Wow.
I really wasn’t in the mood to blog tonight, but when I opened and tasted the 2007 Dry Creek Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay I just had to sit down and pound out a few paragraphs!
I must admit that I’m a RRV chardonnay honk, as I much prefer the characteristics that come out of this AVA’s best vineyards over her [...]
While working on his M.A. in psychology, Eddie Osterland became fascinated with the world of wine. So much so that he altered career paths and became the United States very first Master Sommelier.

Ok, so I know this doesn’t have much of anything to do with wine, but I’m committed to putting on more things than simply wine geek stuff here at The Cork Head.
The General took my breath away with his viral sensation “Pants on the Ground” and I felt it only appropriate to place his video [...]
So what if it only has one winery and has only bee designated as an AVA since 2002?
