Salutations Vinotrip readers. As I’ve rubbed elbows with the “traditional” wine media in recent months at various events, it seems there are a few main angles when it comes to wine writing. One camp focuses heavily on price, looking to answer the question “is this wine worth the money?” Others review on taste alone, passing [...]
Heard on @fiorewinery 21% off a case, serious stuff. None of this 10% nonsense that we’re normally accustomed to. Nor is it a sham where a store raises prices, then discounts from those inflated prices. Pick up a case to stock your cellar throughout the holidays.

Neglect comes from many factors: case purchases that weren’t as [...]
Savoy-Lee Winery near Smith Mountain Lake is up for sale, asking price is $1.79 million. Looks like a turnkey opportunity for someone who wanted to own a winery. Tasting room, offices, and wine making supplies: it’s all there. From the post on OWC. …located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on 117 acres, [...]
“How low is your net worth?” has become something of a recent social phenomenon. Just as people bragged about their (and their neighbors’) victories in the ballooing real estate market earlier this decade, people now almost celebrate how bad their 401(K) statements look.

October 13th is Piemonte, the 20th [...]
Picked this up from the LA Times of all places: Both Brooks Robinson and Eddie Murray have lent their names and likeness to a series of commemorative wines that will be sold for charity. Brooks Robinson Chardonnay and Eddie Murray 504 Cabernet Sauvignon are both on sale now and will be shipped in mid-June. Perfect [...]
Gary Vaynerchuk’s book 101 Wines is up on Wine.Woot today (and today only). $10.99 and $5 shipping gets you a signed copy delivered to your door. I haven’t read it, but 1WineDude posted a lengthy review yesterday. Link to Wine.Woot.
Wine.woot has a Corison Cabernet two pack up until Wednesday. $60 gets you one bottle of the 2000 and one bottle of the 2001. MacArthur Beverages has the 2000 for $45 up on Winesearcher.com, and the 2001 looks to be about $50 in some other stores. Getting both for $60 sounds sweet. Nevermind the fact [...]
Vinfolio has a cheap Muscadet in stock for $10: 2005 Ragotiere – Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Cuvee Vieilles Vignes (Don’t bother trying to memorize it) http://www.vinfolio.com/do/store/detail?vid=90826 Muscadet is made from a grape called Melon de Bourgogne, hardly fitting considering that the grape wasn’t used in Burgundy until very recently and even still is [...]
