Marshal. As good as this was it still seemed to be holding something back. Will be following your advice and saving the rest for their 10 year birthdays. Best, Bryan...

April 26th is the big day. Mom opens her gifts and we all enjoy a day together. Happy Birthday - Mom! Also, Happy Anniversary to Elaine and Carlos.

We all had a great deal of fun. The "Wine Estate' is so far from Florida that our visits are not as often as we would like. Again, Happy 82nd Birthday, Mom and Happy 22nd Anniversary to Elaine and Carlos!

Happy birthday, Bryon! Thank you for letting me plan road trips around wine tasting, for accompanying me to one wine shop after another, for having dinner ready for me when I get home from a tasting group, for waiting patiently while I take pictures of the meal and make notes before actually eating.  And for many, many qualities that are not wine related. Cheers, BK! Tags: birthdays , wine...

We’ve all done it. Held on to bottles too long, waiting for the right time to drink, and then sadly found they’d passed their prime…. That’s why Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher started Open That Bottle Night: to give you a reason to open a special bottle. Thereby, instead of letting birthdays and anniversaries...

Birthdays for me are a bit arbitrary. One year I feel younger, the next older. No matter the date, tomorrow means I’m one day older than I was the day before, another notch on the bedpost. So I wonder why wine geeks get so wound up about birth... More info at www.catavino.net...

More wines to celebrate special birthdays. This wine started a little closed but opened with a soft berry nose. On the palate the flavours were cherry based with a sweet camphor like oak that was spiced up by a hint of cinnamon. It had no drying out and was well liked by all present. I have had a few 2000 Burgundies lately and a few looked like they were drying out, this was smooth and long...

I don't know very much about wine. My dad and husband are both home brewers but make country wines, so they can't answer my question. I have 2 kids, born in 2004 and 2007. I want to buy each of them a bottle of wine from the year of their birth to be opened on/around their 21st birthdays... What kind of wine/port will last that long? Is it possible to find a wine that will keep for under...

David and Victoria Beckham are notoriously generous with each other on their birthdays, splashing out on jewels, watches, cars and lavish vacations. Now The Sun reports that David Beckham bought Victoria her own winery in Napa and the pair will be making their own wine. Last month, the paparazzi spotted the pair along with celebrity pals, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Seal, Heidi Klum, Kate...

Birthdays are never complete without birthday cake and birthday cake is never quite the same without dessert wine. So to top off the end to perfect evening I opened this botrytis elixir this past weekend. Made from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, this sweet Bordeaux white wine has an alcohol content of 14%. TASTING NOTES: Liquid gold color with an intense petroleum nose. Flavors...
