Les Deux Rives Corbières Rouge
I’m excited to be reviewing another French wine today as so often I’ve found that French wines are stylistically aligned to my taste preferences. This wine comes from the Corbières appellation in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in Sout...

Veramonte Primus Red Blend
I’ve long been a fan of white wines from Veramonte. Both their Chardonnay and their Sauvignon Blanc have garnered great ratings on this site. I was less thrilled with their Cabernet Sauvignon, but I was glad to have the opportunity to try a...

Domaine Sainte-Eugénie - La Réserve
You may have noticed that I haven’t updated this site in a couple weeks. A cold had me down—and not tasting wine—for a while, then with the holiday I just took a couple extra days to recuperate. I’m back, but I’m a little be...
Louis Bernard Côtes du Rhône
At first glance, the name “Louis Bernard” has a very regal appeal to it. It conjures up images of an old world wine producing family that has passed down the estate and wine-making knowledge for several generations. Ah, but how a name c...
