I think I know of a certain 2005 chard that has LOTS of these.
What is This White Stuff Floating in My Glass?
I love talking about wine. Those who know me can attest to the fact that I will ramble on ad nauseum about some bit of enological minutia that I'm the only one who gives a rat's ass about. Sometimes I catch myself dropping wine buzz words, seemingly with the assumption that everyone around me kn...
Well I was their 500th follower on twitter so I get to do the free portfolio tasting. Feel like heading down there anytime soon? I wouldnt mind sharing.
A Rose By Any Other Name - Duchman Family Winery
Things have been hopping recently for the folks at Duchman Family Winery. First, they started up their Movie in the Vineyard series, which sounds like a ton of fun, then they put the finishing touches on their name change (from Mandola Estate Winery), and then they pull down some major prai...
One of my favorite things about drinking wine is glass number 2 and onward. Don't get me wrong glass one can be great too. With the two reds (Blue Franc and Pinot) glass number 2 and three were MUCH better than glass number one. Both Ben and I agreed on that.

The Pinot opened up a bit quicker but after about three hours of the wine breathing in the bottle it had really reached a great plateau.
Thanks again for the wine and the second (and third) glass!

I have not really stopped thinking about that Blue Franc. I actually liked it a lot the more I think about it. The nose was great. I guess I came into it judging it by being a cab franc and I am not a huge fan but the more I had the more I liked (as usual). That is a bottle I will be picking up shortly.
A Taste of Michican in the Lonestar State
Last night I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in Tweet and Taste Michigan, hosted by Shannon Casey from Michigan by the Bottle. I had a couple of friends over to get their first taste of Michigan wine with me, and had a great time talking with all the other wine lovers who were...
