I can't believe this crap... now even the rapper formally known as Lil Jon has his own winery ! What happened? When did wearing beaucoup bling and busting out fat rap rhymes become a prerequisite for making well crafted wine. Clearly the wine market believes that we are dumb enough to buy a bottle based on a label, name, or in this case, rap sheet. Anyone ever try this stuff? Who's next? Is Lil Kim...

2007 Sauvignon Blanc ( http://www.ancientpeaks.com/ ) Vivid aromas of pear, gooseberry, and lemon zest. The pear impression continues on the palate, accompanied by integrated flavors of melon, pineapple, and green apple. The texture is bright and fresh, finishing with a crisp acidity. Our Sauvigon Blanc comes from one of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in the Paso Robles appellation. San Juan

Macedon, Victoria, Australia. Chardonnay. 14%. Diam. Approx $A70 An excellent wine. The nose is vibrant and in tune from the beginning, an expressive combination of peaches and nuts. For the briefest of moments, I thought this slightly hot, but by the second sip, I'm lost in its beauty. A haunting and intense combination of stones, fruit and texture. Excellent. 96.

This story was written by member Eleuthera and comes from the Wine Cellar group in the YumSugar Community . I recently had a chance to attend a wine tasting for Flichman from Argentina. I especially enjoyed the experience because I had a chance to chat with the winemaker, Luis Cabral de Almeida. From my standpoint, it didn't hurt that he was pretty hot also. We began with a bottle of their Chardonnay...

It is an area that offers good value, something we have been sniffing out even more than usual the last couple of years. The Rully Blanc " Les...

I am very lucky to live in Hudson Valley Wine Country with over 25 wineries. There are regional wines that will match any palate...

Visitors to Napa Valley, even those on their first trip, have a hard time missing the Grgich Hills winery, which sits prominently on the west side of Highway 29, its flower beds almost pushed right up against the edge of the blacktop. Of course, when the winery was established in the late 1970s there was a lot less traffic on that same highway, and founder Miljenko "Mike" Grgich was a young...
