I can’t pass up trying a new bourbon, so I had to get this when I was at the Costco liquor store. In fact, this was one of the main reasons I went there. There’s a bit of heat from the alcohol (103 proof), but there’s also some good flavors of caramel, a hint of …

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 …

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 …

Pomegranate Wine
Not all wines are made from grapes. You can find wine made from a wide variety of fruits, wine made from honey, and I’ve even heard about people making tomato wine. I’ve also enjoyed pomegranate juice in the past, and it does seem like it would make a good, flavorful wine. I recently received two …

Rosenblum Zinfandel – A wine for fruit lovers
If you don’t like lots and lots of fruit in your wine, this isn’t your wine. Seriously. If you love fruit, like I do, then this definitely is your wine. I’m talking about the Rosenblum Zinfandel Vintner’s Cuvée XXXIII. This is a blend of Zinfandel (88%) and Petite Sirah (12%) from various vintages and various …

A Fruity Cabernet from Bin 36
I recently picked up this wine at Dolce Vita Wine Shop in Chaska, Minnesota because it was their “nickel sale” wine. Since Cabernet Sauvignon is one of my favorite varietals, it seemed like a fairly safe choice, even though I knew nothing about the producer. I’ve also learned that just about any wine this shop …

2010 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Pinot Grigio
This Pinot Grigio is from the Robert Mondavi Private Selection line of wines. I’ve had some Pinot Grigio before, and, while I’ve liked some, I’m starting to think that I’m just not that fond of this particular grape. I get some gooseberry and citrus on the nose, but I’m not getting much in the way of fruit …

2007 Boedecker Cellars Athena Pinot Noir
I recently received some credits from Lot18 for participating in their Twitter contests and promotions. I decided to spend the credits on this Boedecker Cellars Athena Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley in Oregon. This is the 2007 vintage. Boedecker Cellars is currently selling the 2008 vintage on their website. I poured this into a decanter, …

A Big White Box from the Big House
I recently received an unexpected package with two 3L wine casks of Big House wine. One of them, the 2010 Big House Red, I reviewed previously. The other one, however, was the 2010 Big House White, which is a new vintage that I haven’t tried. An interesting thing about the Big House blends is that …
