Purple Lips Wine Log. Wednesday, March 08, 2006. Wine Blogging Wednesday #19, Rhone Varietals. This WBW we're are giving our reviews on Rhone Varietals. I chose an Eric Solomon Selection that I am enjoying. If you follow my blog you can see I have a liking for his imports from Spain. His wines always seem to hit the excellent value mark for me.

Purple Lips Wine Log: December 2005

Purple Lips Wine Log. Thursday, December 29, 2005. 2001 Stuhlmuller Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley. Rich, dark red-purple, aided by the 6% Petite Verdot included in the wine. Had nice legs and the edges are still crisp with no signs of early aging. Cherry, and dark plums come to mind with a herbacious potpourri character. The wine opens up in the glass to cedar, clove and licorice type aromas and a hint of damp earth. Posted by David Ogilvie @ 11:52 PM. Links to this post. I didn't...

Purple Lips Wine Log. Monday, April 24, 2006. The Wonderful World Of Gallo! These are only some of the mid shelf wines. So now that it's all out in the open, I just want to commend Gallo for making so many great wines, many of which are much more than just quaffable. Below are a couple of reviews from wines that I got to take home after the tasting and have opened in the past couple of nights. Rancho Zabaco, Sonoma Heritage Vines Zinfandel, 2003. Da Vinci 2004 Chianti. I give it a B. Links to this post.

Purple Lips Wine Log: November 2005

Purple Lips Wine Log. Monday, November 28, 2005. Wilson Vineyards 2001 Petite Sirah. Label at right is from '99 vintage, 2001 is a bit different). The color is typical of a Petite Sirah, inky purple, although the edges are turning brick red from a little oxidation. It's okay, it's okay, it just means that maybe it should be drunk sooner rather than later. The wine has good acidity making it cut through the oils of the sausage and fried potatoes I ate with it. Petite Sirah typically has a lot of tanni...

Purple Lips Wine Log. Sunday, June 25, 2006. A Great Summer White. Here is a great summer white that I had recently. Let me introduce you to Las Brisas. She is from the Rueda. Region of Spain's 2004 vintage, and loves warm weather. She offers a wonderful dry, crisp acidity with flavors of pink grapefruit, green apple, pear, and a slight grassiness from the Sauvignon Blanc portion of the blend; the rest being made up of Verdejo.

Label terminology: when seeing isn’t believing. A conversation with Randall Grahm about social media. Has social media ever sold anything, besides itself? On Aug 31, 2009 in Social Media. Was at the Napa Valley ranch of a friend’s parents, for their annual celebration of all things Portuguese (the sopa was. I wondered Where do you go from here or, put another way, is there another rabbit to pull out of that hat? Call me a revanchist if you want. It’s a common charge against someone who dares to quest...

Purple Lips Wine Log. Thursday, January 19, 2006. McLaren Vale, The Hermit Crab 2004 Viognier Marsanne. This wine has a good amount of oak on the nose, and a sharp mineral note. Honeysuckle and orange also make a presence as the wine opens up more. This wine is not really my style but I know a lot of people come into my store looking for a wine just like this. It definitely has its place on the shelf with the rest of the aussie blends. Posted by David Ogilvie @ 10:39 PM. Links to this post. Contest will ...

Purple Lips Wine Log: September 2006

Purple Lips Wine Log. Monday, September 11, 2006. A couple good Beers! I enjoyed these two high gravity beers a couple nights ago. You would normally thing that two beers are pretty manageable but being that one was 10% and over a pint and the other was 7.4% alcohol and a full pints worth, I was pretty toasty by the end of the two rounds. I tried them both together so as to get a better comparison between the two with out the effects of the alcohol to obscure my thoughts. Below are a review of both.
