    Versatile Value Wine: 2016 Raimat “Pirinenca” Tempranillo

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Having been told this was an extremely versatile Tempranillo, I decided to put it to the test at our local library's potluck dinner this week – and it’s true. Tasted beforehand, the wine began with sweet fruit flavors and cedar/baking spices on the nose and dark red fruit on the

    Everyday Wine from a Remarkable Place: 2018 Kellerei Bozen “Perl” Lagrein

    1 min read
    This wine is produced by a remarkable cooperative of 224 families that was founded in 1908 in the Northern Italian mountainous territory of Alto Adige, also known as Südtirol. It's a lovely every-day wine made with indigenous lagrein grapes. Red fruit and flowers in the aroma. Sweet red fruit and

    2016 Furggl Lagrein Riserva When opened, big aromas of dark-red fruit and earthiness wafted from the bottled, with a whiff of aromatic-sweetness. Fruity on the palate, more boldness than finesse. Probably at the top of its game now, as full as can be, with well-integrated tannins, some acidity -- and

    Bache Gabrielsen Very Old AOC Pineau des Charentes

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    The producers of the aperitif wine Pineau des Charentes have upped their game. In order to be labeled “very old” this traditional aperitif of the Cognac region of France must be aged in barrels for at least ten years. Which is quite a long time something that was traditionally a

    Is it naïve to think one person can use wine to change a nation’s fate? Perhaps, but that is just what economist-turned-importer Indira Bayer has set out to do. The country called Bosnia and Herzogvina has a small, 12-mile strip of craggy coast on the Adriatic sea, a mountainous center

    Delightful Winter Drinking but Decant First: 2016 Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso DOC

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This 2016 from Bertani is focused and lively. Just-pressed Amarone grapes enhance the flavors of Valpolicella Ripasso wines with their rich, ripe, concentrated fruit. Clear notes of red and dark red fruit appear in the aromas and on the palate, and the fruit intensifies as the wine opens. Softened tannins

    Delightful Aperitif, Lightly Chilled: Reviseur Pineau des Charentes AOC Vieux Pineau

    In case you haven’t had Pineau des Charentes before, it is traditionally served lightly chilled, as an aperitif, in casual settings in the Cognac region of France. This delightful Pineau is aged for a full 5 years in barrel, which has made it softer and richer on the palate. It

    Aperitif or Dessert? Anyhow, Serve Chilled: Domaine de la Margotterie AOC Pineau des Charentes Blanc

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Pineau des Charentes, served lightly chilled, is a traditional, casual aperitif from the Cognac region of France. The label on this bottle says “dessert wine” which is somewhat misleading. This particular Pineau is a very aromatic aperitif; it could also be served in small portions, well-chilled, as an intermezzo or
