Swirl & Sniff: On Rating Wine
http://swirlsnifftaste.blogspot.com/2005/03/on-rating-wine.html
Dedicated to the world of quality, no-pretense wines. Wednesday, March 16, 2005. Tom, over at Fementations. Noticed the rating system used here and had more than a few interesting things to say. About it. The folks at Drink Up! Also chimed in, among others. It's remarkable how many different, valid points of view there are on the subject. Different people have different goals when rating a wine (or interpreting a rating for that matter), for example:. Measure the quality of one wine against similar wines.

Dedicated to the world of quality, no-pretense wines. Friday, August 19, 2005. Wine: Coeur d’Alene Cellars Viognier. Apparently Viognier does not read this blog. Yikes A friend paid too much for it at a vegetarian restaurant which will go unnamed ( oops. The restaurant described it as spicy and pointed out with glee that it must be unfiltered because it's so cloudy. Sorry, it's not just unfiltered: it's flawed. But maybe this blog has earned at least the right to complain a little bit; there isn't too mu...

Dedicated to the world of quality, no-pretense wines. Saturday, May 14, 2005. Wine: Conde de Valdemar Rioja. There are no maps nor disciplines to help us find the duende. We only know that he burns the blood like a poultice of broken glass, that he exhausts, that he rejects all the sweet geometry we have learned." Federico Garcia Lorca. Translated literally by many as 'hobgoblin' or perhaps 'boogey man', the duende. While the Code de Valdemar doesn't come from Andalusia (Rioja is another region of Spain)...

Swirl & Sniff: Wine: Cavatappi Sangiovese
http://swirlsnifftaste.blogspot.com/2005/10/wine-cavatappi-sangiovese.html
Dedicated to the world of quality, no-pretense wines. Wednesday, October 12, 2005. If soup is anything in America, it is the food of fall. Spring pea soups and late summer tomato consommés are wonderful; real honest stews are something else altogether. In Oaxaca (pronounced wah-ha-ka ), a state in Mexico, soups are serious business. They are traditionally served as meals in themselves. As fine as vichyssoise. Can be, a hearty, spicy posole. Is to soup what a great grizzly bear is to the forest. The Wine ...

Dedicated to the world of quality, no-pretense wines. Wednesday, October 12, 2005. Catie over at the Through The Grape Vine. Blog recently wrote a post. On Zinfandel, its presence (or rather lack thereof) in Washington, and the "white zin" phenomenon. (Catie if you're reading this, I wanted to send this personally via email, but couldn't find any contact information! Is characteristic of the outstanding Chardonnays that Lucas produces.
