Fàilte! Welcome to the next installment of Exploring the Wine Glass. Mike and I are big proponents of you should drink what you like and you are the only one who can taste like you. We advocate the fact that everyone experiences the wine differently, so in these posts we do not discuss our tasting notes. Instead we include basic information…
In wine glasses! It has been quite some time, over 50 years, since Claus Riedel began making his impact on oenophiles all over the world. With over 100 varietal specific glasses, the Riedel family has taken their mission whole heartedly. Since that time there has been the question of does the glass really matter? This post is…

In this post we are going to delve even further into #MerlotMe and discuss Merlot food pairing. There are many wine…
It is that season again. Well, actually it is significantly early, but it is the time of year we all get excited about. It’s Harvest Time! When we started the winery, back in 2013, we harvested in November. In 2014, we harvested during Harvest Weekend in Paso Robles. (Oct. 17-19) And this year our Plummer fruit…
“No, if anyone orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any fu$%ing Merlot!” There you have it! Fourteen words that killed a great wine varietal. It is amazing how a movie [one I don’t think was that great anyway] can have such an impact. What is even more amazing to me, is that people who…
