    It is 5 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon, and I am gingerly sipping a flaming cocktail called the Passion Fruit Volcano in a dark, underground bar in central Frankfurt – an ironic place to be starting my somewhat curious mission to drink a lot of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque in an

    It may be almost time to kiss the summer season goodbye and move on to cozy sweaters and savory comfort food. But before we jump the gun, let us remember that September is never quite as chilly as we think it to be. While it’s certainly time to put the

    We hung on to this one a little long - it must have rolled into a corner of the cellar. The wait was rewarded with a very lovely wine that doesn't usually get any years behind it. This Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc was 16% barrel fermented in Russian oak, and

    In Burgundy, the year 2016 is proving an annus horribilis of ruthless proportions. Crushed between the Scylla and Charybdis of catastrophic hail and frost damage in April and May, followed by humidity and passage of Brexit (the British exit from the European Union), Burgundians strain to retain their trademark composure

    When people tell me "I don't like bubbles" I slap them until they go away. Who doesn't love bubbles? Bubbles have been fun since we were babies. First there were bubble baths, then blowing bubbles, the bubble gum, and then, finally, we grow up and we get to drink BUBBLES!

    Every May an intense and somewhat curious ritual goes on in Alba in the Piedmont region of Italy. There, dozens of international journalists gather to taste hundreds of excellent wines made with the nebbiolo grape.
