Great article: Wine vs. Beer

WineGuy — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:49:28 +0000

I saw this great article on the breakdown of wine versus beer from a health perspective and thought it could benefit a few people during idle conversation instead of getting in to a conversation about Politics, Religion or maybe those awkward job interviews!

You can read the full article here

But the essence of the article helps breakdown and compare the ingredients, the process, and the health benefits – which to me is funny, because in general who is drinking wine or beer to be healthy???

I liked the article, it’s a decent resource for those looking for a quick read for the sole purpose of having another interesting blurb to talk about.

~ Enjoy

2006 Monsanto Chianti

A hint of wood, maybe some plum is what you will barely smell when opening this bottle. Very smooth, and not too dry this chianti is delightful to the mouth. It’s a hearty drink with Pasta and meatballs. A heavy pasta and sauce had me wanting to drink more of this to keep everything moving!

Wish my Chianti tasted this good!

Very smooth, blueberry, currents and plums. This is a great wine. I’m looking at this as a new favorite! Go get some! Should be around $20-25, I got it as a gift! Thanks Sis!

Delicious! A great solid wine. Not too fruity, drinks smooth with a medium finish. Plums and cherry I think, but a nice wine.

Molly Dooker – 2010

Molly Dooker, 2010, Two Feet Left was a nice fruity red with some heaviness to it. Ended up having some Christmas leftovers and some fish and it tasted great. Lots of plum, cherry and grape jelly tones.

Very good! Had it with Braised Short Ribs and my glass never stayed fill long enough! Smooth, and not too heavy with many fruit tones for the finish.

comments: A great Old Vine Zin….I tend to like lighter wines, but this wine was still very tastey, a great find. I also think the bottle was nice…it’s painted on, so I won’t be bottling my wines with this bottle.

But in general this was smooth had a great taste and seemed to be very balanced, a trait of the Old Vine Zinfandel – they also tend to be a bit to rich for me, but this was not too bad. Like I said it was very balanced. I would highly recommend it.

To say I was disappointed is an understatement. This wine is not a cheap everyday wine in my household, it’s about $20.00 and I expect memorable taste for that price. It’s not that the flavor is bad, but it is definitely not a Zin flavor. It’s not lush or even spicey but rather like a mediocre Merlot. Save your money and pick up any of Paul Sobon’s Zins, Martin Family Dry Creek Zin, or Machhia Mischievious. Then you’ll know how truly great Zin can be.

Wow- for a wine priced under 10 dollars this blew me away. It was lush, medium- to full-bodied and full of flavor. It’s a blend of 5 grapes (hence, the name): Merlot, Barbera, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The flavors include bright cherry and raspberry fruit with mint highlights, and deeper plum low notes. You would think this was a Zin blend when you taste it. Dare I say a baby Prisoner????
