Long Meadow Ranch Releases Mouthwatering Rosé

Long Meadow Ranch Rosé of Pinot Noir 2018, Anderson Valley Cost: $24-26 A nice dry rosé is great any time of year, but most people seem to turn to these wines in the spring and summer. There’s something about sipping rosé on the porch or at a picnic that feels right. There seem to be more interesting rosés now than ever before so the wine has to be something special to stand out from the crowd. The Long...

Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Is A Great Gift For Dad

Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico 2014, Itally Cost: $40-42 This Sunday is Father’s Day, and it is often difficult to find just the right present for dad. My father is no longer alive, but I struggled every year to find the right gift. Like many fathers he would tell me he didn’t really need anything. He was just happy seeing me and talking to me. So I would inwardly groan while trying to figure...

7 Deadly Zins is Zinfully Delicious

7 Deadly Zins Zinfandel 2016, Lodi Cost: $19-21 I really like it when great packaging and a good wine come together, as it does with 7 Deadly Zins ($19-21). It’s pretty easy these days to come up with a good marketing program that makes people want to try your wine. But that only lasts for so long. If you don’t have the wine to back up the marketing, people stop buying your wine. American wine drinkers...

There’s A Reason La Crema Pinot Noir Has Been Popular For So Long

La Crema Pinot Noir 2016, Sonoma Coast Cost: $24-26 La Crema pinot noir is one of those wines that has been popular for a long time. People know it is good, you see it everywhere, and you don’t think about it much. Every time I drink it I am reminded why it is so popular. It is just what a pinot noir is supposed to taste like: full of ripe red fruit, juicy cherry, plums and blackberries. It is a...
