With winter around the corner most people tend to lean towards a red wine. Reds have more body, feel warmer on a cold day. I would suggest you keep drinking white wines. White wines can pair very well with creamy dishes. I can think of a few this wine would pair well with, Wild Rice…
Thanksgiving was just a week away when I realized that I had very little white wine to share. We had all of our kids and their spouses coming and another couple, along with their adults kids too. Most of which enjoy drinking wine. I continue to tell people about great South African wines as I keep trying new…
The product was provided for free however the review is my honest opinion. The final Cellar Pass TV episode was hosted at the 2014 Napa Valley Film Festival during the week of November 12th through November 16th. The Mission of the Napa Valley Film Festival, a non-profit cultural organization, is to celebrate the cinematic arts…
It’s our goal that Chris and I visit a new winery or two when we’re in the Valley. Our trip last June brought us to a small winery in Calistoga. We arrived early afternoon with some friends on a very warm, sunny day (it was forecasted to be 100ºF and it was getting hot!) Some winery’s require…
Chris and I hosted dinner at our house with another couple. Chris prepared the food and we asked our friends to bring a bottle to share. They brought a bottle of 2010 Shug Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. More recently, Pinot Noirs hasn’t been on Chris’s favorite list and she’s preferred more of a jammy flavored Pinot Noir.…
Last spring we had received our normal two bottle red reserve wine club shipment. In the shipment was a bottle of 2011 Vintners Red Blend. While trying the wine, it was quite clear it is not the same style wine that we have grown accustomed to over the years. Frankly we thought the wine was…
Since returning from France last summer, we have not had the opportunity to drink many French wines. I do love wines from France so when the opportunity arrives I will drink it. Last year we had a tasting at Sunfish cellars that included the 2011 J.L. Chave Selection “Celeste” Saint-Joseph Blanc. We enjoyed the wine so…

I constantly search for good South African wines. Recently I had tried and blogged about the 2007 Grand Plaisir Red Wine. I enjoyed that wine so I assumed I would enjoy the 2008 Plaisir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon just as much. Unfortunately, I was left underwhelmed wanting more from the bottle. With that said I will keep…
Chris and I have been preparing to put our house on the market in March 2015. Since we are downsizing most of our furniture and other items in our finished basement are going. It was pretty easy getting rid of the bar lights and hangings as our boys took the items that are now on…
Winter came early this year. On my Birthday November 10th, we were lucky (not really) and received over a foot of snow. Chris and I had to shovel and plow three times that day. Before the storm Chris was on a girls weekend at the Wisconsin Dells. She and her friends had to cut the…
As I write this blog, there are only two remaining CellarPassTV episodes left this year. The October 29th episode – Hall – St. Helena Interactive Wine tasting and November 14th – a special Napa Valley Film Festival broadcast. I have enjoyed participating and tweeting during the live episodes and I hope Cellarpass.com has enjoyed my presence. I look forward next year…
