    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    The Bourbon summer season seems to get going in early May with the Kentucky Derby. So last night I opened a bottle of Knob Creek, which I hadn’t tasted for a while. And I found that Knob Creek has stayed true to its signature style with this Single Barrel Reserve.

    I have loved the region of Bordeaux ever since I first set foot in it. The enchanting châteaux and mythical grand houses rising from tailored landscapes, the beautifully cared-for vineyards on gently rolling hills interspersed with cobbled historic villages felt magical to me on my first hot, summer visit, and

    “Our Sicilian wines are ideal for people on diets, those who need minerals for sports practice, and for people with high blood pressure. You don’t even need to add salt to the water when you're cooking pasta, a good Inzolia wine is flavor enough, itself!” Giacomo Ansaldi, winemaker at Fazio

    Perhaps you saw the stories making the rounds of social media lately claiming that a glass of red wine was equal to an hour working out at the gym. Perhaps you thought, “Hallelujah!” It pains me to be the one to have to break this to you, but don’t toss

    1 min read
    If a Bonny Doon label says, "A Proper Claret," one thing you can be sure of is that it is not quite proper after all. Tannat and Syrah join traditional Bordeaux grapes here, and it works. Cabernet offers up classic cassis, softened by Merlot and leaned out by Tannat. Petit Verdot accounts
