This is an older review that I never published at the time. I don’t have a photo, but I think there’s still enough information to be useful. Maggie and I are currently enjoying a bottle of Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc. This is produced in the Marlborough region of New Zealand., an area that is known …

Red Diamond 2010 Washington State Merlot
A quick review here, as I almost ran out of wine before I got around to writing anything. This is really good. It’s a rich, fruity wine with some chocolate on the finish. Good tannins, but not overpowering. My wife, who typically prefers sweeter, fruity wines, loves this wine. This is a fairly dry wine, …

Kirkland Signature 2011 Signature California Chardonnay
I’ve heard about the good values at Costco, and I recently bought a Costco membership. I’ve been impressed so far with the Kirkland Signature products, and a friend of mine kept telling me about the good values at the Costco liquor stores here. (Here in Minnesota, Costco has to have a separate store for alcoholic …

Broke Ass Red Wine
I saw this wine at a local wine store and had to try it. The name is funny, the picture (a donkey, aka ass, with a bandage) is cute, and the price ($4.99 in Minnesota) can’t be beat. I looked at the back of the bottle, too, to see what exactly I was buying. This …

BenMarco Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
I bought this wine from WineShopper using some referral credits I’ve earned. This is the second time I’ve been able to order wine from there with referral credits, and I’ve been impressed with the company and the wines so far. (A special thanks to those who have clicked on the link from this blog and …

Apothic Red 2010
I’m starting something new on this blog post. My wife, Maggie, will be adding her opinion on the wine. We have fairly similar tastes in wine, but we won’t always agree. I hope you find the two viewpoints helpful. Today’s wine is the Apothic Red 2010. This is a red blend from California. Brian: Very …

Big House White 2011
I’ve had the 2010 vintage of the Big House White, and I recently picked up the 2011. I’m wondering if this will be a similar blend. Just poured my first glass. It is definitely a different blend. It’s a bit drier without as much tropical fruit. (The 2010 was particularly strong in banana. My wife …

How Lucky is this Duck?
On a recent trip to Iowa, we stopped at a Walmart. (No, it wasn’t my idea.) Since our home state of Minnesota only allows wine sales in separate wine and liquor stores, the idea of Walmart selling wine was somewhat of a novelty to us. The selection was rather limited compared to what we were accustomed to, and …

2010 Concha Y Toro Xplorador Merlot
I’m going through some posts that I’ve started in the past. I’m publishing some of them, but a few may get discarded. These posts typically will not have the photos or other features that you see on my other posts, but this lets me get caught up faster. Once I’m done with this, I’ll get …

Happy New Year!
I haven’t been posting for a while, but I do intend to get back to regular posts soon. Since it is the new year, I thought I’d start with a sparkling wine, since that is a popular choice for new year celebrations. Unfortunately, my budget precludes French Champagne, so I looked for a lower cost …
