Unusual and Excellent Whites from the Alentejo Region of Portugal, and the Antao Vaz Grape

A few months ago we did a feature article on red wine from the Alentejo region of Portugal, which you can read about by clicking here. This is my favorite area for Portuguese wines, however I must admit almost all of my tasting experience has been with the red wines. We recently had an opportunity

As you drive south down the west side of Seneca Lake, in the Finger Lakes, you’ll see the sign for Prejean Winery on your right. A this point, if you started at the top of the lake, you’ve gone past 7 or 8 wineries already. How do you know which ones are worth stopping
