b2 Pinot Gris 2006
I had just finished a 30-minute workout on the pole I setup in my living room. Male pole dancing is probably one of the best workouts a man can do. Spinning around. Pulling yourself up. Builds on the upper arms big time. Male pole dancing helps rejuvenate the inner ear so [...]

Sebeka Shiraz Pinotage “Cape Blend” 2007
I’ve been sitting on this wine for a while but not sure why. Vineyard Wine Market had their Summer Sale on Saturday so I restocked and had to make room in our modest wine rack (only holds about 10 bottles). So tonight it was time to try it. With South [...]

Cono Sur Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Okay. I’m in a rut. This is actually the third time I have reviewed this wine and for some reason I keep coming back to it. This time I’m using the excuse that it’s for my weekly review of a Chilean wine as I set out to help save the Chilean [...]

Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Ever since I won the Xplorador Wine Harvest trip that had to be canceled because of the earthquake I’ve been thinking about those affected by it. Chile was much more prepared for an earthquake than Haiti and I guess that’s why they didn’t stay in the public eye for long. [...]

Blue Jean Red
I tried this one back in September at a tasting at the Vineyard but for the life of me couldn’t remember what it tasted like. I looked up my notes from that tasting and all it said was “after 7 months this wine is back.”
Being a blend from California that has no [...]

Key West Sunset Ale
This was a gift from Mrs Dan’s dad. He picked it up during travels across Florida. I’m always up to try something new especially if its paid for by someone else. I poured out my first one into a chilled pint glass. It was very good and malty and almost [...]

Beach Dogs Cabernet Sauvignon
I love Mrs. Dan. She’s a woman of my own heart. Well, she has my heart no matter what but this time through my wallet (read on). We decided to take a little weekend retreat to the lake. She decided it was okay to rough it and give Mr. Ben some [...]

Kalbarri Cabernet Sauvignon Bin Select 513 2006
Being a dad has its challenges. Like when your four-year-old tells you “Dad, I have to clean up your poop.”
This came from Mr. Ben sitting in his child seat as we cruised down Washington Road. It was like a scene in a movie when the person driving stares at [...]

Cycles Gladiator Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Okay, nothing new here. I’ve actually reviewed this wine before. But I decided to have a glass or two tonight in honor of the end of BRAG (Bike Ride Across Georgia). I heard it was hot as Hell the last few days and I think that even though the last day [...]
