    This is a fascinating dry wine made on the astonishingly beautiful Aeolian Islands, just north of Sicily (which are known mostly for their sweet passito wines). 60% Malvasia di Lipari and 40% Carricante, vines are grown using the Alberello technique, an ancient method each vine is staked to grow by

    If you are like me, secretly crossing your fingers and hoping for a taste of Burgundy when you sip California pinot noirs, you will be rewarded here. Sip lightly for the first few minutes until the wine opens up in the glass and more red berry aromas blossom on the

    2017 Olema Chardonnay Sonoma County – ask this Chard to dinner

    With streaks of buttery vanilla and a lip-smacking citric finish, this is not your everyday California Chardonnay. Part was fermented in oak and part in stainless steel, which gives the wine a little more restraint. It’s not overblown with fruit and the acidity begs for food, so serve it with

    2016 Amici Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast: an everyday Burgundy white wine – but it’s from California

    If you’re ever thinking you might want to be drinking more French, try this Burgundian-style chardonnay. Compared to many California chardonnays this wine is refined; in Burgundy, it would  be a beautiful everyday wine. The wine has typical aromas and flavors of earth, lime, limestone with apricot on the end-palate.

    For relaxing with friends on a warm summer evening, this wine turns out to be a great choice. It comes from the far northern region of Italy called Alto Adige – an area so close to Austria that it is also known by its German name, Sudtirol. The wine is

    2016 Edna Valley Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc – a white wine to ease you into dinner

    Start as an aperitif, and pour another glass for lunch or your first course at dinner. Some earthiness and creaminess mixed with herbs in the aroma. Clean and light on the palate, with a subtly citrus, refreshing end-palate and a touch of orange oil in the finish. WHO: Edna Valley

    In the glass, the wine’s pinkish red color and clear edges indicate that this California pinot noir has a touch of French style, too. An aroma of red berries flows into the flavors the palate, with some sharp bramble character too. Light tannins close the finish nicely. And the winemaker

    Stags Leap: A Hidden(ish) Piece of Paradise Within Napa

    In many ways, the Stags Leap AVA embodies everything the Napa Valley is most celebrated for: a heterogeneous mixture of soils, elevation and climactic influences, with a steady Mediterranean climate. This area also avoids some of the clichéd criticism of too much traffic, flash and cash often lobbed at the
