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? Pinot Grigio from Stella https://www.redwineplease.com/refreshing-riesling-at-a-value-price/ 
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 https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-from-clif-family-winery-checking-in-with-winemaker-laura-barret/ 
Napa Valley maintains a reputation as one of the preeminent wine producing areas in the world. This reputation was enhanced, and actually created for all intensive purposes, by the celebrated Judgement of Paris in 1976, where both a white and a red wine from the valley beat much heralded French wines in a head to Continue reading Wines from Clif Family Winery – Checking in with Winemaker Laura Barrett https://www.redwineplease.com/a-refreshing-summer-rose-from-michel-chapoutier/ 
It is certainly rosé season, although some rosé has the complexity and depth to make it a year round wine. Here we’ll review one that is very much suited to the summer, and a chilled glass on a warm day. It’s from Michel Chapoutier, and traditional is a blend of Syrah and Grenache grapes. Michel Continue reading A Refreshing Summer Rose from Michel Chapoutier https://www.redwineplease.com/unexpected-really-excellent-value-priced-pinot-noir/ 
We’ve said it many times, finding excellent wine under $20 is not that hard, unless you’re talking about Pinot Noir. We reviewed one a few weeks ago, and surprisingly we do the same here. Even more surprising is where the wine company is, and that is in Wickford, R.I., a small village in southern Warwick. Continue reading Unexpected, Really Excellent, Value Priced Pinot Noir https://www.redwineplease.com/an-excellent-and-unusual-white-from-slovenia/ 
A few years ago I had the chance to tour some of the winelands in western Slovenia, in the Brda region just over the Italian border from Collio. This was an eye opener, both for the beauty of the country as well as the quality of the wines. You can read more about the trip Continue reading An Excellent and Unusual White from Slovenia https://www.redwineplease.com/april-is-malbec-month-here-are-four-to-consider/ 
Malbec is the preferred red wine in much of South America, and is by far the most prevalent in Argentina, widely grown and widely drunk. In Chile, it competes with the more traditional European varietals, and is frequently blended with them. Malbec is also one of the traditional varietals of Bordeaux, and the real home Continue reading April is Malbec Month – Here are Four to Consider https://www.redwineplease.com/good-value-bubbly-from-argentina-domaine-bousquet/ 
Domaine Bousquet is located in the Tupungato Valley, just south of Mendoza in the high plateau near the Andes Mountains in Argentina. They released their first vintage back in 2005, and offer a range of various wines, including varietals, blends and sparkling wine. We reviewed two of their blends, from their Gaia line, earlier – Continue reading Good Value Bubbly from Argentina – Domaine Bousquet |
