Tenuta La Calcinaie San Gimignano Vernaccia 2015

October 29, 2017 by AJ Leave a Comment

We are going back to Italy for our next wine. I’m not a big white wine drinker.  I tend to prefer heavier, more robust red wines.  White wines are usually either too fruity or too sweet for my palate.  In addition, there are more health benefits in red wines, so I figure if I’m going […]

Baron De Ley Reserva

July 7, 2017 by AJ Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of the Baron de Ley Varietales Tempranillo (see here) , so I thought I would try it’s more mature brother, the Baron de Ley Reserva.   Most of the information here is found on their website, provided here for ease of information.
