Comment on An evening with Greg and Morgan Norman and their wines!

Steve Howe — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 02:40:59 GMT

Greg Norman produces some great wines at very reasonable prices.

Comment on Barefoot Chardonnay non vintage, California $8

Michael — Wed, 27 May 2009 02:07:30 GMT

This is a surprisingly good wine for the money. I see some comments about how terrible it is and it's obviously from people who don't like wine in the first place. I've spent a lot more and gotten a lot less.

Steve Howe — Sat, 16 May 2009 03:10:26 GMT

This Sparkling wine is consistently a great wine.

Comment on 2006 Bonny Doon Big House Red, California $12

Laurie — Tue, 05 May 2009 21:34:05 GMT

I've been wanting to try a Bonny Doon wine since I read Eric Asimov's NY Times piece (from The Pour blog) on Randall Grahm. This is an affordable blend I'm looking forward to trying.

I love Lila's Cuvee as well. Thank you Lain for reviewing the Rhone Blend. And everyone here at Clos loves Lila too.

Comment on 2006 Big House The Slammer Syrah, California $13

Joseph White — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:49:32 GMT

I haven't had any of the Big House wines since they stopped being made by Bonny Doon - glad to hear this is a good one, and being a Syrah nut I'm definitely going to check it out!

Comment on Warre’s Optima 10 Year Old Tawny Port, Portugal $27

Randy Watson — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:57:45 GMT

You are right. Port is too often overlooked but shouldn't be when there are so many great selections such as this one!

Cheers!
