March 8, 2012. Robert Weil - Estate Riesling Dry - (Trocken) 2010. Wine Gent - 93 points. Germany - $30 - $35. Every once in a while - I have to treat myself to a good Riesling. After all - back in the day I cut my teeth on Riesling when the dollar was strong and good German Riesling was cheap. This wine pours a pale straw color and is crystal clear. The nose is stone/mineral with lemon and rich ripe stone fruit. The acidity is the star here. It keeps the palate fresh and clear -and it seems ...This is o...

December 12, 2008. Muga Rioja - 2004 - Unfiltered. 2200 to $26.00. After a long deserved hiatus I have come back to my reviews. What a nice wine to entice me back. With the economy in disarray, we are all looking for a nice bottle of wine that won't break the bank. Look no further. This is your salvation. This wine is consistently good from year to year. This wine has plenty of structure. The tannins are noticeable, but in balance. This one can last for 5-6 years in the cellar. I think this c...They have...

October 3, 2008. Masi Costasera Amarone 2004. 44 to $60 / 92 pts. I have always loved Amarone. As a full fledged carnivore, there is no better wine to complement a juicy steak or leg of lamb. When the dollar was strong, I could buy a good Amarone for around $30 and often did. Well, the dollar is now in the gutter, and the great names in Amarone are approaching $100 or more a bottle. Amarone is now a rare treat. I drank this wine as part of a virtual tasting on-line. MustLoveWine.com. Is a social net work...

May 25, 2011. Palazzo Della Torre - Ripassa - 2007. Valpolicella - Italy - $18.00. Wine Gent - 91 points. Sometimes it takes years of cellaring to allow wine to develop properly. When it does have time to develop - it is generally a joy to drink. Every once in a while you can find one that is ready to drink right away. Often these ready to drink wine lack the depth and layering of flavor that wine lovers crave. Sometimes you can get lucky and find both. This wine is fabulous and a fantastic value. Li...

August 13, 2008. Fireblock "Old Vines" Shiraz 2005. Clare Valley / Australia. Shiraz (Syrah) / $20.00. Some readers have e-mailed me asking why I have been on such an Australian wine kick lately. The answer is simple.I like Australian wine. Not only do I like the Australian style, but it is one of the few countries remaining with wines that I still consider a value. I tasted over 120 wines with John Larchet, owner of "The Australian Premium Wine Collection". The wine pours a dark purple. Immediately ...

June 13, 2008. Casal Garcia Vinho Verde Branco 2007. 5 - $8 / 88 points. I love the Spring and Early Summer. Days are longer, kids are out of school and most of us dust off the grill for 4 months of outdoor living. It is also the time of the year to transition to lighter wines. White, Rose and lighter bodied reds replace the heavy red wine we prefer in winter. It is a simple wine. Light colored with little body, this wine is easy to quaff. The citrus is refreshing on the front end. There are ...Brace you...

March 4, 2009. Chave - Cotes-du-Rhone - Mon Coeur - 2006. Rhone Region / France. Proprietary Blend / $18-$25. I just arrived back from Naples, Florida where I spent 4 exhausting days with some old friends. Every year I meet with these guys to play golf and get a few days away from the family. There may be golf during the day, but it is all about food and wine at night. There are some great values out there and we only found one worth mention. This wine is a blend of Syrah, Granache and a little bit of Ca...

October 30, 2009. Marques de Caceres - Rioja - 1987. Every once in a while a bottle of wine falls through the cracks. The more wine you have, the easier it is to lose one in the mix of racking and case boxes. Annually I go through my wines to try to find these sneaky bottles and get them back to where they belong. Two years ago I came upon a bottle of Spanish Rioja from Marques de Caceres. Well, the wine was put on racks when we got back to Annapolis waiting for the appropriate occasion. In 2000, my ...
