Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co. Screw up!

My favorite wine, Drops of Jupiter, a red blend has been reformulated! Having drunk hundreds of bottles of this wine over a number of years, I can tell you that the new formulation SUCKS!

RIP

Onward through the fog!

Martin House Brewing-Ft. Worth, TX-King of the Sours!

Following on the heels of Blackbird Imperial Blackberry Sour at 9.2% ABV a magnificent sour, they are following up with two barrel aged Imperial Raspberry Sours, one white wine barrel aged and the other, red wine barrel aged named Tantalus-10% ABV!

I just sampled both of these today at On Rotation and they are both excellent! Hail to the King of  the Sours!

DoorDash Sucks!

My advice is to avoid DoorDash at all costs! They are a terrible company that has NO concept of customer service!

Costco Wines (Kirkland brand)

My latest wine favorite is from Costco-Kirkland (house brand) Sonoma County Old Vines Zinfandel 2016 for $10 (light purple foil top). This is an EXCELLENT wine! I had a Kirkland Old Vines Zinfandel a year or two ago that was not good! This is more like my first experience with their Zin which was also excellent,

If you don't know, Costco is the largest retailer of wines in the world and has their own brand, Kirkland. Their Kirkalnd Prosecco is the best I've had at $7. Makes a great Mimosa (I had it with fresh squeezed blood orange juice from Whole Foods recently) incredible!

Lake Street Dive on fire!

World Market's New Wine Pricing

Much to my dismay, I left World Market on Oak Lawn Ave. in Dallas, TX empty handed due to the RIDICULOUS new pricing for their wines. I had purchased one of my favorite wines, Drops of Jupiter, one week ago at the store on Greenville Ave for $8.88, on sale. Today ALL of the wines prices had been raised with the regular AND sales price for Drops of Jupiter being $11.99. If you buy 4 bottles, it is $10.99; a case $7.99.

Mind you, I have been buying this wine regularly for over three years at World Market NEVER paying more than $9.99. As I mentioned, I checked five other wines that I buy occasionally were also priced higher. When I spoke to the manager, he said I was not the first one to complain about the prices. He gave me a mail in feedback to the CEO which is going in the mail today.

As for me, I will never shop for wine at World Market again unless the prices change, and since that's the primary thing I buy there, it means I'm not going back.
