Wine Video....That Is, Awesome Wine Video

-
We saw this on WineBusiness.com and had to share.  Brightlighter Productions is located in California but if you know of a winery that might need a promotional video with some humour included (which many do), please pass it along.  We love anything that keeps the wine industry light and fun.


Go and be Awesome......

Keep on tasting!

Wine Review - 2019 La Mascota Cabernet Sauvignon: Purple, Woody and Delicious

-

Full disclosure here, we absolutely love La Mascota Wines. They make one of our go-to wines in their Cabernet Franc and their Unanime Red is amazing but this Cabernet Sauvignon is also a standout. We particularly like red with both body and balance and this wine delivers that in spades. As it is an Argentinian wine from the Mendoza it has those notes of a good purple wine. Whether steak or tapas this wine will hold up to bold flavours. It looks like Malbec but definitely smells like Cab Sauv. Sticking your nose in the glass you are immediately hit with violets, toasted oak and blackberries. There is a boldness to the bouquet which doesn't overpower but is strong and consistent even after swirling the wine. The end of that is blueberry jam and leather.  The wine is dry but not overly so and the there is a tiny amount of residual sugar which allows for some roundness to the tannins which are firm. That's where the balance is really evident and it makes for a great tasting...

Wine Review - 2013 Mount Monster Cabernet Sauvignon: Tangy Red Wine That Sticks To The Tongue

This wine was on the roster for Mer et Soleil  at this year's Port of Wines Festival and we had a chance to try it both freshly opened and with a little time open.  Overall, it was a nice drinking wine but definitely develops more when the bottle is open for a while.  We would go as far to say it is better to decant this wine to open it up a bit. Bright crimson is the best was to categorize the look and colour of the wine.  There are slow legs in the glass on the swirl and it seems to stick to the sides as the wine comes down.  It has an oily look to it as well which make you feel like this will be a big wine. The nose hit us with cherry blossoms and violets as the dominant building blocks of the bouquet.  We also see light oak and vanilla notes underlying all of that.  It's a solid nose on this wine. The oily nature of the wine in the glass continues on the palate. It sticks to the tongue quite readily.  This com...

Wine Snobs: Adam Ruins Everything... But Not Wine....NEVER!

We have to admit to having missed this on CollegeHumor.com but it is a good one.  The gist is that wine experts are faking it and can't tell anything more about wine than anyone else.  For the most part we agree with that statement.  Wine is a highly complex and subjective thing and in no way do we consider ourselves experts in what's right for someone else.  Everyone likes what they like and Chris learned that lesson firsthand at a recent holiday party where he tried to "show" someone why a particular wine was lesser than others.  Boy, was that a bad idea and really stupid to boot.  Who the hell are we to tell anyone that something is not as good as something else? It is UNFUSSYwine.com after all, right?  Lesson firmly learned and wine snobbery has been banished from the kingdom yet again.  Regardless, a video is a good reminder to leave the superiority complex at the door and just enjoy the damn wine. Give it a watch, it is good humor. ...
