Wine Blog & Wine Reviews by The WineGuy

A place to keep tasteful wine reviews of my favorite wines. I started posting wine news to my wine blog for you and everyone else, sometimes it there is humor involved because I drank the whole bottle before I posted....hiccupppp!. But Seriously, It has been a few years now and I have had a lot of friends ask me to recommend different wines from Chile or Spain or Italy or California...and then they want to run out and buy them. So I started keeping track of the wines I like and don't like along with some fun wine facts, wine articles and ratings and wine maps. One day I may even offer wine merchandise here at WineGuys.info. I hope I can help you enjoy the art of wine as much as I do.

But please remember to drink responsibly...cause otherwise you'll find yourself with no wine!

Red Wine and Fish?

Posted on October 25, 2009 - Filed Under Petite Shiraz, Petite Sirah, Petite Verdot, Pinot Noir, Wine Articles | Leave a Comment

This is a great article for those of us who don’t like white wine….but love fish. I’ve struggled with experimentation of red wine and fish for years and now have some basic expectations. What I’ve found is the is that dryier lighter red wines, like pinot noir’s and petite syrahs(blends) are best for my tastes, however, I came across this great article on wineloverspage.com on scientists research about this blend of red wine and fish to help out others looking for similar guidance.

2005 / Michael David
where: Jacks Steak House
comments: This was a blend of petite sirah and a petite verdot and was very smooth and was pretty light considering. I had this with a nice Kansas City Steak and this wine had a very nice fruity finish.

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
where: in-between home
comments: Approx. $15.99, It was a gift. Very hearty, meaty with full overtones. Definitely taste the barrel, and some really plume and smoke after tones. I’d love it with a stone pizza…but no deal this time around. Enjoy a thick wine from Wetzel Family Estate.
