1 Wine Dude : No Wine? Sorry, No Story.

I usually reply, if I reply, with a thank you for reaching out but I cannot recommend something I haven't tried. I am glad to know that it isn't just me. I thought that it was just because I didn't have the cred to get more from them. At least now I know it isn't personal? But I guess that is also the problem...hope you are well!

I'm perplexed by that as well. I responded recently and got the email requesting that I send them my numbers. How about checking that before you bombard us?

Mmmmm...looks delish. I, too, was the one with the charcuterie or homemade cookies in my orange tupperware lunchbox. No Dukes or Wonder woman for me. I wanted the oreos but my mother had the nerve to bake in the mornings. I just wanted to say that I love your blog and photos. Cheers to embracing your uniqueness!

I saw the stats yesterday at Alder's site. Guess I better not quit my day job. Oh, that's right I don't have a day job. When I was teaching the joke was, "My husband supports my teaching habit." I can use the same joke about my wine writing habit.

I'm saving a sample of that wine to share with other wine lovers and very much looking forward to it. I had the pleasure of meeting both Dave Jefferson and Alana Gentry this summer. Great people!

Several favorites in Sonoma, but the tour at Gundlach Bundschu stands out in my mind since you are on a Pinzgauer. There are also some lovely spots here in the Texas Hill Country. William Chris, Duchman are very different but equally fun.

That is why we all those fabulous fellow reviewers to help with the heavy lifting. :) Especially since I have been on my no-drinking-during-the-week thing, that leaves more budget (and liver cells) for weekend wines.

It isn't just the up and coming wine drinkers. As Passionatefoodie said, most people I know consider over $15 a splurge. Whether you are just starting out, or have to cut back because you now have the "diaper" line in your budget, there are many reasons why $30 is not a reasonable amount for most wine drinkers. That is why I do both "Monday" wines, around the $10 price point, and "Weekend" wines. The fun lies in finding the $12 bottles that drink like a $20-25 bottle. Rare, but gems when you find them!

"The word Montigl kind of looks like it belongs more to a Norse god than a vineyard, and this wine basically is a Valkyrie: feminine, beautiful, even delicate, yet full of deadly, sexy ass-kickery at a moment’s notice." I think I have a new favorite in the wine-description category! Cheers and thank you for hosting! Hope my palate gets in shape today as this cold fades so I can do a tasting of my own.

A great piece. I was astounded by the vast differences in the SV Rieslings I tried at Lamoreaux Landing. So close geographically, so different in taste profile. Yet another aspect of wine that makes me more enamoured all the time!

I love the Lamoreaux Landing, too! Here is my review of the winery including the 3 SV Riesling there. Red Oak was our favorite. Really big flavor. Honeysuckle and pear, creamy, yet bright, and delicious. http://wp.me/p1MvvL-6r

Right there with you! Although, I agree with Gabe. I am enjoying the nice prices that are resulting from the ridiculous bashing. Can I share my piece on Merlot? http://wp.me/p1MvvL-4o
