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 …

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 …

Ricossa Casorzo DOC
I recently received a bottle of Italian wine for review, and I’m very curious about it. This is a Malvasia di Casorzo DOC wine from the Piedmont region of Italy. This is made from the Malvasia Nera grape. What I find interesting is the very low alcohol content of 5.5% ABV. I don’t think I’ve …

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 …

A Tale of Two Malbecs
One thing that I learned from the recent Beaujolais tasting is that tasting several similar wines at the same time can be fun, and it can help me appreciate the differences that exist between wines that may appear to be very similar at first. Since Malbec went well with the beef tacos last time, I …

A dinosaur from New Zealand
Like the other “dinosaur wine,” this wine is from Terra Fossil. This wine, a Sauvignon Blanc, comes from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Marlborough produces some very good Sauvignon Blanc wines. In keeping with the dinosaur theme, this wine has the skeleton of a Pterodactyl on the label. There are some very good Sauvignon …

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, …
