Enter CDP: 2009 Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Posted on December 1, 2012 by sean

2009 Weinkellerei Römerhof Riesling

Posted on January 6, 2012 by sean

Another “daily drinker” sort of wine. I picked this up in Whole Foods on a whim, hoping it would be more on the dry side than the sweet side. It turns out it is somewhere in between. I’m tasting some … Continue reading →
