Hello, and welcome to my weekly roundup of the wine stories that I find of interest on the web. I post them to my magazine on Flipboard, but for those of you who aren’t Flipboard-inclined, here’s everything I’ve strained out of the wine-related muck for the week. Tight, taut severity won’t please the drinker if its grip on the wine never …

The post Wine Reviews: Mini Round-Up for August 28, 2023 appeared first on 1 Wine Dude. I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a “mini-review” format. They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) …

One of the greatest pleasures in life is having a fully stocked cellar of mature wines to dip in and out of at will. With the world of wine evolving at a rate of knots, it is, of course, not quite as easy as that any more, even with the best will and the deepest pockets. For wine drinkers, the …

This marks the third vintage of this Kirkland wine that we’ve tasted, and it’s been pretty good in the past. Any Napa Valley Cabernet for $15 needs to be properly explored. And we expect a lot from the Kirkland portfolio of wines, so each year we go in with decent expectations. We’ve typically been happy, … Source : https://costcowineblog.com/2020-kirkland-signature-napa-valley-cabernet-sauvignon/

Longtime readers will know we regularly sing praises around the value wine buys you can find from Spain and Portugal right now. Here’s one of our favorite value priced Spanish white varietals, Verdejo, coming in at only $7.99. It’s no surprise as often these wines are under $10.

A muscular red, with iron, almond, tar and underbrush aromas that provide a savory element to the core of cherry and blackberry fruit. Dense, dusty tannins and a vein of mineral lend austerity as this announces “hands off” on the tightly wound finish. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Best from 2026 through 2045. 833 cases made, 400 cases imported. Source : …

We don’t see too many Bordeaux blancs in the Costco wine aisles and it’s too bad because they are really fun whites, usually inexpensive, and perfect when the weather is super hot like it is right now across much of the country. Costco’s price was $14.99, which seems pretty good since it looks to be … Source : https://costcowineblog.com/2021-chateau-reynon-sauvignon-blanc-bordeaux/

It’s been a little while since we’ve reviewed a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Costco, and this one popped up on our last visit and was a wine that we had always wanted to try. It’s a collaboration between Sarah Jessica Parker and New Zealand winery Invivo. There is also a French Rose as part … Source : https://costcowineblog.com/2022-invivo-x-by-sarah-jessica-parker-sauvignon-blanc/

In 20 years, Tasmania’s area under vine has doubled. At 2,100ha, the island’s vineyards remain ‘small beer’ compared to mainland Australia in terms of production. But as for performance – well, that’s another story. Australia’s southernmost state bagged 12 out of 13 Pinot Noir trophies at the country’s Capital City Wine Shows between 2021 and 2022. In 2022, not only …
