I spent much of the weekend entering my wines into cellartracker. Though it is rather time consuming process, I had come to the conclusion that I need to do something to track my wines. In the process of getting organized, I realized I had more Muscadet than I had thought. I decided to do something [...]

It’s still early February, but I am confident that my resolution to drink more Muscadet was one of my best New Year’s resolutions to date — and also one of the easiest to fulfill. As I wrote in a previous post, no survey of Muscadet would be complete without experiencing the wines from Domaine de [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I made a few wine resolutions for 2010. One of them was to drink more Muscadet. Muscadet has always been the perfect pairing with oysters, so I usually will order it in a restaurant since I don’t shuck many oysters at home. However, Muscadet is not only for [...]

One of my white wine resolutions for 2010 was to drink more Muscadet in 2010. I have always been a fan, but for some reason I tend to only drink it with a select number of foods — so I usually have it when I go out to eat. But the problem with Muscadet is [...]
