Riesling Styles – Michigan or New York

April 15, 2010 – 7:00 am

Terry and I have an ongoing debate. He prefers the Riesling wines that we discovered on Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas in Michigan, while I favor Rieslings from around Seneca and Cayuga Lakes in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The Riesling wines from Michigan tend to have a hint of minerality on them. […]

This was a commemorative bottle featuring Temecula, California’s 150th anniversary from 1859 to 2009.  On April […]

Blogging about the “Wine Experience”

June 1, 2009 – 5:03 pm

Blogging about wineries is part of the whole “wine experience.” Do you remember the first time you walked into a winery tasting room?

A Riesling 2008 at Temecula Valley

April 14, 2009 – 8:08 am

  The other day we opened a bottle of Riesling that was full of aroma and flavor. Maurice Carrie Winery in Temecula Valley, California produces a 2008 Riesling that is delightfully aromatic and with a taste to match. The summer fruit nuances reminded me of peaches and pears. With an aroma of floral and fruit […]

On Saturday we bottled our first sweet wine. This was our second bottling of a wine produced from a kit.  Since our last bottling, we had purchased a floor model corker and it was definitely worth it. This corker only takes one person to cork a bottle. According to the wine kit, we should have […]
