WINECENTRIC: PETER LEHMANN BAROSSA SHIRAZ - 2006

[WINECENTRIC] This is probably the most approachable Shiraz from Peter Lehmann in years. In the past, this wine has been concentrated and saturated but suffers from alcohol that is over-the-top and out of control.

[On the Wine Trail in Italy] Somehow, thirty years ago, I decided to move back to Texas, one step closer to the Italian reality that my grandfather left 100 years ago. And while I doubt I’ll complete my grandfather’s circle and return to Italy permanently, I somehow am attached to Italy more than my grandfather.

The Oil Drum | Scenario 2020: The Future of Food in Mendocino County

[Untitled] Mendocino County used to have its own grain mills that farmers would sell to, even in "Little Lake Valley" which is a seasonal lake in the northern section. I estimate about 4000 of the 12,000 acres here is too wet to plant with annuals, but makes a nice summer pasture.

Chicago Foodies: Deep in the Heart of Texas: 2005 Spicewood Merlot

[Chicago Foodies] Traditionally Merlot has been a mixing grape in Bordeaux and other southern French regions, though there are a few Bordeaux wines that are 100 percent Merlot, such as the extremely pricey ChÃ¢teau Pétrus. For me Merlot has always been a welcome grape that is more medium-bodied than Cabernet Sauvignon.

2006 Carlisle Zinfandel Sonoma County (USA, California, Sonoma ...

[CellarTracker Tasting Notes (all notes)] I might be in the minority here, but it feels like the Petite Sirah in the blend is a little overpowering, covering up some of that gorgeous Zinfandel fruit and probably adding quite a bit of the tannin that you'll find here. After settling down and becoming much better on day 2, it looks like this is a Zin that definitely needs some time in the cellar, and will probably have a long lifespan as well.
