Whether you’re tired from trekking through Patagonia or beat from a near attack by a pack of wild guanacos, this refreshing wine from the land of Chile is a winner. It lands somewhere between a Merlot and a Cabernet Sauvignon…fruit forward with a slight bite at the end. Perfect when kicking your feet up in Valparaiso while watching the sea wolves beg for scraps. — a year ago

Vinho Verde...Iberian 2nd Division for Green Wine. Well, it’s a subtlety acidic and sweet concoction derived from something green...hence, what can go wrong? I can’t help but to rate this one high, as it was the great Gordon Gecko who once stated, “green is good”. — 5 years ago

Sinfully glorious. Well, technically not a sin if you don’t succeed your drink with a heinous crime or painful slander. It’s just a smooth and fruity Tempranillo which dances on the palette as a perfect compliment to a salty tapa or two. — 5 years ago

Oui. Oui. Oui.

Holy sweet feathering floating light Jesus, never again. Tastes like an unholy combination of moldy socks and fermented durian. Adios. — 4 years ago

Tre bien mes amis. Amour from a smooth unidentified varietal awaits your every savoury sip. I’d write more but I’m a bit too irve. Bonne nuit. — 5 years ago

Had this delicious red on a hot summer’s day. It’s almost instinctual to make a Tinto de Verano when drinking a Spanish red in summer, but not with this sublime tempranillo...no, no, no, this one is for sipping and savoring all in its native form. Pair with some pungent cheese, maybe some cabrales, and some garlicky caracoles, then call the boss and tell him you won’t be in, tomorrow. — 6 years ago

The French are as true to their Burgundy as American politicians are to lying. Sublime, smooth and deep…even for a non-lover of pino this wine delivers. — 4 years ago

Solid red. Muy bien. The Chileños never disappoint. — 4 years ago

Chinese New Year’s Eve...I felt compelled to fish up a bottle of Mou Tai for the occasion, but then I remember dipping into Mou Tai is comparable to drinking a bottle of hand sanitizer except it tastes worse. Quite the conundrum was setting in until I discovered a bottle of red with a cattle grazing square on the label...and guess what? It’s the Year of Beef. Boom. Purchase made, Malbec cracked and Ox wine consumed. Normally I give this one a solid 7.5, but since it is the Lunar Niu (Mandarin for Cow) Year’s Eve I bumped the rating up 0.8 because the number 8 is lucky in the Middle Kingdom. Gan Bei! — 5 years ago
