Vino Vinyasa & German Sekt

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 16 (German Sekt and… Yoga. Because Sure, Why Not?)

Posted on December 3, 2020February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

Ok, sure, what the hell. I’m not exactly sure what to think of what happened during the online media tasting from Wines of Germany that I attended a few weeks ago, as part of their German Wine from Home promotional program. They definitely get points for originality, though. In this particular event, titled Vino Vinyasa…

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 15 (Tasting Legendary Zinfandel Vineyards)

Posted on November 25, 2020February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

This late in the COVID SIP game, the entire wine industry pretty much has the ZOOM tasting thing down pat. The flurry of tasting invites has been getting intense in the final stretch of 2020, so much so that I’ve been a) having to decline several competing tastings, b) totally losing track of what sample…

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 13 (The Evolution of Modern Carménère with Terra Noble)

Posted on November 5, 2020February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 11 (“Just Babysitters” – Bacigalupi Recent Releases)

Posted on October 1, 2020September 11, 2020 by 1WineDude

Out of the dozen or so virtual, online, live sample tastings in which I’ve participated the last several months (necessitated due to the COVID-19 pandemic), I might have been looking forward to this one with Bacigalupi Vineyards the most. The thing is, I am kind of a fan boy for their matriarch, the indefatigable Helen…
