Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 20: Cocktail Hour!

Posted on January 7, 2021February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

For many months since COVID-19 SiP rules and guidelines have prevented us wine industry folk from gathering live and in-person, we’ve been mixing it up by tasting samples simultaneously and meeting virtually via Zoom. In the case of the event that stars as the topic of today’s entry, however, we were literally mixing it up…

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 19: Call of the Wild (Kenwood Vineyards Recent Releases)

Posted on December 23, 2020February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

Wine and art congruences (is that actually a noun?) tend to be mostly marketing hype more often than not. So it’s especially fun when one turns out to not only be legit, but also LIT.

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 18 (Gran Selezione Chianti Deep Dive with Castello di Fonterutoli)

Posted on December 17, 2020February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

Usually, with these COVID-era virtual wine sample tastings, we end up with a good, small group of like-minded journalist types who imbibe and learn and ask questions about whatever vinous delicacies we have the luxury of being able to sip during a Zoom call. Occasionally, however, we end up with a good, large group of…

Lodi 2020 tasting

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 17 (Even MORE Zinfandel!)

Posted on December 10, 2020February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

It seems that people like to go big when it comes to their COVID SiP drinking these days. At least, that’s what I’m guessing the Lodi folks were hoping when they invited me to sample a handful of single vineyard Lodi Zinfandel releases as part of a presentation moderated by Stuart Spencer (of the Lodi…
