    New Rare Wine from a Historic Grape: 2017 Cameron Hughes Muscat Canelli Lot 648

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Very dusty bottles, nearly hidden at the back of shelf in an old wine shop: this was my first encounter with Muscat Canellli, soon after I began visiting Napa and Sonoma to learn about wine. Because the labels and the bottles were unknown to me, I was intrigued. I bought

    “You do not notice changes in what is always before you.” - Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette I first reported on Burgundy’s Women and Wine organization in 2016 for Palate Press, and this year marks the twentieth anniversary of Femmes et vins de Bourgogne or FEVB. Back in 2000, Burgundy [Bourgogne in French]

    At the end of a hot summer day, you might be wandering along the riverside in the town of Cognac, France, waiting for a wonderful evening event to begin – maybe the jazz festival or the film noir festival. You’ll be handed your first Cognac Long Drink, to rehydrate: in

    Mezcal Convite Esencial Joven PDO — Far from Basic

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    While there are many agave spirit lovers whose hearts belong to tequila, I’m also part of the mezcal minority: the variegated flavors of well-made mezcals are winning me over. In case you haven’t noticed, during the past decade or so mezcal has been evolving from a liquor of harsh rusticity

    Red wine to chill: 2016 Les Cadrans de Lassègue Saint Emilion Crand Cru

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This is a red wine you can chill for a bit, to enjoy during the summer. Even though it's from the famed Bordeaux region, don't hesitate to put it in the fridge for a half-hour or so before drinking -- as if it just came out of a wine cellar.

    Lively Chilean Red Wine: 2017 Ventisquero Grey Glacier Single Block Carménère

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This wine is made with grapes grown in one particular block of the coastal vineyards of Chile’s Maipo Valley, and this winery tells us this vineyard is drip-irrigated from its own deep wells. The wine has fairly intense aromas which emphasize nice dark-red, even purple fruit. There are earthy, leather

    2018 Pam’s Unoaked Chardonnay

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    In this very moderately-price California chardonnay, a nice herby aroma is surprisingly followed by a feeling of sweetness on the front of the tongue, which dissipates into oaky peachiness in a medium body, with some butteriness. End-palate of apricot, minerality, some hints of chalk and lively acidity along with the

    Quintessential Sonoma Chardonnay: 2018 Jordan Russian River Valley Chardonnay

    How often do you open a wine and get just what you’re hoping for? For me, this was one of those times when I got what I had hoped for in a Sonoma chardonnay: a wine that has some fruitiness and plenty of minerality, along with a backbone of structure.
