Magnifico Cuvee Bianco

Sometimes, a name really does say it all. The wines of Magnifico are nothing short of magnificent. They span Italy, from Tuscany, to Sicily and beyond. These beautiful wines showcase the best the country has to offer, which, by the way, is quite a bit, when it comes to wine. This blend is classically Italian, with crisp and refreshing notes. With some subtle and well-balanced tropical fruit flavors, this wine showcases quite a bit. With a refreshing finish of minerality, this is a great pair for fresh salads or seafood

The Welcome to the Wall get into multiple topics this day such as what is Credit to the rich and the poor.  How using money to gain happiness or the end result of what money buys brings happiness.  Is travel really worth it? Then the topic of Nurture vs. Nature came up.  Very interesting. 

Georges Duboeuf - Beaujolais Nouveau 2017

The arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau from Georges Duboeuf is an annual celebration. A bright and brambly version, with light tannins and a subtle, minerally underpinning to the flavors of black raspberry, mandarin orange peel and fig.  Here's my take on this new Holiday drink.

A Ghost Story review

In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try to reconnect with his bereft wife.

That was summary to the movie but anyway, Alicia and I watched this critically acclaimed movie called A ghost Story separately after I was recommended to watch and review this independent film.  This love, spiritual and exploration of time story is an interesting view of what love and time does to a person when you have no control of what can be done.

Free run Paperbark Chardonnay

From a fifth-generation winemaking family in southern Australia’s historic Barossa Valley region, Paperbark wines are as loveable as their namesake, an Australian tree with peeling bark and fluffy white flowers. 2016 Paperbark Chardonnay is a pale yellow in the glass, sharing aromas of ripe peach with notes of tart citrus. This barrel-matured wine’s palate is medium bodied, with notes of nougat and spice from wild fermentation, and a hint of vanilla from oak aging

Tuesday Night White (Sauvignon blanc)

This Sauvignon Blanc was very ordinary and came from a Groupon deal from the Splash wines distributors.  This light aromatic wine is not a stand out from most other sauvignon blanc wines.  The taste is ordinary and should be used as a compliment to food as oppose to a great stand alone wine.  Wine connoisseurs stay away, beginners its good to learn and build your palate on.  Check out online reviews on Groupon wines to get more details about the distributors​​​​​​​
