The Alto Adige DOC is located in Northeast Italy, tucked under the southern slopes of the Dolomites. This area presents an Alpine and Mediterranean climate, with the Adriatic Sea not far away. Primarily known for its white wines, the region can, none the less, do quite nicely with other varietals such as Pinot Noir. We’ll Continue reading Quality Wines from Peter Zemmer in Alto Adige https://www.redwineplease.com/cellar-time-2006-tenute-de-cerro-la-poderina-brunello-di-montalcino/ 
Let’s take a quick excursion into the wine cellar and talk about a great wine, from a great region, and a great vintage as well. That’s a triple play of greatness, and you would expect that the juice was fairly exceptional. It was. Here it is: Wine: 2006 Tenute de Cerro La Poderina Brunello di Continue reading Cellar Time – 2006 Tenute de Cerro ‘La Poderina’ Brunello di Montalcino https://www.redwineplease.com/two-worthy-northern-italian-whites-from-gran-passione/ 
Gran Passione is a line of wines which celebrates some of the greatest areas for Italian wine, and, in all cases, the passion and intensity that Italian winemakers apply to their craft. They offer traditional wines from the Venteto, Piemonte, Campania and Puglia regions. Some are maybe not quite so traditional, as in the case Continue reading Two Worthy Northern Italian Whites from Gran Passione https://www.redwineplease.com/rich-and-expressive-red-from-domaine-de-bila-haut/ 
Domaine de Bila-Haut was purchased by Michel Chapoutier in 1999. The property, located in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, traces wine making roots back to the ancient Greek mariners. The House of Bila, which is the translation of the name of the estate, was once a house of refuge for the Knights Templar. So this Continue reading Rich and Expressive Red from Domaine de Bila-Haut https://www.redwineplease.com/world-class-wines-from-hickinbotham-in-mclaren-vale-south-australia/ 
Before we get to some truly amazing wines, let’s put how we’ll describe them in some context. The more we taste wines from all around the world, in all different styles and at all different price points, the more wine tends to group itself into distinct ranges. While there are the ubiquitous number ratings, which Continue reading World Class Wines from Hickinbotham in McLaren Vale, South Australia https://www.redwineplease.com/good-cabernet-sauvignon-for-15/ 
Here’s a quick review of a recent purchase, and a pretty solid value. The wine is Cabernet Sauvignon, gets good scores from the wine press, and only cost us $15. Chances are you’ll find it, or the 2016 vintage of the same wine, for under $20. It’s quite good for the money and something to Continue reading Good Cabernet Sauvignon for $15 https://www.redwineplease.com/wine-in-cans-why-not-pinot-grigio-from-stella/ 
I have always been wary of wine in cans. Good wine in a box – now that I agree with. Not all of them of course, but I have tried good ones in the past. Something about the can and wine has always been unsettling, however. Yet there’s always a new experience to be had, Continue reading Wine in Cans? Why not?

Some things change, some things don’t. One thing which doesn’t is the fact that Riesling offers some of the best values in white wine available. This is a very good thing. You can always find quality, refreshing, value driven Rieslings under $20, sometimes under $10. The grape also provides the winemaker with a broad canvas, Continue reading Refreshing Riesling at a Value Price https://www.redwineplease.com/2016-an-excellent-vintage-for-chilean-carmenere-here-are-three-to-consider/ 
It’s always interesting to see how the same wines, from the same place and usually from the same winemaker, can change vintage to vintage. This is one of the reasons we love wine, as you never know what is coming next, even from old favorites. The 2016 Carmenere vintage in Chile, and specifically the Carmeneres Continue reading 2016 – An Excellent Vintage for Chilean Carmenere – Here are Three to Consider https://www.redwineplease.com/impeccable-rose-from-ferraton-pere-fils/ 
Summer is considered by many to be Rosé time. While we are not the biggest fans of rosé, we can certainly appreciate a good, chilled glass on a warm day. Some rosés however, as it is with all varietals and wine styles, step up and deliver a bit more. Here we’ll take a look at Continue reading Impeccable Rosé from Ferraton Pere & Fils |
