This month's #Winophiles is about wines from Cahors. When I saw that Nicole from Somm's Table was hosting this month about this topic, I was very excited.

As the East Coast ambassador for Lugana, I was thrilled to be able to share my love of this region with members of the WSG. The webinar was recorded so if you are a member but couldn't participate...

Today's post for Wine Wednesday is all about the Stoller Family Estate Vineyards.

Sometimes you try a wine that you know you will never forget, this was one of those wines. It had everything - balance, harmony, great tertiary aromas and flavors, length, persistence, acidity, sapidity. You name it, it had it. It was amazing and I couldn't believe the price for a wine that is 50 years... Continue Reading →
As usual I was overly ambitious about what I can accomplish in a short amount of time. I have not been blogging everyday but I am thinking about it every day at least. I often need to think and plan my way into things. Like most busy and ambitious people, I've got lots of projects... Continue Reading →
