Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 26: Overachievers (Rodney Strong Recent Releases)

Posted on February 18, 2021February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

Rodney Strong founder Rod Strong was a bit of an… overachiever. We’re talking the-kind-of-person-who-you-thought-only-existed-in-World’s-Most-Interesting-Man levels of overachiever. Simply listing the guy’s bootstrapped résumé is enough to paint the proper picture: Senior class president, 3 sport athlete, theater regular, clarinet player, Army veteran, school dropout (he did that at the age of 18 in order to…

Sensi Pure Gold Prosecco Brut 2019

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 25: Like Handmade Pasta (Sensi Recent Releases)

Posted on February 11, 2021February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

“We do our wine like handmade pasta.” And in that little offhand quip, Massimo Sensi – part of the 4th generation behind Sensi wines, in operation since 1895 – pretty much summed up everything you need to know about his family’s perennially crowd-pleasing wine operation. Another way to get an insight into what Massimo and…

Sebastiani Cabernet lineup 2

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 24: Life’s a Bowl of Cherryblock (Sebastiani Cabernet Recent Releases)

Posted on February 4, 2021February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

Out of the many (many) virtual media/samples tastings I’ve taken part in remotely due to Covid-19 SiP, this one was near the top of my list as potentially most intriguing. That’s because this one was focused specifically on Sebastiani’s high-end Cabernet Sauvignon lineup (as guided by winemakers Sarah Quider and Mark Beaman), including the iconic…

Conegliano Valdobbiadene harvest

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 23: The Other Prosecco (Tasting Conegliano Valdobbiadene)

Posted on January 28, 2021February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

In my experience, most people don’t know Jack about Prosecco, despite the fact that we drink metric tons of it (pre-Covid 2019 saw some of the best sales numbers ever for the stuff). Which, generally, is just fine; most Prosecco isn’t worth getting to know deeply. Not that it’s bad, mind you (thankfully, Prosecco seems…
