Wine Appraiser

Tonight, Dennis and Denise get marooned on the island of New Zealand where Sauvignon Blanc is number one. We wade through information about Sauvignon Blanc, before casting off on a blind wine tasting journey. Join the pair as they taste a 2023 Kirkland Ti Point Sauvignon Blanc; a 2018 Craggy Range Te Muna; and a 2022 Justin from the Central Coast of California. Three very different wines. Dovee loves one!

In this episode of the Wine Appraiser Podcaster, Dennis and Denise blindly taste, learn about, and rate three affordable Cabernet Sauvignon wines. This could be the best wine to pair with a juicy steak. Tonight we taste a 2019 Santa Ema from the Maipo Valley, Chile. We next taste a 2015 Farnito from Tuscany, Italy. Our final wine was a 2018 Clay Shannon from Lake County, California. We had one clear winner in this episode, and one is a good buy for the price.

Nothing pairs any better with summer than a light and refreshing rose’. In this episode of the Wine Appraiser Podcast, Dennis and Denise blind taste three affordable rose’ wines. Tonight we taste a 2023 Carayon La Rose from the Languedoc in the South of France; 2023 Malene by Chamisole Vineyards; and a 2022 Whispering Angle from Cotes de Provence. One of these wines we will buy again.

In this inaugural episode of the Wine Appraisal Podcast, Dennis the Wine Appraiser, discusses the reason behind the show. He talks of his passion to share affordable wine finds with listeners, and describes how he and his wife and wine-tasting partner Denise will blind taste and score three affordable wines each week.
