In case you missed our last Rhone Valley wine review for the month of April, here it is. And stay tuned for May's wine theme!

Have we come to the end of Rhone month already? We must as I only have one more Rhone left on the rack to try! The last wine up is Pierre Amadieu “Roulepierre” 2009 Cotes du Rhone.

Another Wednesday, another Rhone Valley wine review!

Happy Marathon Week! Marathon Monday is one of my favorite days of the year here in Boston, especially this year as my little brother ran the race for the first time! It was one of the hottest Marathon Mondays on record topping out at 90 degrees. YUCK. So as tempted as I am to write about some o...

Starting in April we're back with brand new posts and a different wine theme every month! Every Wednesday will feature a new review of a wine from that month's theme. This month, the focus is on wines from the Rhone Valley. Check out the review from this past week, give the wine a try and let us know what you think!

This month we are going to be taking a look at wines from the Rhone Valley in southern France. Early spring is a great time for Rhone wines. It’s not warm enough to want whites yet, but you don’t want big spicy reds either. Many grape varietals are grown in the Rhone but the primary ones are Grenach...

I see Red Truck wines all the time and finally decided to try a bottle...

This is totally one of those wines that you see all the time and think, “Really? TRUCK? That does not make me want to drink this wine. It makes me think of dirt.” So in hopes of discovering something new and fabulous I grabbed a bottle as part of a 3 for $25 deal. And you know what? It was pre

Black Slate grenache/carignan blend - great new splurge wine!

Wow, it’s Friday already? Thank GOODNESS. Not that I am happy that my husband’s birthday week is drawing to a close, for his sake, but that DOES mean my birthday month is that much closer so I guess it’s a win-win (because clearly he’s super excited about my birthday month too, right? Why does he

Ever heard of Valdiguié? Neither had I until I unknowingly ordered a bottle last night, very interesting review!

Last night we met up with some friends in town for supper. The reservation wasn’t until 7:30 so we had some time to kill beforehand. We headed over to Stella, an adorable bar/restaurant in the South End. All decked out in chic Italian white, this is a great place to hang out and people watch. We

Awesome new Pinot Gris to try, perfect for spring!

Happy Monday, all! We tried a lovely new wine over the weekend that I am excited to share with you. It was suggested by Monique, our darling wine-lady at a local store near our house. Monique has not reccommended a bad wine yet, in fact, she is the one who led us to both Liberty School Cab and Ax
