Hey, I been working this wine gym thirty years, mac. I seen ’em all. I can tell ya who’s gonna be one of the greats the second they walk through that door. And I’ll say it today: that kid they called Pinot? He could’a been a world champ. I knew it the moment he walked […]

At the signing of the treaty, Pork Medallions was restless. “They said they’d be here!” The succulent meat paced across the marble hall. “Where are they? WHERE?” “Patience,” counseled Grilled Chicken Breast. “They brought us this far. They wouldn’t leave us behind now.” Near the window, Salmon Seared With Freshly Ground Black Pepper nodded. “Pork, […]

First of all, it is delicious and refreshing. On the nose it is a summer bouquet of freesia. Secondly, it is perfectly normal to experience a hint of wildflowers popping up when you swirl the wine around in the glass. Figuratively speaking, of course. What is NOT normal is perceiving that an actual bouquet of […]

The trouble with these 2011 wines is that they lack experience. This can be good when it comes to taste, but horrible when you try to take your wine to, say, a Mortal Kombat style pit fight. Then they’re all “Oh no!” and “Take me home!” and “Can’t we just go to the opera and […]

Everybody’s heart has a home. Maybe it’s not where they live, but it’s where they want to be most of all. For a squirrel like me, that place is Walnut City. I’m not there now, but when I open this wine (with much struggle because of my tiny paws) it all rushes back to me […]

“Ahhh. Pinot Noir. The fragrance of choice for 12-year-old boys circa 1992.” I’m pretty sure you mean “Drakkar Noir” the cologne. Pinot Noir is a wine. Like this 2007 Eastburn Vineyards Estate with racy tannins and lovely notes of plum. “Well whatever it was, it singed the nostrils. Smelled like a mixture of wet dog […]

The snow beats down on the roof that hangs over my burnt out burnout’s apartment. I take an icepack out of the freezer, or try to, but I remember that I had to pawn the ice pack for wine money. Instead I just flop back down and rub my head where the brute hit me, […]

Will-AM-It, Will-UH-Met. Either way, it drinks the same. The difference is the company you keep while doing so. If you want to waste this beautifully crafted and polished bright garnet wine with a rich essence of fresh Bing cherries, pomegranates and blueberries on your fly-over friends, hey, that’s your prerogative. But just so there’s no […]
