Mouton 2004 label

To the Victors, the Spoils (Dude’s Take on Aged Champers & Mouton!)

Posted on October 8, 2020September 23, 2020 by 1WineDude

It’s undeniable that 2020 has been, by and large, a dumpster fire, sh*t-show of a year. BUT… it hasn’t all been fetid, noxious piles of flaming refuse. At 1WD HQ, there have been some aspects of 2020 fortuitous enough to justify breaking out the good stuff. And, I do mean the good stuff. For starters,…

Bacigalupi Vineyards team

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.

Fort Ross Vineyard lineup 2

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 10 (“The Vineyard Is the Style” – Fort Ross Vineyard Recent Releases)

Posted on September 17, 2020August 30, 2020 by 1WineDude

Add yet another locale to the list of gorgeous places that I’m supposed to be visiting, but the opportunity for which has been heinously denied to me due to the USA’s botched response to the current pandemic: Fort Ross Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast. My experience with FRV, as has been the new normal lately,…

Rocim wines

Alentejo Postcard, Part 3 (Herdade do Rocim Recent Releases)

Posted on August 5, 2020July 18, 2020 by 1WineDude
