    The color if very pale straw, clear and bright. Honey, white flowers, and hints of lemon zest show on the nose. Citrus zest, green apples, and a hint of ginger are followed by honey, with lingering lemon. This is a good wine for the dollar, with good acidity balancing a

    “This has been a dream of mine for two years,” the Israeli consul confided to me a few nights ago. At this point I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it wasn’t a secret military mission we were talking about. It was wine. Of course. This slight-but-compact diplomat, dressed in

    How many wine appellations are there in Italy? More than 300. There are so many that most Italian people don’t know about all of them. For context, the law which established the “appellations of origin” for Italian wines was published in 1963. A few years later, in 1966, the very

    The stand-out sensory experience from a recent week in Barcelona came courtesy of a nameless red vermut at a natural wine bar. It showed up in the customary regional fashion, with a citrus peel over a big ice cube, looking far more like sangria than fine wine. At €2.50, it

    The color is gold, giving the appearance of a much older wine. It seems oxidized at first, but blows off quickly. Honey, caramel, lime peel, and smoke show on the nose. On the palate it is on the sweet side, like a Spatlese, leaning toward Auslese. Honey, lime zest, and

    I was in Cognac one hot summer day, trying to make conversation with a producer who spoke about as much English as I do French, and the situation was getting  sticky in every way when he suddenly asked me whether I had been to Scotland. Yes, I had. Well, then,

    This is a beautiful wine. Melon and lemon custard aromas are so delicious you might forget to drink. But don't. Layers of flavor pile in, one after another. An initial lime citrus zing leaps to creamy lemon custard, then ripe melon, then back to a zing with some pineapple, with

    While we’ve heard that pizza is universal, we didn’t realize they were making wines to pair with it in places like…Moldova. And if you haven’t checked out this country’s wine website, just google “Moldova: Who Knew” and you’ll find yourself racing cars through underground wine vaults, singing sweetly with Norwegians,
