Extracrunchy: Value is suddenly fashionable
http://extra-crunchy.blogspot.com/2008/09/value-is-suddenly-fashionable.html
Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Value is suddenly fashionable. You know the economy is in trouble when Eric Asimov at the New York Times writes an article on finding good wine values. His most salient advice: "Even with the pitiful exchange rate, France is the greatest source of wine bargains in the world.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jaboulet 2005 Muscat De Beaumes-De-Venise. Value is suddenly fashionable. 2006 El Quintanal - Ribera Del Duero.

Extracrunchy: September 2008
http://extra-crunchy.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Jaboulet 2005 Muscat De Beaumes-De-Venise. I stayed late at work tonight, so late that I missed the last express bus home. I originally planned to take the bus tunnel. And walk home the rest of the way, but Jenny offered to meet me at Whole Foods where we could shop for dinner groceries and drive home together. All in all, an exceptionally delicious dessert course. Value is suddenly fashionable. This blog is squarely focused o...

Extracrunchy: April 2008
http://extra-crunchy.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Monday, April 28, 2008. Chateau Paul Mas - 2005 Coteaux Du Languedoc. 15 at McCarthy and Schiering. It's late, so this is going to be short. According to the label on the back, it's a syrah/grenahce blend. It has the lovely, smooth, dark fruit of good syrah and the nice tannins to boot. It's very full bodied, Jenny says it "tastes like a November wine." In short, well worth the $15. Thursday, April 24, 2008. Douro - 2006 Vale Da Clara. Apparently I forgot a...

Extracrunchy: 2006 Domaine de Montine - Coteaux Du Tricastin
http://extra-crunchy.blogspot.com/2008/09/2006-domaine-de-montine-coteaux-du.html
Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. 2006 Domaine de Montine - Coteaux Du Tricastin. 12 at McCarthy and Schiering. I won't buy more. Ive been told wines dont always travel very well. We visited Domaine de La Montine on our way back from Monpellier and the wines tasted great! Maybe drinking in the hot weather helped!

Extracrunchy: Tenuta Ponte - 2007 Coda Di Volpe
http://extra-crunchy.blogspot.com/2008/10/tenuta-ponte-2007-coda-di-volpe.html
Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Sunday, October 12, 2008. Tenuta Ponte - 2007 Coda Di Volpe. This wine is all over the place. I've seen it in restaurants, grocery stores, and at McCarthy and Schiering (though not for a while). Coda Di Volpe is an obscure varietal (the Wine Lover's Companion is silent) of ancient origins commonly grown in Campania. This bottle hails from Irpina, just a few miles from Napoli.

Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Friday, October 17, 2008. 2006 Ravenswood Petit Sirah. Last week I received my copy of Esquin's monthly newsletter, and I highlighted several tempting bargains. After work tonight, Jenny and I drove down and picked up a case from my selections. I can't recall the price, though it was under $10. I wouldn't buy it again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2006 Ravenswood Petit Sirah. Tenuta Ponte - 2007 Coda Di Volpe.

Extracrunchy: 2004 Lan Rioja
http://extra-crunchy.blogspot.com/2008/10/2004-lan-rioja.html
Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Sunday, October 12, 2008. A great bargain at $11 from McCarthy and Schiering. Totally delicious with a gentle perfumey vanilla scent from oak aging. I wrote about this wine in the pre-blog days, but I haven't seen it for a while. I'm going to order a case before it disappears again. Ive heard the LAN crianza is great value for the price.usually around $11 or $12. Im going to grab some next time I see it. January 21, 2010 at 3:50 PM.

Extracrunchy: June 2008
http://extra-crunchy.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Mostly) inexpensive wines available in Seattle. Saturday, June 28, 2008. A random 2001 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Dave, never having been to San Francisco before, really wanted to go into the city (the conference was at a hotel near the airport). We hemmed and hawed for a while, trying to figure out where we'd go and the best way to get there. After some minutes, it was clear that we were making no progress, so JJ just started walking to the front of the hotel. We shared two appetizers. The first ...
