    Aromas of honeysuckle and magnolia roll up in waves from the glass. Ripe white peach coats the palate up front, then sour apple zings across, followed by slate and apricot. The finish last a long time. Acids are bright, mouth-feel round. This is a lovely wine at a very moderate

    Are we underestimating Merlot? While most people in the wine trade recognize Merlot is making a comeback in the U.S. after its numbers slipped in the wake of Sideways, perhaps there is something much bigger is happening. What if Merlot is really in the middle of a run to replace

    A luxurious silky palate of dark fruits, blueberry and black cherry, with a touch of real black licorice. Tannins are pillow soft. Fruit on the mid-palate goes from round to tart, bright enough to match anything you throw at it. Drink with mushroom risotto. Highly Recommended 93 points. DBH WHO:

    This is a big, round mouthful of wine fit for the finest filet. Rich blue fruit and pie fruit aromas waft up from the glass. Blackberry and blueberry lead, with some higher toned red fruits on the mid-palate. Cabernet Franc tobacco leaf can barely contain the boisterous sweet fruits. Tannins

    Loads of strawberries, plus sage and red clay, waft up on the nose. Strawberries of every kind, from plump and ripe served with cream to tiny, wild, and tart, to dried, come through in layers on the palate. Sage gives way to clove and a touch of cinnamon from attack

    I had expected great things from my first experiences with cocktail bitters. Bitter flavors are great, and so are condiments. Make me a kale and radicchio salad spiked with anchovies, garlic, and mustard and I'll nosh contentedly. So I was surprised, when I splashed some of the classic Angostura on

    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

    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,
