No more drama... let's review Mary J. Blige's "Sun Goddess" wine. 🎶 This isn't your typical white wine; it's an orange wine called a Ramato. That means it's a Pinot Grigio made in the red wine style, giving it a beautiful color and a more complex profile. On the nose, it's got

Is Cameron Diaz's Avaline wine worth the $15.99 price tag? I put it to the test. My skepticism started when I saw it was bottled in California using grapes from France. High-quality winemaking usually happens in one place. The sniff test revealed... not much. It's a "nothing

Is Martha Stewart's wine a "good thing"? Let's get to boozin' and find out. 🥂 Celebrity wines are everywhere, but are they worth the money? Kicking off my review of 12 different celebrity wines with Martha Stewart's 19 Crimes Chardonnay. The name "Martha's Chard" is funny, but

I tried the Snoop Dogg 19 Crimes wine... and I have some thoughts. It's one of the most popular celebrity wines out there, but is it actually good? I'm kicking off my 12-bottle celebrity wine tasting with the one and only Snoop Dogg Cali Red. The verdict? It smells like "sweet

Wondering what wine to bring for Thanksgiving? 🦃 We looked at the science, and the optimal choice needs to check a crazy list of boxes: Low/Zero Tannin (for the turkey breast) Super High Acid (for gravy & cranberry sauce) Glutamate (to unlock umami synergy!) Maillard Molecules

Is Jon Bon Jovi's $18 Hampton Water rosé worth the price? I love Bon Jovi's music, but I love a good value wine even more. I'm tasting this super popular celebrity rosé to see if it lives up to the hype and the price tag. It smells great and has all the classic character of a

Calling all Dave Matthews Band fans! Is his wine actually any good? I'm on a mission to taste 12 different celebrity wines, and up next is The Dreaming Tree "Crush" red blend from Dave Matthews. My producer is a huge fan, so the pressure was on for this one! The verdict? "Oh

Are celebrity wines any good? I'm starting my investigation with the originator himself. Before Snoop Dogg or Martha Stewart, there was Francis Ford Coppola. I decided to review his famous Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon to see if the legend holds up. The verdict? It's

It's a Costco wine battle: Cabernet Sauvignon vs. its parent grape, Cabernet Franc! I'm putting a brand new $7 Kirkland Signature Cab from Sonoma County up against an $9 Cabernet Franc with a cool octopus label. Which Cab reigns supreme? The Kirkland Cab was surprisingly good for

It's a Costco wine showdown: Old World France vs. New World Argentina! I'm putting a "supple, reserved" $11 Kirkland Signature Rhône blend up against a "loud, brash" $13 Argentinian Malbec. This is a classic battle of wine styles at an amazing price point. This was a VERY close

Does packaging really matter for cheap wine? I put it to the test. I compared Woodbridge Chardonnay from a bottle and a box to see if there's any real difference in taste. If it's the same wine, it should taste the same, right? Wrong. They tasted similar, but one was much more

This is the same exact wine. So why does one look like that?! I put boxed wine to the ultimate test against its bottled version, using the classic Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc. I expected a slight difference, but what I found was truly shocking. The boxed wine had completely oxidized

It’s the ultimate wine showdown: a popular national brand vs. the mighty Costco store brand! I put the mega-popular Ménage à Trois Red Blend up against the Kirkland Signature Cabernet Sauvignon. They're both around $7, but are they both good? Spoiler: it wasn't even a contest.

It's a Costco wine showdown: Light & elegant France vs. big & bold Washington State! I put two classic sub-$10 reds head-to-head: a Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages (Gamay grape) and a Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon. Both are incredible values, but they could not be more

I found a shockingly good $7 Malbec at Costco... but is it the BEST Kirkland red? In my quest to find the top red wine under $15 at Costco, I had to compare two Kirkland Signature titans. The $7 Malbec from Argentina is a fan favorite, but how does it stack up against the more

It’s the Costco Showdown: The internet’s favorite wine vs. a hidden gem! I put the mega-popular Josh Cellars Cabernet up against a Columbia Winery Merlot from Washington. Both are about the same price, but are they the same quality? I'll be honest, I went in with a bias, but I

It's a Costco wine showdown: Old World Spain vs. New World California! I put a traditional, $11 Spanish Rioja (aged for 3 years!) up against a modern, $9 California Red Blend. These two wines have completely different styles but are both amazing values. The winner was a total

I tasted every Sauvignon Blanc under $5 from the grocery store, and there was one clear winner. I put cheap white wines from Trader Joe's, Target, Aldi, Walmart, and H-E-B to the ultimate blind taste test to find one that's actually worth your money. Some were insanely sour, one
