    “The neighborhood is certainly right,” the buyer must have thought. “Those rich Rothschild cousins live just a few vine rows away, over on the other side of D2.  And the Tesserons at Pontet-Canet seem like good people, even though they have just recently moved here – well, 40 years ago

    What We’re Drinking – Papa’s Pilar Dark Rum, Bourbon Barrel Aged

    We loved Papa's Pilar Dark Rum. Now they've taken it up another notch and given that 93-point rum an additional 8 months of aging in Bourbon barrels. There are plenty of adjectives to choose from, but it's hard to get past the very first "Wow!" that erupts out of your

    Wine lovers, let's help save a grape. It's not quite on its last legs, but it's misunderstood, and our obsession with ratings and blind tasting is partly to blame. The grape is Sylvaner. A century ago it was the most-planted grape in both Alsace and Germany. It's one of the

    The color is a very pretty pale pink. Sweet fruit aromas, cherry and strawberry, float up from the glass. The palate is more tart than the nose. Raspberries and cranberries take the lead. Some herbs show up on the mid-palate, clearly marking the primary grape as Syrah. There is a

    Troon is in the southern Oregon Applegate Valley AVA. Troon is making wines from some non-traditional grapes, including this blend of Malbec and Tannat. Malbec is the grape that made the famous Black Wine of Cahors, a rich dark tannic grape. It is also one of the six grapes allowed

    On a visit to Margaret River in Western Australia, with its popular and well-established, high-volume wineries, we find one winemaker — an American — who is taking a different turn by producing low-output wines of unique garagiste appeal. Though he is already widely acclaimed outside Australia, given his philosophy and approach, local acceptance may

    (Editor's note - This is a slideshow posting of a Palate Press article from 2012.) I led a wine tasting once for students at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. I like pouring for twenty-somethings because they’re so eager to taste and talk about wine. With B-schoolers like these, I’ll also cover
