally a Chardonnay I Like: Yalumba Unwooded

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Over the years, I have tried a number of Chardonnays. Truth be known, it might have been the first wine that I ever tasted. Since it is generally the white wine offered at banquets, weddings, and the like, there is a good chance that it was the first white wine that you tasted too. Even […]

Australia really wants your business

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Through the years, we have taken a number of trips to different wine regions throughout the world. As you might expect, we have had a wide range of experiences, some great and others not so great. We found visiting Australian cellar doors (wine tasting rooms) to be one of the great wine experiences in the […]

You can buy great value wines for under $20 (some under $10).

Friday, January 11th, 2008

“You only have so many bottles in your life, never drink a bad one.” –Len Evans Wine prices are not inherently linked to quality and pleasure. As we’ve said in the About page, we’ve tried wines in and from almost every major wine-producing area in the world. We’ve had blind tastings and wine tasting dinners […]
