It has happened! Our sommelier David Foss has fallen in love. Okay, maybe love is still too strong a word—- but he has picked out his current favorite winemaker! The wine to do him in? The 2000 Lopez de Heredia “Viña Tondonia” Gran Reserva Rosado Rioja. This rosé is unique, unlike the other girls errr…. I… [Read More...]
There are plenty of good high-priced bottles of wine on the market. But that doesn’t mean I want to spend $50+ dollars for a casual evening.
