    2019 The Vice Saint Laurent, “Majorelle”, Napa Valley, Single Vineyard

    1 min read
    I was surprised to find the St. Laurent grape grown in the Napa Valley, since I usually encounter it only in Austria. In fact this wine is made from the grapes of one single vineyard in Napa.  The wine has heady, sharp, boysenberry aromas and a bright flavor, light and

    2014 Fattoria Paradiso Vigna Delle Lepri, Sangiovese Riserva Bertinoro, Romagna DOC

    Fattoria Paradiso sits in Emilia-Romagna,  a region of Italy that is just east of Tuscany, so it is not surprising that many of their great wines are made with the same grape as Chianti, Montepulciano and Brunello: sangiovese. In this case, the wine is made with sangiovese grosso, the traditional

    A classic white wine blend from a little-known area near the famed Lake Garda, in the Veneto region of Italy. The wine is medium-light bodied, with a whisper of pineapple in the aroma, more light tropical & citrus notes on the palate, and a lightly-mineral, crisp finish. This is an

    Drink up, and move on. Have you ever fallen in love with someone’s beauty and vitality, enjoyed them to the hilt all evening – only to find the attraction had dissipated by morning? That’s the experience I had with this Pinot Noir by Gary Farrell Winery,  wonderful as an aperitif;

    How Did the “Tokay” Grape Disappear?

    2 min read
    Twenty years ago, there were three different, fairly well-known European grapes commonly referred to as “tokay” (with various spellings); today there is only one. These three grapes came from three separate countries: Italy, France and Hungary. With the launch of the European Union in the mid-1990s, grape names have been

    You’re going to need a bigger glass. Not just because you’ll want to drink more of this wine, but because it shows much better in a glass with a large bowl. Though the carmenère grape in this Chilean wine originally came from Bordeaux (as does the parent wine company, Barons
