Dianna Genders has done it again with a McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon of substance.

Lonely Grape TV Episode 102 – 2009 Samuels Gorge Grenache

Lonely Grape — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 12:17:36 +0000

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

Lonely Grape — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:03:12 +0000

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.

Lonely Grape TV Episode #100 – Fox Creek Wines 2009 Short Row Shiraz

Lonely Grape — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 06:47:39 +0000

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.

Lonely Grape TV Episode #97 Inkwell 2010 Primotivo

Lonely Grape — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:12:27 +0000

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 #94 – Gancari Estate Rose

Lonely Grape — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 11:55:33 +0000

A 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 #92 – Sabella Pinot Grigio

Lonely Grape — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 23:09:17 +0000

I say hello to a friend – Sabella Vineyards. This time a crisp Pinot Grigio. Full of green apples and Nashi pears.

Lonely Grape TV Episode #91 Graham Stevens Wines 2011 Rose

Lonely Grape — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 07:28:57 +0000

My 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 #90 – Massey 2005 Bambino Shiraz

Lonely Grape — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 07:37:19 +0000

Massey Vineyards – a McLaren Vale wine producer I do not know anything about. After tasting this I will have to change that. I thoroughly enjoyed this 2005 Shiraz. Join me while I check it out!

Lonely Grape TV Episode #89 – Sabella 2008 Reserve Shiraz

Lonely Grape — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 07:46:13 +0000

My 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.
