    White Rioja: It's Not What You Think

    I taste Muga Rioja Blanco 2019 which is a beautiful wine but has nothing to do with the white Riojas of yesteryear.  Old school white Rioja used to be oaked within an inch of its life.  Now producers are cutting back on the use of oak and releasing beautifully structured and balanced wines that have outstanding versatility at the table.

    Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon: Let the Fruit Bombs Rain Down

    I taste two cabernet sauvignons, True Myth and Paso Dragon (a Trader Joe's exclusive) both from Paso Robles and compare and contrast them.  Both excellent values but both having a fruit forward style that may not be for everyone.  Paso Robles is known for a lot of things but restraint is not one of them when it comes to its red wines.
