There is no official tasting notes from the winery that I could locate. I did find a few other websites that reviewed this wine and it appears that this wine is a blend of two or...

Trinity Hill Hawke’s Bay Merlot 2024
Trinity Hill Hawke’s Bay Merlot 2024 $24.99 2024 is proving to be an absolute banger of a vintage for Hawke’s Bay reds, and I think this example is one of the best-value merlots on the market right now. Grown in their Gimblett Stones vineyard, this wine is a smoky sensation that’s rich, dense and yet […]

Duckhorn Vineyards Celebrates 50 Years
Fifty years is a long time in Napa Valley. Long enough to watch vineyards change hands, styles rise and fall, and reputations come and go. To reach that milestone, and still feel relevant, confident, and forward-looking, is another thing entirely. This year, Duckhorn Vineyards marks its 50th anniversary. It’s a moment that feels like a… The post Duckhorn Vineyards Celebrates 50 Years appeared first on Haute Living San Francisco .

Where Italy's Largest Lake Meets the Vineyards: Discovering Garda DOC
As we welcome a new year it’s always important to think about what goals one has in mind to start the year . I myself am always looking ot broaden my horizon in the wine world and that includes exploring new wine regions, wineries and grape varieties . That is exactly the theme of our wine writers group this month led by Lynn a t Savor the Harvest this month . E ach one o f us explores something new or different to share with all our readers as well as ourselves . For me personally, I decided to share some wines that I explored recently from the Garda DOC . I recently attended a virtual tasting led by one of our writers Susannah and the VP of the Garda DOC Consorzio and owner of P e rla del Garda, Giovanna Andrea . Although visiting Lake Garda is not new to me as I have been fortunate to make it there once before, learning more about the Garda D OC and what it encompasses was newer to me .

Valencian Merlot 718
<p>Got a few bottles of this recently from our local Lidl as part of their current wine tour, it was 100% Merlot ( bottled by a cooperative, Vinicola La Viña) from Valencia, not a grape variety you’d associate with this corner of southeast Spain, but

my dinner with Giovanni Gaja
Surprise Dinner with Giovanni GajaEarly this summer, I received a short-notice invitation to a dinner with Giovanni Gaja at Mara restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. Usually these events have a dozen or so journalists, sommeliers, and buyers. A short-notice invitation is likely because someone dropped out. No matter, if the event is interesting and I’m available, … Continue reading →

Bapta Merlot – Villa Sobrano
🍂 C’è qualcosa di speciale nell’autunno… 🍁I colori del bosco cambiano, il rosso, l’oro e il rame si mescolano nell’aria. Il silenzio del bosco, le foglie che scricchiolano sotto i passi ed il profumo di terra bagnata. 🍷In questi momenti capisco perché amo il 🍇 Merlot.

In the heart of southern Tuscany is one of o ne of Italy and Tuscany’s prestigious wine regions, Bolgheri . Wine lovers may be most familiar with this territory for the innovate “Super Tuscan” reds that hit the scene in the late 20 th century. I was introduced to these wines via a virtual tasting hosted by Argentiera and Studio Cru and led by Argentiera’s winemaker, Nicoló Carrara, whom has been their winemaker wince 2009.

2021 Bordeaux En Primeur | Pomerol
How on earth to summarise a vintage by appellation, which more or totally defied homogeneity? I’m going to try my best, almost solely using our own meandering experience and stack of tasting notes. Luckily Pomerol, which is where we began, makes is rather easier than most. If someone were to ask me to fill in […]
