1-14-16 Word On Wine Hamilton Russell 2 Southern Right!
This week I continue my discussions with Anthony and Olive Hamilton Russell from Hamilton Russell Vineyard in Walker Bay South Africa. We talked about their Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc and Pinotage. Frankly, both were lovely and cost about $12. I love the Sauvignon Blanc and bought a case. I’m probably going to buy a case […]
1-7-16 Word On Wine Hamilton Russell Winery.
This week I am finally airing an interview I conducted with Anthony and Olive Hamilton Russell in the Fall. Their wines are really excellent and I was inspired to buy a case of their Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc and will probably soon purchase a case of their Pinotage. I was also inspired by their descriptions […]
12-21-15 Word On Wine Review: Vin De France…Again!
Today I am rerunning a show we did in November because in the interim I bought a case of La Chaussynette and enjoyed a bottle with good friends last night. I haven’t met anyone who didn’t enjoy this wine and you should to. You will probably need to order it but any good wine store […]
11-16-15 Word On Wine 2 Chiantis!
This week Mary reviewed 2 Chiantis. These were Chianti Colli Senesi which is an area worth looking into if you want to try something other than Chianti Classico. 1)2013 Chianti Carpineta Fontalpino. This was brought as a gift and very much appreciated! Here is a link to their website! We should all have such good […]
11-7-15 Word On Wine 2 Cold Weather Whites.
This week Mary takes one for the team and tastes two cold weather whites. The Riesling was particularly fabulous…I am only the slightest bit jealous. 1)2013 Seebrich Niersteiner Hipping Riesling Spatlese. Mary loved this especially with Asian food. A mere 8.5% alcohol and a total treat. At $15 a steal! 2)2012 Kientzler Pinot Blanc. Alsace. […]
10-31-15 Face the Music Halloween Listings!
Well Boys and Girls there was nothing scary at all about today’s show except for how scary good all the performances were. Our panel was Dave Donovan from Pratt Library Fine Arts and Phil Greenfield from The American record Guide. Frankly our music and performances were amazing. We almost feel bad about being so positive […]
10-29-15 Word On Wine Mixed Case!
This week Mary and I discuss what we would buy for a mixed case of wine. Mine is all French and Mary’s is much more catholic! (small c). Either way it says a lot about us and also has some great ideas. What would be in your mixed case? Drop us an e mail and […]
10-26-15 Word On Wine 2 White Bordeaux!
This week Mary and I review 2 White Bordeaux which are 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Usually this isn’t printed on the lable but in marketing to Americans it never hurts to say what’s in the bottle. Both of these wines were about $10 and both are a nice alternative to either new world SB from New […]
10-19-15 Word On Wine Go Cotes de Gascoigne!
It’s been ages since Mary and I had a chance to sample some wine together! Work gets in the way of so many important things. I bought a couple of whites from the Cotes de Gascoigne and we couldn’t have been happier. Both of these wines were made from a combination of Gros Manseng, Colombard […]
