Last year I was fortunate to taste Villa Maria Estate‘s 2011 Sauvignon Blanc with thirstygirl®. This year I was invited to taste the 2012 Villa Maria Estate Reserve Bin Sauvignon Blanc and the 2011 Villa Maria Estate Reserve Bin Pinot Noir and asked a friend to join me. The 2012 vintage of wines marked Villa Maria Estate’s 50th anniversary […]

#WIYG: The December 2012 #TGTaste Edition
In a forthcoming, end-of-the-year post, I will be detailing some of what has happened to me in 2012, which has caused me to be somewhat remiss in my reviews. For now, here are some of the wines I’ve tasted in the last two ThirstyGirl #TGTaste events, one in partnership with Whole Foods, and the other […]
Getting the skinny on Skinny Vine
I have to admit, I am probably not the target market for Skinny Vine, although it might not be a bad idea to indulge in these wines occasionally to save some calories for more food. However, I am always open to explore new ideas in wine, so I said yes to #TGTaste with Skinny Vine. […]
#TGTaste with Bonterra Organic Vineyards
Tonight I am trying something new, blogging immediately after ThirstyGirl #TGTaste with Bonterra Organic Vineyards, while the aromas and flavors are immediate to my memory. 2011 Bonterra Chardonnay I tasted this wine stone cold out of my refrigerator. Very cold, this wine smelled and tasted like lots of citrus. This wine is 70% malolactic fermentation, […]

#TGTaste with HandCraft Wines and Vintner Cheryl Indelicato
ThirstyGirl #TGTaste events are usually monthly and just keep getting better. This event on September 19 with HandCraft Artisan Collection Wines and Vintner Cheryl Indelicato was no exception. The last two events have been so popular that the hashtag #TGTaste trended as a hot topic on Twitter. I think this is a testament to ThirstyGirl’s great […]
#TGTaste with thirstygirl® and Villa Maria Estate
If you’ve read my past #TGTaste posts, you’ll often find that I was a bit nervous stepping out of my tasting “comfort zone,” but always found myself pleasantly surprised. With regard to this #TGTaste on May 16, this was not the case at all. I love Sauvignon Blanc, so I was very excited to participate. […]
Croft Pink Port: Hey, I found a port I like!
I confess, I was both thrilled and nervous about my first Thirsty Girl #TGTaste online tasting event. I was excited to be invited to participate, but I was also hesitant, as I’ve never been a fan of port. But as it turned out, Croft Pink port is very different and versatile. According to their website and […]
