Trivento Malbec A Big Wine Without Being Heavy

Trivento Reserve Malbec 2011, Argentina Cost: $10-12 What: Malbec continues to grow in popularity in the United States with good reason. It is a tasty grape that produces wine perfect for food pairings. Though Malbec came to the New World from France in the 1860s, the grape has found its ideal home in Argentina, where soil and climate at the foothills of the Andes Mountains produce great wine. The...

Montelena, Armagnac Make 21st Birthday Memorable

My son Michael turned 21 this weekend, so we had to celebrate. He’s not big on parties or making a fuss, so we had a quiet dinner at home with some special wine. He’s had a drink before, when we traveled to other countries with lower drinking ages, but this would be his first legal drink in the United States. I thought long and hard about what might be appropriate. I could make a case for many different...

A Mothers Day Concoction

Small Gully Mr. Black’s Concoction Shiraz Viognier 2009 Ibought this for Mother’s Day. I figured a couple of bottles of wines that cost more than my usual Saturday Night Specials would be a good thing to help ensure domestic tranquility. I had this wine a couple of years back so I was kind of excited to see it back on the shelves at The Vineyard. I remember it being pretty good. I definitely...

Sans Liege, Kitchen 1454 Combine For An Incredible Meal

The White Horse and Kitchen 1454 teamed up to present a spectacular wine dinner featuring Sans Liege wines Thursday night at Kitchen 1454. The wines and food were paired so perfectly it was difficult to decide whether the food or the wine was the star of the night. The icing on the cake was Sans Liege winemaker Curt Schalchlin’s appearance to talk about the wines and answer any questions. Sans Liege has...

Third Thursday Wine World-May 16

It was another great Third Thursday tasting at Wine World. Six wines and some wonderful cheeses were presented. As usual, all the wines were crowd-pleasers. But in anticipation of the warm summer months ahead, the whites seemed particularly good this time. All three were fun, easy-drinking wine, but each showed some character. And at prices ranging from $10.99 to $13.99, they are the kinds of wines you...

Landmark Offers Rich, Classic California Chardonnay

Landmark Vineyards Overlook Chardonnay 2011, California Cost: $24-26 What: In the crowded field of California Chardonnays it is difficult for a winery to distinguish itself from the pack, but Landmark has been doing it for years. And while others have experimented with lighter, leaner styles Landmark has stayed with the rich, classic California Chardonnay style. I do like the unoaked Chardonnay many...

I better hurry on this one

Fisheye Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 South Eastern Australia | Fisheye. I almost didn’t review this one. Mrs. Dan got to it first. I was out fixing someone’s network and she got an 6-hour head start. I figured it better review it before it’s gone. I’d hate to have to purchase a second bottle just to find out I don’t like it. This is the first 2012 Cab I’ve tried. Being from...

Catching up with my bourbon ales

Allagash Curieux I‘m a bit peeved at myself. I bought the first bottle of Allagash Curieux at Vineyard Wine Market back on March 9. John has bought one case of this fine Ale and that was going to be it. It had just arrived that day. I rushed home and started writing this review. Now this is a 750ml bottle of beer so his isn’t something one person just sits down and drinks over a couple of days...
