Read MoreB.R. Cohn Silver Label Chardonnay Great With Lighter Foods
B.R. Cohn Chardonnay 2016, Russian River Valley Cost: $16-18 Most people drink white wine all year, but as the temperature climbs in spring many of us find ourselves reaching for a white bottle more often. That is why you find so many good bottles of white wine popping up now. One of the really nice ones I have come across at a bargain price is the B.R. Cohn Chardonnay. The wine is a beautiful pale yellow...

Read MoreLucas & Lewellen Dry Rosé Is A Great Food Wine
Lucas & Lewellen Rosé of Pinot Noir 2017, Santa Barbara County Cost: $17-19 I have been a fan of dry rosé wines for years, and now it seems like the rest of the country has caught up to my tastes. Gone (mostly) are the sweet, simple dry white zinfandels that were made when growers couldn’t sell all their zinfandel grapes. Instead, winemakers are producing complex wines with nuanced flavors and crisp...

Read MoreThird Thursday Tasting-Wine World-Apr. 19
Stopped by early to sample some nice wines and try to forget about the day I had. It did the trick. I was impressed with all of the whites: the Von Donabaum Gruner Veltliner, nice and crisp and fresh; the Trivento Torrontes Reserve, my favorite of the evening, had aromas of a Sauvignon Blanc but had just enough fruit to be completely different; and the Willamette Valley Vineyard Riesling, which is a...

Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Napa Valley Cost: $60-62 My mother used to love rainy days. When I was younger I could never understand that, but I do now. We had one of those lazy rainy days Sunday. After church I was looking forward to seeing my first game in the new Green Jackets stadium, but it got rained out. So what do you do with a suddenly free afternoon when you can’t do anything...

Read MoreTry Colomé Or Amalaya On Malbec World Day
Colomé Estate Malbec 2015, Argentina Amalaya Malbec 2016, Argentina Cost: $24-26 $15-17 You might not know it, but Malbec World Day is April 17. It’s not a big day in the United States, and I don’t know of any festivities around Augusta. So if you want to celebrate, you are on your own. But it is certainly a day worth celebrating. That also is income tax day this year, so you might want to drink some...

You won’t find anything better than something made by Frank Family Vineyards. And because it is spring, I especially like the Frank Family pinot noir. The wine is light and refreshing, but...

Read MoreRabble Red Blend Matches Great Wine To Eye-Catching Label
Rabble Red Blend 2015, Paso Robles Cost: $17-19 This is another wine where the label grabbed my eye and the wine inside the bottle surpassed my expectations. Packaging has become more important in wine sales, as new wineries and wine brands spring up everywhere. Producers want to grab our eyes at the store and hope we will be intrigued enough by the package to try their wine. Then they have to deliver...
