    I have a stomach ache.  Maybe, its the wine.  I don’t know.  What I do know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that I did some cardio today!  It was great to feel my legs moving and have my lungs working even if it...

    The wine of the week, the weekend I mean, is Tapena Tempranillo.  Can you say that?  The “n” has that little “enya” sound to it -just like the lady with the  really, really nice voice.  The “ll” in tempranillo is pronounced “yo”, like Rocky Balboa...

    Here’s another decent wine from the barefeet wine making folks. I like their Pinot noir & now, this zinf. And, another excellent thing about these barefeet wines is the price! $5.99 per bottle! That’s totally awesome. Any way, this Zinfandel is tasty but definitely not...

    this is a darn good wine. I’m a big chianti fan and must confess that I’m very lenient on this type. what I mean is that it is hard for me to find a chianti that I do not like. well, I really, really like...

    This is a pretty darn good merlot. And, that comes from someone that is not a fan of merlot. I just don’t care much for them. I didn’t buy this merlot. Actually , a friend brought it over a couple of weeks ago when I...

    It seems ages since I last drank a Zinfandel. It’s probably more like a month since I had a Zinfandel -I just like being dramatic. It’s in my blood. This Zinfandel is not only inexpensive but pretty dang good. I mean it. I usually don’t...

    I tried another Pinot noir that I haven’t tried before. It was ok. It was nothing to yell about or, to slap your grandmother about. It was simply ok. As long as it stays inexpensive I’ll buy again and again. I guess this is a...

    This is a decent Pinot. It’s very light. Actually, it seemed quite watered down after drinking the aquinas cab I previously bought. I guess that’s what to expect after drinking such a robust cab sauvignon as aquinas. I like it still, though. It goes down...
