Cork Poppers

Our Cork Poppers gatherings combine food and wine. We taste, we savor! There is no way any one of us would call ourselves experts! But we've learned a little bit about the mechanics and a LOT about what we like or don't -- and really, that's what it's all about. Doesn't matter if it is pricey or not, if you don't like it -- it's not the right thing!

Below you will find links to the various wine-related posts on The Marmelade Gypsy, listed by category.



In the Cork Poppers links below you will learn about the wines we tasted and our not-so-scientific or stuffy comments about each and the prices paid. Bear in mind that some of the posts go back a number of years and the prices most certainly will have changed.


Also remember that different vintages (say, a 2010 Bordeaux) might be more (or less) expensive than the same Bordeaux from the same vintner in a different year. So these are just approximations.


Wine posts are listed by category when possible. Some Cork Popper gatherings had a "mixed bag," that is, wines from various countries or for various occasions. Some of these are our personal favorites and those posts are worth a look.


Cheers!
