A new chianti for me

Don’t have much time for this wine review cuz I have to get back to work.
This wine is great! It kicks butt big time!
I love Chiantis & I love this chianti a great deal.
It has a nice & pleasant floral smell & it’s dry & smooth. It’s killer. You’ll love it if [...]

Back in the game again, kind of

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 was just a slight workout.

I lifted [...]

Tempranillo

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 would say.

Here’s a pronunciation: Tempranillo

Obviously, this wine is from Spain, [...]

Another zinfandel

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 excellent. It does have that distinct [...]

Very good chianti

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 one. it is so good. it is smooth [...]

Malbec is great

it’s a been a long time since I’ve drank a malbec. i had forgotten how good malbecs are.
oh yes, this is a blend. I forget. it’s a malbec/merlot blend. this is usually the only way that I like a merlot – when its blended with another varietal.

anyway, I like this wine. [...]

A pretty good merlot

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 cooked a paella.
Anyway, this wine was left aty [...]

Finally, a change

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 go for anything that advertises a bigass [...]

Pinot noir

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 recession wine. When you r trying [...]

Another pinot noir

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 well.
I’d buy it again.
