    Posted on Tuesday June 30th, 2009 at 19:13 in red wines, californian wine, red blend

    The headline is not a typo. The folks who create those tasty organic Clif Bars are now in the wine business too via the Clif Family Winery. My reaction to hearing about this was mixed. On one hand I thought it was great, after all, Clif Bars are p...

    Posted on Tuesday June 16th, 2009 at 19:14 in Cabernet Sauvignon, red wines, chilean wine, red blend

    Los Vascos is another producer that I’ve reviewed in the past.  In fact, they were one of the first Chilean producers to draw my attention.  One of the first things that many consumers notice about Los Vascos is that it’s owned by the h...

    Critters on wine labels is often something that will steer me in another direction because it is often indicative of not-so-good wine. I’m not the first person to bring this up, others wine aficionados also avoid the critter.  But many shopper...
