Recap: Pend d’Oreille Wood River Vineyard Malbec
I’ve been fortunate to have enjoyed several great wines over the past month from wineries previously featured on TheOther46.com. From hearty reds to crisp whites, I’ve quickly filled my cork bag to the brim. So what better of a time to spend a little wine time this week providing a quick recap.

Better Late Than Never
2. March 2010
Unfortunately, I missed highlighting Dithyramb Winery during my first Colorado wine showcase late last year (see Caution, High Altitude Ahead). Better late than never, tonight’s post introduces and welcomes Colorado’s newest winery on the block, Dithyramb Winery. Located in Centennial, Colorado, owners and winemakers Sean and Candice Bundy opened their home-based, boutique winery in 2008. [...]

I had the opportunity to meet Rob Beecham, COO of Beecham Builders, and also part of the leadership team at Montaluce Winery and Estates late last year in Orlando. Down visiting Disney World, I welcomed the chance to meet up and discuss Montaluce and their first vintage. Montaluce is the first of its kind in [...]

How many wines can lay claim to having their own website? One in particular, Ballet of Angels, arrived at my house last month from Sharpe Hill Vineyards. Located in Pomfret, Connecticut, Sharpe Hill Vineyards has put Connecticut on the wine map with their award-winning Ballet of Angels. The wine has taken home more than 80 [...]

I’ll be honest, other than at a restaurant or paired alongside the casual fruit and cheese platter, I was never a food and wine kind of guy. That’s all changed in 2010. More and more, I’m finding myself pouring through the pages of Food & Wine or Wine Spectator hoping to find the perfect pairing. [...]

Okay, so maybe my worst title ever, but with the temps hovering around freezing lately, the brain is a bit rusty. That said, tonight’s wine hails from Ste. Chapelle Winery in Caldwell, Idaho. Located in one of America’s newest AVA’s, the Snake River Valley Wine Region is home to more than a dozen wineries. Founded [...]

Every now and then I sample a wine that brings a smile to my face. The 2007 Bistro Rouge from Pend d’Oreille Winery is one such wine. Located in Sandpoint, Idaho, Pend d’Oreille’s vin de pays is produced from Washington grapes. A blend of 36% Merlot, 28% Syrah, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, and 3% [...]

Feeling festive and ready for my trip up north, I decided to pull the cork on a dessert wine received from Chaddsford Winery. I’ve raved about the winery and owner/winemaker Eric Miller in earlier posts (see here and here). Tonight’s pour, a late harvest style Riesling produced from Lake Erie region grapes, was no different.

Two Reds
19. December 2009
While my friends and family are digging their way out of 2 feet of snow up north, I’m down in sunny Orlando decorating my Christmas tree, listening to Pandora, and drinking red wine. Life is good.
Tonight’s pour is the ‘05 Due Rossi received from Chaddsford Winery. Due Rossi means “two reds”, and is a blend [...]
