Spot O Wine: March 2009

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Lets go to Jerry's. 2323 E Thomas Road. Phoenix, AZ 85016. After eating at Denny's one too many times, having boring breakfast in an over crowded, kid screaming filled room I had to find a new place to go! This diner has been an original since 1966.or so they say, that was a bit before my time. Luckily they have redecorated since. Jerry's is not fancy or flashy, it is really good food at a very good price. The sink omelet is all the important food groups wrapped in a fluffy eggs.

Sunday, August 8, 2010. No bugs or grapes were poisoned in the making of this wine. Napa, CA 94558. Http:/ www.zdwines.com/. I would have to agree, ZD wines have been California Certified Organic. The chickens are "Pest Control" and "Fertilizer's". Being a huge fan of red wine, I was most excited about the Cabernet. 2007 Cabernet, Napa Valley to be exact. I had tried this wine at an event and fell in love! Sounds like an Internet dating profile.And yes I would date this wine! Of course if you are looking...

Wednesday, January 13, 2010. There is truth in wine, though it may take a little time". By definition: Attaining quality and style in the fermentation of the grapes and aging of the wine. By definition: Attaining fruit quality through agricultural decisions. You guessed it there are more decisions to be made once the grapes are grown and the vermin have been avoided! It is Harvest time! Yay, you say! When do you harvest? Summer of course.but do you pick in the morning, afternoon or at night? Adjusting th...

Monday, August 17, 2009. Back to Yountville California, located just north of Napa, this is where you will find the V Market. More importantly this is where Napa Style. After our whirlwind through Napa Style, which I am pretty sure my guy enjoyed. This time more than the last trip, we took my salt and had dinner at Bottega. Anything more than five minutes in a store and my guy starts getting restless! Have I mentioned how much I like salt? Am I crazy to think that is awesome? When first seated our server...

Spot O Wine: February 2010
http://spotowine.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 1, 2010. I have learned some things lately that might be common knowledge to Wine Geeks and experts, but to those just starting out on the wine journey I will share my new knowledge. Wine Geeks, let me know if I get any of this wrong. First of all French wine labels are SO confusing! The most important thing to do if you decide to get into wine, is plan ahead and pay attention in Geography class! If you know where every village in France and Italy are, you will learn this stuff way faster.
