At Arugula with Ellen and Dominique. Learned: Sancerre is located on the left bank of the Loire River, in the Loire Valley, right in the center of France (some 125 miles from Paris). Overlooking the river, the vineyards of Sancerre are spread over 7200 acres of rolling hills, with perfect conditions for cultivating vines. The same chalk famous in the White Cliffs of Dover runs down through Champagne and Chablis into Sancerre, where it is cut through by a series of small valleys, each with their own microclimate and terroir. The two grape varieties used in Sancerre are Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The white wines are fresh, fruity, and elegant, the roses are delicate and subtle, and the reds are perfumed and smooth.

This deep, ruby red, medium-bodied wine has berry fruit flavors and a beautiful balance. Produced in the wine region of Lisboa in Portugal, where the low rolling vineyards lie between the Tagus River and the Atlantic Ocean. Here the grapes benefit from the warm sun and cool maritime breezes. — 11 years ago

A blend of grapes, including Cabernet and Shiraz. Mellow, a tad sweet, and delicious. Great for that everyday glass of red wine that's good for the heart! — 13 years ago

Lots of orange peel, light licorice from fennel afterward. Made without star anise and the distiller is coming out with 3 more varieties with different mixes of botanicals — 11 years ago

Acidic notes on the nose - key limes and River stones. Lovely rolling bubbles tickle the tongue. Lemon-lime curd on the palate. — 11 years ago

Dynamic wine. Big and Zin-like but with extra spice. Like rolling your tongue thru a car wash of flavor, texture and ending with a clean finish — 13 years ago

Distilled so it's clear. Based on arabica (tastes like a very high quality coffee maybe stumptown?) — 11 years ago

Very soft and drinkable for straight gin. Long finish that reminds you what it is, though — 11 years ago

'Sts right, bitches. It's good. Not typical Zinfandel. All that dried little fruit satsuma-mandarin, dried cherry, holiday spice, with rolling rock silty lushness that is so that site. Hell yeah. — 12 years ago
