Wine Blog & Wine Reviews by The WineGuy
A place to keep reviews of my favorite wines. I also started posting wine news to my wine blog for yours and my fascination. It has been a few years now and I have had a lot of friends ask me to recommend or buy them wines that have great taste, so I started keeping track of wines I liked, wine reviews, wine articles and wine tastings and merchandise here at WineGuys.info. I hope I can help you enjoy the art of wine as much as myself.
But please remember to drink responsibly.

Chianti - greatness of the sangiovese grape
Posted on February 22, 2008 - Filed Under Chianti, Wine Articles | Leave a Comment
A humble lesson in Chianti. So, I claim to love wine, but, lets’ be serious, I am not your eloquent professional. I’m just an avid drinker of the ripe stuff….Vino. However, I do like to read about it and I plan to add some character to my blog by posting links to some great educational and worldly knowledge….
Here’s one now…I found this great article which illustrates the art of creating Chianti:
http://www.nytimes.com/Chianti-Article
One of the simplest rules that I will quote below is:
The rules have changed frequently in the last 30 years. Since 2006, Chianti Classico has had to be at least 80 percent sangiovese. The remainder can be made up of indigenous grapes like canaiolo and colorino, or international varieties like cabernet, syrah or merlot.
That’s is something to know..it helps for those vineyards that walked away from classifying thier wines as Chianti because of the lack of structure to that wine in the industry.
Another great piece to read about are the wines they tasted on page two…here’s a run down of the wines they tasted…they have pricing, descriptions and ratings on thes site:
Fontodi Chianti Classico 2004
Querciabella Chianti Classico 2005
Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2005
BEST VALUE: Coltibuono Selezione RS Chianti Classico 2005
Monte Bernardi Chianti Classico 2005
Fattoria Viticcio Chianti Classico 2005
Geografico Chianti Classico 2005
Montesecondo Chianti Classico 2004

Wine News :: France is back on Top
Posted on February 20, 2008 - Filed Under Wine Articles | Leave a Comment
So, I just read an article talking about how France, one of the best wine making countries in the world, is making a run at the so called “New World” of wine making countries….the Australias, Chilian…etc. I’m excited by this, because for me, you take the old world knowledge and skill and bring that forward with some new found technology and BAM…great wine at great prices.
This will only improve over time and create better wines for us to try out. Read the full article here:

It also talks about some of the wines that have started the move up the wanted list, such as:
Arrogant Frog
Fat Bastard
the Rhoning Stones
Bois-Moi (Drink Me)
French Rabbit - in some new tetra packaging
Why not give them a try if you see them on the shelf?
