    2017 Handley Water Tower Chardonnay, Anderson Valley

    I found myself charmed by this Northern California Chardonnay – which turned out to be anything but typical. The wine is clean and crisp with a touch of fruit. It’s actually a great introduction to the Chablis style of Chardonnay. Minerality jumps out at you in the aroma and persists

    This wine is a star of the very small Custoza DOC appellation in the western part of the Veneto region, near Lake Garda. Opening the bottle is like plunging into a wonderful garden of aromatic white flowers. A couple years of age on this “Custoza Superiore” does amazing things in

    “It’ll be just like Hell today, but with more humidity,” joked the radio weatherman. I believed him; it was one of those brutal summer weeks in the low country – near Charleston, SC – where not only did the mercury-read more-

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

    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

    After my one night stand with Gary Farrell’s Pinot Noir from McDonald Mountain Vineyard, I was ready to settle down by the time I got to Martaella Vineyard. And it is a more settled type of wine, with more body and gravitas.  This is pinot noir with many of the

    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;
