Getting Crushed (at the Wine Crush Blog)

Date: Fri, Jun 25, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

1WineDude.com has never (and will never) accept sponsored articles, which means that whatever you read on its virtual pages is purely the product of my somewhat deranged mind. I do need to feed my family, however, and so I have been taking some paid writing gigs on the side. One of those gigs has been [...]

Calling the Brett Police on the Loire

Date: Thu, Jun 24, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Earlier this week, I shared a brief twitter exchange with Wine Spectator senior editor James Molesworth, kicked off by a tweet about a Chinon tasting that I noticed on James’ twitter feed: “That was a tough flight – I’m more tolerant than most, but someone needs to send the brett police to Chinon…” Essentially, James [...]

The Art of Simplification: An Interview With Andrea Robinson

Date: Wed, Jun 23, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Many, many wine personalities talk about wanting to make wine more accessible and simple for consumers; few deliver in the manner that today’s interview guest, Andrea Robinson, has. She’s practically raised the task of simplifying wine to an art form. After ditching a 9-to-5 day job (“surely there is a special place in Heaven for [...]

Drinking Nectar on DrinkNectar.com (Pairing Dessert Wine with Interviews)

Date: Tue, Jun 22, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Last night I had the pleasure of both drinking some damn good nectar (2004 Klein Constantia Vin de Constance) and doing a Skype video interview with DrinkNectar.com’s Josh Wade.  Josh asked me about the “Advance Wine Blogging” panel at the upcoming 2010 Americas Wine Bloggers Conference.  He also interviews Joe (The Suburban Wino) Herrig about [...]

Vintage of the Decade? (the 2007 Port Rampage)

Date: Mon, Jun 21, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

First things first, we need to make it clear that I am not an authority on Port, fortified wines, or spirits. This has everything to do with lack of tasting experience and nothing whatsoever to do with a lack of affection for those general libation categories. In fact, I have a sweet-tooth and I never, [...]

Date: Sat, Jun 19, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

07 Paraiso "West Terrace" Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands): Think red berry fireworks, only in your mouth. Showing beautifully. $40 A- # 07 Paraiso Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands): Lemon & a sweet touch of vanilla tat are balanced enough to belie 14.5% booze factor. $18 B+ # Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny Port (Porto): Enough [...]

It’s Time For the PLCB to Die (or “There is NO Cabernet Franc”)

Date: Thu, Jun 17, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

It’s been a while since I railed against the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. Not that they haven’t deserved a good railing in the interim, I’ve just been busy with other topics, and the PLCB has been busy raiding PA bars at great taxpayer expense and with no justifiable reason, so they’ve been dealing with plenty of [...]

Date: Tue, Jun 15, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

The 2010 Americas Wine Bloggers Conference is nigh upon us (June 25-27 in Walla Walla, WA), and I’m getting excited to attend (despite the major pain in the ass it is going to be for me to even get to Walla Walla from Philly in the first place). There’s a great deal to be excited about [...]

Weekly Twitter Wine Mini-Reviews Round-up for 2010-06-12

Date: Sat, Jun 12, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

09 Trapiche Torrontes (Mendoza): Much to like for tropical fruit lovers; Torrontes fans might find much to gripe about (except price). $7 C+ # 08 Ruffino Chianti (Chianti): Only about 75% Sangiovese, but it’s a total chewy cherry, crowd-pleasing steal of a deal nonetheless. $9 B- # 07 Novelli “Rosso Cube” (Umbria): Probably the earthiest, spiciest, darkest [...]

Date Night Winners (and Losers)

Date: Thu, Jun 10, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

Last week, Mrs. Dudette and I had the (relatively rare) treat of a double-date night with our groovy neighbors.  Since this excursion into the (now strangely fascinating) world of conversation that doesn’t involve Elmo took place at a fabulous BYOB joint in (a recently revitalized and restaurant-friendly) downtown Phoenixville, PA – Majolica – you might [...]

1WineDude TV Episode 12: Welcome to My (Wine Storage) Nightmare

Date: Wed, Jun 9, 2010 Wine Tasting Winery Blogs Wine Business

In the latest 1WineDude video installment, I test out a sample of wine racks from GrottoCellars.com, act like an immature goofball, impose my will onto an unsuspecting Roomba robot vacuum cleaner at high video speeds, and tweak out my back. Just another day at the office! Cheers!

07 Ghost Pines Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma/Napa Counties): Mr. toasty oak told Ms. Blackberry that he'd "be gentle." But he lied. $23 B- # 07 Ghost Pines Merlot (Sonoma/Napa Counties): Frighteningly supple crowd-pleaser.
