@TheWineWhore What kind of Malbec did you have? Argentinian, French, other? Did you like it enough to make it your new favorite grape? in reply to TheWineWhore #
Last night: tasted STRONGLY like tobacco & chocolate w/ no finish. Tonight: tastes like a chocolatey Cab w/ nice finish. Guess the grape! #
@ravenpearlink @palatematch @spartacuswines @n_khanna — It was a Malbec! Great call @ravenpearlink ! More about Malbecs coming soon #

@AriannaLA, hubbie, and I are off to BevMo!'s 100th store opening Mega Tasting in Rolling Hills Estates! Curious about the goodie bag #
Very drunk after Bevmo tasting, er drunkfest. -Interested in Bordeaux now. Eek! #
Lalande was out of this world yum! Altocedro was gr8, 2! RT Pouring Altocedro and tasting french beauties: …Lalande Grand Cru Classé. #
@spargo Since I live in West LA where there isn't a BevMo! for many miles, I rarely go. Today we did minor damage as I was already there #
Finishing up a FANTASTIC 2005 Opolo Vineyards "Fusion" – 49% Syrah, 49% Cab Sauv, 2% Petite Verdot from #PasoRobles. Love those #Rhone s! #

Fiddlehead Lollapalooza is still a tasty treat. Even if it's overpriced. Can't wait to enjoy it more during dinner tonight… #
A quick varietal-to-region matching quiz… @WilfredWong got 100% and @grapesmart got 75%… what will you get? http://bit.ly/22d0k8 #
Drinking 2009 La Finca Malbec from Trader Joe's for $3.99. Was very skeptical–Chocolate nose, slightly acidic, low alcohol… kinda nice. #
@HappyWineGuy Depends on your friends. It's acceptable for friends after the first bottle is gone. I have friends I could serve it to #
@HappyWineGuy That is, if you're not embarrassed to serve a 2009 IN 2009 #
@HappyWineGuy Thanks for teaching me something new about vintages! I had never thought about Southern Hemisphere being 6-months ahead! #

@pgcat Depends on how you define "good." Wine is personal. They run Zagat & WSJ wine clubs. WineClubReviews thinks they offer good value. in reply to pgcat #

Arianna and I cracked the Cameron Hughes Lot 101 Chardonnay… and drank the whole bottle. It's good. Esp for the $$. Review to come on blog #
RT @WineExpo: Just in: Off Dry SPARKLING Torrontes (way under $20)… That sparkler is calling my name! See ya soon, R! #
@DailyWine My last red sparkler was Lambrusco and it was too sweet for me. Off-dry might be awe-some @WineExpo has a few to choose from! in reply to DailyWine #
@WineExpo sold me Off Dry SPARKLING Torrontes… Unusual! A tad sweet, but lots of green fruit. As promised, salty snacks enhanced the wine. #
Be sure to read the bit about the Riedel 'Vivant' Bordeaux glasses. WSJ.com – Glasses, the Background Music of Wine http://bit.ly/mmzV3 #
Halloween is around the corner so we're reposting this: Great Wines for Halloween – Not So Scary! http://bit.ly/10szTr #

My dirty little secret: at almost every restaurant I ask for a taste of a wine before I order a whole glass (or bottle if it's an option)! #
@johnashotonedgar What's WBG? @semayer EXACTLY like BR @DailyWine @artbauhaus @bryanchaney Good for you! Some are too embarrassed to do it. #
@wine4ever – No, but they once brought my tastings in little plastic cups (like the ones used for salsa) and it wasn't exactly appetizing. #
RT @thewinediary: Would You Like Wine in Your Doggy-Bag? http://bit.ly/2aNS84 I would! For ALL of the reasons in the article! #
@pinotblogger I wonder if the scientific rigidity of this proposed system accounts for the more sensual part of the wine-drinking experience in reply to pinotblogger #
@pinotblogger Dbl-blind, lab reports & specificity of x/100 score. Will 90 be perceptibly better than 89? How do you acct for "jammy?" #
@pinotblogger Totally. I like scores, too. I just find them unreliable b/c humans aren't computers Best of luck with your rating system! in reply to pinotblogger #
Off to my one of my favorites (Bar Chloe in Santa Monica http://bit.ly/6Rfii) to sip Villa Mt Eden Cabernet with one of my favorite people! #
Change of plans! Trying the Cycles Gladiator instead… Poor Georgians don't know what they're missin' #
Good news for those who seek quality wines under $20! RT @WineSpiritDaily Pricing Will Likely Remain Flat, says Nielsen http://bit.ly/MK0g1 #

Tried the 2007 Krug Sauvignon Blanc tonight… delicious, well-balanced, perfect acidity, lovely fruitiness… nice wine! #
Something new-to me & its age-2nite. 2008 Cortijo III from Rioja. 80% Tempranillo 20% Garnacha. Pretty good for $7.99 http://bit.ly/PzrEd #

@jockeyhollow Both! Steel first, then oak. @wawineisfine good for you… they must have decided to widen distribution! http://bit.ly/F60Gj #
Was disappointed by the Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Pinot Noir… oh well, there are more bottles just begging to be drunk #
Great post about wine headaches on FB. This guy thinks it's about the quality of the wine, not tannins or sulfites. http://bit.ly/1b3HIH #
@johnashtonedgar I HAVE had Newman's Own Cab & recall liking it. Was a couple of years ago though. Bought it at Cost Plus World Market. in reply to johnashtonedgar #

@Sunflowerdagger What do you mean is Merlot good for you? As opposed to other grapes? As opposed to water? Do you have liver problems? #
@spartacuswines We haven't really had any good wine stories to share recently. We try to keep it all about the wine in our tweets. #
@Grapedancer I bet Sauvignon Blanc would make a great sorbet! RT why don't we invent wine gelato? example cabernet sauvignon gelato… in reply to Grapedancer #
@DailyWine @CtlCstUncorked Ever been to/tasted Rideau Vineyard? I saw a rare 5/5 from @wineass on the Chateau Duplantier & now I'm intrigued #
@DailyWine @CtlCstUncorked @vintwined Thanks for the feedback… (wo)man-on-the-street consensus is valuable to me. #
@WineEnthusiast Don't forget the Halloween wines! http://bit.ly/10szTr #

RT @UrWineGuy: At Cakebread Cellars -> Jealous. Have fun! #
I'm not in the market for this right now, but beautifully #engraved wine bottles are pretty damn cool. http://bit.ly/rXmN9 #
Bummer! RT @UrWineGuy: A little disappointing/underwhelming-Cakebread; gr8 experiences @ Etude, Michel-Schlumberger, Larkmead, Ceja & Caymus #
Tragedy! I broke an unopened gift bottle of wine, in front of the giver and the rest of my class. #
Both adventures cause your brain to rot. Wine's more fun! RT @DailyWine: Off to the mall. Would rather be going to a wine shop. #
