Lonely Grape TV Episode 102 – 2009 Samuels Gorge Grenache
29 01 2012Join 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 2012A 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.

Lonely Grape TV Episode #94 – Gancari Estate Rose
13 11 2011A wine style that seems to be an emotional roller coaster – Rose. Like it or love it this style seems to get people talking about the style and having an opinion about it. This style is quite dry and suits me. What do you think?

Lonely Grape TV Episode #91 Graham Stevens Wines 2011 Rose
30 10 2011My first 2011 wine from McLaren Vale and I am so glad it was this one. The red fruits of Grenache just engulf you in the wine made for pure enjoyment. I enjoyed it (if you had not noticed) and I hope you check it out as well.

Lonely Grape TV Episode #89 – Sabella 2008 Reserve Shiraz
15 10 2011My Son, Tyler, and I share with you one of the most interesting marketing plays I have seen in winemaking. The winemaker is allowing us the consumer make the decision about how much oak maturation the wine gets as there is an oak block in the bottle. We then decide when to open the bottle and check out the effect of this wooden block.
