A few months ago, Cheri and I took a long weekend and headed to the hub of North Carolina wine, the Yadkin Valley. From our base in Winston-Salem we headed northwest the first day, and our article on Raffaldini Vineyards will give you an idea of the quality we found there. You can read that

While on our recent visit to the Hudson Valley of New York, we managed to squeeze in one winery visit. The area actually has many, as the wine industry seems to be thriving here. Our choice was Millbrook Vineyards and Winery in the town of Millbrook. While the downtown is really quaint, with adorable shops

A few years ago we did an in depth look at Stellenbosch, South Africa including reviews of five wineries. One of those was Raats Family Vineyards, and it was one of our favorites. You can read about that here. Bruwer Raats does great things across the board, from his Chenin Blancs to his top end

Ponzi Vineyards began in the 1960s, when Dick and Nancy bought the land in Sherwood, Oregon and planted the initial vineyards in 1968. The Willamette Valley was not famous back then, and decades would go by before it became so for its exquisite Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Ponzi grew consistently throughout the years, adding a

When you want someting fruity, fun and a little on the lighter side, Asti Spumanti is always a great choice. The best of them are almost ethereal, like drinking fluffy clouds with fruit flavors and a pleasing bubbly sensation. Made with the Moscato grape, alcohol tends to be lower than 10% and the juice can

Almost all wine lovers know about the bad press the Merlot grape received when the movie Sideways came out. Paul Giamatti’s character went off on the varietal, essentially murdering it and then shooting the corpse, which he then lit on fire. It was a scathing denouncement of Merlot as vapid, unworthy wine that only cretins

Great Pinot Noir has that pure core of cherry fruit the grape is know for. It is surounded, nuanced and accentuated with other aromas and flavors, but the fruit core is the driving element. You might get a warm, earthy note such as in the wines from Burgundy, Orgeon and other places. There could be

Sauvignon Blanc is one of hose wines that has really distinct quality levels. Most are fresh and crisp. Some have more fruit, some have lots of grassy notes. Wines in all of those styes can be good to very good. If you add some oak you get another wine entirely, also good and a style
