Joe Plonk's Blog: The Perfect Stocking Stuffer
http://joeplonk.blogspot.com/2010/01/perfect-stocking-stuffer.html
Wine blog from the creator of Drink Plonk (www.drinkplonk.com). Friday, January 1, 2010. The Perfect Stocking Stuffer. This year, I must have been nice (or at least my naughty days didn't get caught on tape), because my stocking included the ultimate gift - the split half. Small enough to fit discretely inside a stocking, but delivering the perfect gift for wine lovers like me. Included in my stocking this year were three ideal split-half bottles:. 2007 Rombauer Vineyards Zinfandel. 2005 Fess Parker Syrah.

Joe Plonk's Blog: Lester Arthur
http://joeplonk.blogspot.com/2009/10/lester-arthur.html
Wine blog from the creator of Drink Plonk (www.drinkplonk.com). Friday, October 23, 2009. Lester Arthur came to Aptos for a visit last weekend. He and his kin brought Markham Cabernet and Parducci Petite Sirah. Also consumed over the weekend were Heart’s Fire Petite Sirah, Rubicon Zinfandel, Frank Family Zinfandel, Young’s Barbera, and St. Francis Port. Lester Arthur is a friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said. But I helped him a-drink his wine. And he always had some mighty fine wine.

Amy's LA Wine Blog: March 2010
http://hellowine.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Amy's LA Wine Blog. Sunday, March 14, 2010. Glaser Himmelstoss, Silvaner, Franken, Germany, 2006. I'm a little late blogging on this, as I drank it AGES ago, well by AGES I mean around Christmas. It was a gift from an MW friend, as she knows I need to study up on my non-Riesling German varieties. Like Muller Thurgau, which is generally flabby, lower in alcohol and tastes like nothing, the opposite of Silvaner really. For that recipe.). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Black Sheep Finds Wines.

Amy's LA Wine Blog: A new Valpo.
http://hellowine.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-valpo.html
Amy's LA Wine Blog. Friday, June 18, 2010. I'm on a Valpolicella kick. And I really liked this one. It's the first time I've had or seen this producer, but I'm really glad I found it. David Sterza, Classico Superiore Ripasso, 2007. You can find it around for about $20, and it blows the socks off a lot of other wines at that price point. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Amy's LA Wine Blog. Friday, February 26, 2010. Chianti at it's peak. Rocca delle Macie, Chianti Classico, Riserva, 2004. BUT the good news is that it got better the longer it was opened, which doesn't make sense actually since I felt it was already a little oxidized (from long barrel age perhaps? I would suggest a nice rough and tumble decanting and then splashing around in your glass for a bit. It's definitely showing some nice secondary savory notes on the nose. Drink now! 2499 Rosso Wine Shop. I reall...
