Some Great Wine
Had any great wine lately? Well, these fellow wine bloggers have, and they're namin' names:

Puligny-Montrachet
2002 (Louis Latour) wine review by (PB)
Another point about Binny's: As I was walking to the register the
Binny's wine info guy says, "That's a great wine but we have had some
cracked corks in those bottles with some seepage.
Pinot
Noir 2007 Trade Tasting (The North Island) ...
Another great wine - very subtle and complex with good palate weight,
and nicely structured earl grey tannins; it had warm red cherry and
plum fruit with lovely floral violet notes and white pepper spice.
Tasting
the wines of Piedmont
This great wine should be paired with rich food such as beef braised in
wine, wild mushroom risotto, and truffles.
Benvenuto
Brunello 2007
Just as folks are gathering up here in Napa Valley for the Premiere
Napa Valley, in Italy other wine-lovers are already starting to taste
and evaluate the new vintages of Brunello from one of Tuscany's great
wine territories.
A
Special Bottle: Rosenblum Cellars 2002 Monte Rosso Zinfandel (Sonoma
County)
Take a great wine and a great setting, and you're in for quite an
experience.
This
Week's Wine March 12, 2007
Actually, there are as many mysterious, still-unknown reasons for great
wine as there are for wine that falls flat in the glass.
Follow
the Yellow Barrique Road
The region makes some of the great wine of the world, but we all flock
to Burgundy and Napa, to Bordeaux and Tuscany.

the previous wines a little on the simple and unexciting side - a great
wine but not of the class ... brilliant stand out wine - but the
overall standard was high. In fact I'd go so far as to say that pretty

About Wine
If you are looking for winemaking information on the order of 'you must
be a poet to make a great wine', then this is the movie for you.
An
Aussie Winemaker in France
While France has probably one of the longest wine making traditions in
just about the world, Australia has been catching up, and that includes
finding different ways to do the same thing - make great wine.
2004
Kuentz Bas Alsace blanc
This would be a great wine when you want your food to be the star of
the show.
Party
Wines
Definitely a hit, and its Stelvin screw-top closure made it a great
wine for a party.
1999
Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc
We all know that sometimes a “great
deal” isn’t so great. Wine is no exception. When I
find ... , it is. But sometimes, the great deal is just that.
Distributors close stuff out perfectly good wine when ... ’s
release to clear space for new wine. Or when they simply have too much

It
Is Alive
No one knew for sure about ml until the early 20th century, and
winemakers were certainly surprised to find that a bacteria, otherwise
considered the enemy of quality wine, would play such an important and
useful role in creating great wine. And plenty of great wine (perhaps
most) was and is made with a hands off approach, so Im trying my best
to experiment with that route and see what I learn.
