    What We’re Drinking – 2012 Weingut Salwey Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Spätburgunder GG

    The color is a light, clear, translucent garnet. Dark cherry, raspberry, and Autumn spices waft up from the glass. The mouth-feel is round and full. Tart cranberry leads, with rich black cherry playing back up. Black pepper and coffee grounds pop up as highlights. A tart red fruit sensation lingers.

    What We’re Drinking: 2015 Tommasi Le Rosse Pinot Grigio

    A richer pinot grigio that is perfect for end-of-summer meals. It’s made with grapes from Le Rosse vineyard on the Prunea estate in Valpolicella’s Sant’Ambrogio valley. The wine‘s aromas have apple and lychee. Then a streak of honey begins in the nose and continues into the palate. Hearty and creamy

    Books are strange things. In the 21st century, they're curiously out of whack with our demands for immediacy, and fast being replaced by digital equivalents in many settings. Yet they carry a certain gravitas about them, perhaps due to their permanence or even their physical weight - not to mention

    I'm starting to believe Nicolas Palazzi is a magician. He is constantly coming up with brilliant new spirits, and every single one of them meets or leaps over the bar he keeps setting higher and higher. Mic Drop Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an eight year old bourbon that drinks far

    Had a great experience with Mionetto Prosecco the other night, at the book launch for my friend Barbara Lynn Davis’ new novel Casanova’s Secret Wife. As some may know, Casanova (who actually was a real person) spent a good deal of his enthusiastically-lived life in Venice and the Veneto region

    Joel Peterson. Brice Jones. Richard Arrowood. Not so long ago, these three men were among the most-recognized winegrowers in Sonoma County, and all three can still draw a crowd whenever they pour wine. It has been years, however, since Peterson was in full cry at Ravenswood, demanding “No Wimpy Wines,”

    What We’re Drinking: 2016 Cave Robert et Marcel Saumur Les Pouches

    An easy summer wine: mineral with a touch of lime and apricot. A hint of fruit-sweetness on the palate but with grapefruit around the edges. Flavors round out a bit as it warms in the glass; also good the next day! A finish of apricot skin and lime. Screwcap: take

    If one asks an Italian their favorite summer dish, quite probably the answer will be tuna and tomatoes. Or pasta and tuna. Or simply tuna in a salad with fresh corn. Anyway, it’s tuna! In 2016, Italians consumed more than 150,000 tons of the canned fish, at a value of
