Korbin Kameron Estate Red Blends
Imagine having enjoyed ten wines from Korbin Kameron and knowing that there are still four more bottles to try while I was at The Fine Wine Source in Livonia, Michigan. Well, we already had discovered that Mitchell and Jenny Ming … Continue reading
New Year’s Eve 2020
Somehow, I can’t see this new decade surpassing “The Roaring Twenties” of the last century. New Year’s Eve is one of those holidays that my Bride prefers to have at the house. I mean periodically I think of how nice … Continue reading

Les Vignobles Foncalieu

A Merlot and a Cab
There is just always something fun about tasting wines and I have two more to discuss from the last time that I was at the Fine Wine Source in Livonia, Michigan. A good wine shop is just like finding a … Continue reading
Arrow & Branch Cabernets
