DWR-03 – Filus Classic Malbec 2016 Wine Tasting and Review

June 10, 2019 by Rick

In this third live winestream, I open, taste and review a Filus Classic Malbec 2016 purchased from Winestore in the Blakeney area of Charlotte, NC. This is a red blend with Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. I also talk about pits in the bottoms of wine bottles, why I do not want anyone to Drink With Rick and drive, why I recommend Selling Sarasota podcast, and why I trust product endorsements from some podcasters and not others.

This podcast is the audio version of the video winestream, edited with consideration for the listener. Did I enjoy the wine? Do I recommend it to others? Listen to find out. Due to serious technical difficulties with the original livestream, I suggest you avoid watching the video this time and listen to this audio version instead.

DWR-01 – The Collection 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting and Review

June 12, 2022May 27, 2019 by Rick

I open, taste and review a new wine from Target called The Collection 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. Just for fun, I did it on a Facebook live stream on a Saturday night for family and friends. It was a lively event, and a lot of fun. So much fun, it fact, that I was encouraged to make it a regular thing. So I did. And so begins the Saturday Night Winestream™. This podcast is the audio version of that first live stream. As it was a visual presentation, it was edited for the consideration for the listener. Did I enjoy the wine? Did I drink the whole bottle? Listen to find out. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as I did recording it.
