Easter and Passover are upon us, even in this most uncertain of times, so adding some sweetness to our lives might just provide a much-needed lift this week. (Or anytime, really.) Chocolate is often part of the holiday mix, as are other sweets, and wine is certainly always on the Read More

In the pantheon of sparkling wine producing areas Trentodoc may not be on your radar. However, it is likely only a matter of time before it is as much a household name as Prosecco. In the clear air of the snowy Dolomite mountains, Italian winemakers are ramping up their production Read More

Everybody needs a buy-by-the-case wine for a hot dog and fried chicken picnic. A very pale salmon color and a sweet strawberry nose are the first impressions of this wine. A bit more tart on the palate, strawberry is joined by cherry and a touch of sour apple. The sour Read More

Elisabetta Foradori is a darling of the biodynamic/natural wine community.

Lots of spice in this red wine experience: leafy, fruity, aromas, with blackberry with pepper predominating into the front- and mid-palate. A medium-weight wine.
