Join me checking out another emerging variety – this time a Lagrein. I have tried this variety before and I am amazed at the milk chocolate character this wine seems to provide.

Lonely Grape TV Episode 102 – 2009 Samuels Gorge Grenache

29 01 2012

Join me in sharing my favorite grape variety from one of my favorite wineries – Samuels Gorge Grenache. Part of the McLaren Vale Cadensia Project. A regional marketing of Grenache. This variety can make excellent wine but it is not really known by the every day consumer.





Lonely Grape TV Episode #101 – Pertaringa Aglianico

23 01 2012

A treat for me and I hope a treat for you. The grape variety Aglianico from Southern Italy is a varietal I have never tried before. I was certainly impressed – enough to want to try more from this variety.

Thanks for joining me on the 100th episode of Lonely Grape TV. As this is a special treat I am sharing a bottle on 2009 Fox Creek Wines Short Row Shiraz. A wine I had some involvement in making as I did most of the laboratory analysis of the grapes, ferments and wine, during my 18 months at Fox Creek Wines.

From the Braydun Hill stable, this Shimply Shiraz is a pleasant surprise and I can see why it is a recent award winner.





Lonely Grape TV Episode # 98 Pikkara 2010 Shiraz

10 12 2011

A newly bottled 2010 Shiraz from a really small McLaren Vale producer – Pikkara. This will be one to watch. All the usual character of McLaren Vale Shiraz.





Lonely Grape TV Episode #97 Inkwell 2010 Primotivo

3 12 2011

Join me while I taste one of the few Zinfandel’s I have tried.  I would have to say that this one is my favorite.

 





Lonely Grape TV Episode #96 Leibich Vintage Fortified

27 11 2011

Vintage Fortified style seems to be a dying expression of the fermented grape.  It is a pity as this style can be excellent.  I do like this version – check out my comments.
