2003 Bordeaux Sirius  The last of a series of articles on Bordeaux. I have done the vintages for 2005, 2004 and now 2003. Watch this page for a recap of all of the Bordeaux that I test tasted for my ranking of all three vintages. 2004 Bordeaux - St Emilion Grand Vin  This is one of a series of wine reviews on Bordeaux. The 2004 St Emilion Grand Vin was a wine that I can not recommend you buy. Maybe the next Bordeaux will be better. 2004 Bordeaux Chateau La Grange Clinet  I evaluated this 2004 Bordeaux at $3.00 less than the 2005 Chateaux La Rame to see what the difference was and to determine which one was better. 2005 - Bordeaux Grande Reserve de Beau-Rivage  Advice – Free, One bottle of wine + Shipping + Tax - $22.45, A GREAT recommendation from a reader – Priceless!!! Check out this wine review for a GREAT 2005 Bordeaux. 2005 Bordeaux - Chateaux La Rame  The 2005 Bordeaux for only $13.99. There are some costing less and some a lot more. 2005 Bordeaux Chateau La Pierre Levee'  Bottom line - I would buy this $15.99 bottle of Bordeaux again. Find it if you can. 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon - Columbia Crest  If there is one thing I have learned about wines, it is that you can’t tell a wine by its label. Some labels are written by marketing people, others by poets, some by wine makers and lastly the rest are not written by any one at all – they are blank and void of description. 2005 Sangiovese & Cabernet Sauvignon  This 2005 Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon from Montalcino Italy is affordable and is a great wine for prime rib, pot roast, pasta or fresh salmon. 2006 Bogle Petite Sirah Wine Review  I recommended this wine in my article that I recently wrote on My Summer Wine List - 10 under $10 each. On that list, in no particular order, this wine was #10 of the 10 of the wines I had in the article. 2006 Chardonnay – Bonterra Vineyards  This is a nice buttery Charonnay that is very smooth and has no after taste. The grapes are organically grown and come from California Certified Organic Farmers. 2006 Da Vinci Chianti  There was a review on the Bella Online Wine site of the Da Vinci Chianti 2003 a couple of years ago.
