A Wine Tasting Tour of the Alexander Valley in Sonoma County

Thumbs Up Wine Review: The 2013 vintage of Rodney Strong’s Charlotte’s Home Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful wine. Its delicious, high quality flavors are the reason that we gave this $13 bottle a $25 valuation. This is a really special wine that you can find all across the country. You really can’t go wrong here.

2013 Rodney Strong Charlotte's Home Sauvignon Blanc

Thumbs Up Wine Review: This ForestVille 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is the highest rated $5 or less wine that we have ever had. What can you say? It’s a $5 wine that drinks like it cost $20. Four times the retail price? Yes! It’s crazy, I know. But try it for yourself and you’ll agree.

2012 ForestVille Cabernet Sauvignon

It's happened to all of us, right? You grab something expensive that looks really sexy, but then the burning sensation tells you that you've made a horrible mistake. When it comes to wine bottles (much like people), it's what's on the inside that counts. You can't drink a fancy label. This French sparkler was more Pepe Le Pew than Oh la la.

Citroens and Cigarettes and Sparkling Wine, Oh My!

Wine Reviews by Thumbs Up Wine Review: Most of the time, blending a wine gives the winemaker the ability to highlight the good and hid the bad. Unfortunately in this case it was the other way around. If you buy this California White Blend you'd be flushing $20 down the toilet -- on in this case, the urinal.

What Wine Pairs With Urinal Biscuits?

Occasionally it happens -- we have a disagreement. One thinks this 2009 Chateau Haura Graves Bordeax Blend is a great value. The other, not so much. To find out if you're "Team T-shirt" or "Team Button-down" you'll have to grab a bottle and try.
