It's snow day has been a long one in many ways but a special one as well. To celebrate this wine Wednesday I am drinking Malibran Credamora Col Fondo 2015. A beautiful Prosecco made with the glera grape of course. It's delicious with yeasty, toasty aromas, nice small and fast bubbles. It is very dry... Continue Reading →
Today's Wine Wednesday is dedicated to this modern version of Retsina wine from Markou Vineyards in Attica, Greece. I tried this wine yesterday at Vinexpo in New York. It's made with 100% Savatiano grapes. I loved the citrus, salty, mineral and herbaceous notes I found in the wine. Juniper and rosemary were in evidence and... Continue Reading →

It's immensely affordable and tasty as well. The alcohol is 13.5% and it pairs well with basically any dish from mushrooms to... Continue Reading →

I rarely drink South African wine, not because of any preconceived ideas just they rarely are on my radar, except... Continue Reading →

I have some pictures of Sonoma but I felt like posting this one of the Golden Gate as a well-known wine writer, Alder, is in town today. I'm going to go see him speak about his new book so this is a short post. I'm tasting my way through wines that were sent to me... Continue Reading →
Canicatti speaks of Sicily and a hot arid climate. It also brings one to think of the Valle dei Templi. It would not necessarily be the first place where I would think a quality wine would come from. I would be wrong however as two wines that I tasted during Italian wine week showed me.... Continue Reading →
