A wine blog by Susannah Gold
I tasted my first wine from the state of Michigan this week from Neu Cellars. It's a lovely Riesling from 2019 called Splash. I knew nothing about the winery when I ordered it as part of wine club I recently joined. The club is the brainchild of Lenn Thompson. Oddly enough, it's distributed in NYC... Continue Reading →
A new column on this blog will be about wines from the 50 states of the USA. I've decided to focus on at least two states a month.

When I get to the house I rent on Cape Cod every year, I immediately look in the fridge to see what the owner of the house has left for her guests. She always leaves a 1.5 liter of wine which is incredibly nice and I always find it interesting what she picks, it's usually... Continue Reading →
After the horrific events of this weekend, I am thinking about Virginia and how often I have enjoyed being there. When I was a girl, my parents took me to Jefferson's home and to UVA. I remember how impressed I was with the campus and how much I wanted to seem like a college student... Continue Reading →
This week's variety is another Malvasia. It is called Malvasia Bianca di Candia. It's grows primarily in Lazio but also in Emilia Romagna, Le Marche, Umbria, Tuscany and Liguria.
