Well its that time of year again to consider, ponder, chew and perhaps re-taste what wine I thought were the best from 2007.  This time it is going to be a tough choice; there were so many good ones I had.  But I have not yet made up my mind - so you will need to come back and check on what...

Drink Up! Although the new version is in its infancy in development, you can keep track of the progress. Just visit the link below:http://preview.virtualtastings.com/Reviews/WineThe new development features include the ability to "drink up" a wine... not too fancy with your reviews?

VirtualTastings launched a few years back as an experiment to bring free reviews from wine drinkers that have no special interests, other than to express their opinions. At the time, there were no clear-cut resources for getting such information. Most websites I came across when looking for examples of what was already out there seemed "deceptive" in practice; you would search to...

I have been reviewing recent release information of many of California’s 2004 Napa Valley cabs to see how the vintage is gearing up for the market. The 2004’s are now out and being sold in earnest, but what I find amazing is their sky high prices.  Of the first 24 wines I looked at, their average suggested retail selling price...

After learning about Bordeaux wines from France I started early in my wine life to explore other areas and somehow gave this wine from Washington State a try.  Waterbrook winery is located in the Walla Walla Valley in Washington, a name that to me seemed more Australian than American.  While they make a few different wines from different...

September 9, 2007 Those of you that have read my previous blogs know about my fight with the crows. Well, I think I’ve won this round.  My vines are ripe with grapes and I may be able to actually make some wine this year. Which brings me to my next problem, I’ve never made wine before. After the first few failures...

We occasionally get a query about what kinds of wine we post the most on our site or that other people might post here.  I am talking in part about whether they are reds or whites, etc.; but more specifically about the grape varieties themselves.  Are there more pinot noirs than zinfandels added to our expanding database, or are there more...
