I like this beer. Costly, but one bottle does the trick.

Alban does the most amazing Roussanne Rhone inspired white wines. If you like reds, and shy away from whites, this one will impress you. Cheers. Perfect with scallops.

@latestinspace The only electronic device from that era that I own, and even use occasionally, is a Heathkit AJ-1214 AM/FM radio. The Voyager 1 design broke the mold. There are not enough kudos that could be gathered to honor the team who designed, built, and launched what is now interstellar.

Let this 2012 Ridge Monte Bello settle in. Rated 98 upon release, this is living proof that this baby goes the distance. Still racy yet balanced as originally described in the rating, it now is moving into dark berry and leather. Totally classy and worth every penny.

Up from the cellar: Jennifer’s Pinot Noir – Would you believe that there are those who say, “A good Pinot will change your taste in wine forever!”? Who knows, maybe that’s true. Could it be that Jennifer’s may be the wine to put that statement to the test?

The end of an Arizona summer could be no better celebrated than with a bottle of Freemark Abbey's Josephine. Think she would have loved the complex, elegant nature of this 2012 vintage. Dark cherry, fine tannins and amazing acid balance just for starters. See you on the patio!

Southwestern Eggs and Sparklers: Scrumptious – Eggs and bubbly simply work with brunch. But how does sparkling wine pair with our favorite southwestern egg dishes? Well, it works better than you think, especially with these award-winning local sparklers.

L’Ecole Semillon: Pairing Champ with Seafood! – Many seafood recipes add sauces and stuffings that can upset traditional wine pairings. A white Bordeaux excels in these cases, but @lecole41 is a Washington State producer with a domestic answer. Try it!
