A community portal about Wine with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of the juice of fruits, usually grapes. Although a number of other fruits - such as plum, elderberry and blackcurrant - may also be fermented, grapes are naturally chemically balanced to normally ferment completely without requiring extra sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Non-grape wines are called fruit wine or country wine. Other products made from starch based materials, such as barley wine, rice wine, are more similar to beers. The English word wine and its equivalents in other languages are protected by law in many jurisdictions.

Thirty minutes later it is still developing, expanding in flavor, and offering bold, rich, concentrated yet lively and vibrant aromas and flavors. It is a big, intense, ageworthy Chardonnay that should last for at least another five years." "In the glass, green hues...

THE 2003 VINTAGE:
The winter was cool with aboce-average rainfall continuing
well into late spring. The growing season started out slowly and by the middle
of summer we were about two weeks behind our normal maturation pattern.
Complete ripening was assisted by the slightly below-average crop load and
having the patience and vine health to wait out a...

Filed under: WineMost wine is released the year it is ready but Smith-Madrone Winery has an interesting approach, it re-releases its older Rieslings. This year the winery is re-releasing its 2002 Riesling. Why re-release? The winery's founder and General Partner Stuart Smith says they do this because "we love how Rieslings age and develop and we want to give people the opportunity to taste what a moderately aged Riesling is like." He says...

Tasting Notes: A wonderful value, the 2003 Piece de Roche Corbieres was produced from Carignan planted in 1895 on 50% Riparia Gloire and
50% Rupestris.
Evocative notes of herbs and green shrubs (rosemary and pine stand out) waft from the glass, together with fresh red raspberry. Big berry fruit flavors and resinous herbs fill the mouth. The polished
tannins (without benefit of wood) do not detract from the very satisfying, freshly-fruited...
