To quote a famous Jim Carrey character… Some body stop meee! These bubbles are addictive. I mean seriously addictive. Bright, light, beautifully balanced and oh so refreshing on a smoldering summer day. This rose gold pink potion is an absolute must try. LVE = Legend […]

J MOREAU & FILS VOUVRAY 2020
This was a very pleasant surprise of a wine and a perfect warm weather sipper. Although I personally would have considered a Demi-sec (off-dry) wine, that is a completely different bottle than this. Not being a huge fan of sweeter wines, the fresh tartness balances […]
Boy oh Boisset…
LVE Chardonnay Carneros 2021
I will be honest here. I am not a big fan of Chardonnay and will usually opt for ABC (Anything BUT Chardonnay) when given the chance. This wine changed all of that. In a word – GORGEOUS. LVE is John Legend’s label, Legend Vinyard Exclusive, […]
2020 Tomé Syrah
THE SCORE… Ratings are based on a simple 1 to 10 scale. The bar makes it easy to see where each component falls on the scale, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.” This was a beautiful, fruit forward Syrah that I […]

Alexandria Nicole Cellars brings us this beautiful “Pinky Swear” Rosé that is as approachable as it is sophisticated. From Columbia Valley, Washington, this fresh sippable vintage has juicy peach, watermelon and strawberry fruits with hints of flowers and herbs. Light and dry, it’s a perfect […]

Wisdom Point Grenache Blanc 2021
Wisdom Point 2021 Grenache Blanc is crisp and refreshing with ripe citrus and stone fruit flavors. A lovely alternative to Chardonnay.
Firstleaf
A wine club worth joining… I’ve mentioned before that I am a huge fan of Naked Wines but I need to make sure you know about my second love, Firstleaf. Perhaps “second love” is incorrect. I suppose it’s like having twin children. You love them […]
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
That magical elixir that is Châteauneuf-du-Pape made a serious impact on my pallate.
Getting Naked
I had been getting these little cards in my deliveries for over a year. A little credit card sized thing that said “NakedWines” on it. I already belong to a wine club so I would just toss those cards in the recycle bin. Until the […]
In the Beginning…
When I really fell in love with wine, I knew I wanted to know more. I found such a huge respect for the winemakers, grape growers and every hand that had ever picked a grape since the dawn of time. I will never pick up […]
