This past weekend brought picture perfect weather to New England, and a grateful recipient of that was the 2016 Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival. Over the course of four days people were treated to some pretty spectacular wines, some creative and delicious food, excellent seminars, cooking demos, grilling demos, more wine and spectacular views. Continue reading Another Great Weekend of Wine and Food at the Newport Mansions https://www.redwineplease.com/more-accolades-for-seamus-wines/ 
We’re big fans of Seamus wines, and have been for several years. There are lots of reasons, first and foremost being that they make great wines. Their 2012 Atwood Ranch Reserve Cabernet is one of the best wines we’ve ever had, anywhere, anytime. You can’t get it just yet, as they haven’t officially released, but Continue reading More Accolades for Seamus Wines https://www.redwineplease.com/a-great-value-in-2012-bordeaux-chateau-lestage-from-montagne-saint-emilion/ 
We’ve said it many times before, one of our favorite things to do is buy Bordeaux from great vintages. We buy the lesser heralded Chateaux, and most are not included in the ranks from the Classification of 1855, which grouped the wine producers of Bordeaux into ordered tiers of quality (you can read more about Continue reading A Great Value in 2012 Bordeaux: Chateau Lestage from Montagne Saint-Émilion https://www.redwineplease.com/review-of-dark-horse-2014-cabernet-sauvignon-and-2015-sauvignon-blanc/ 
Here we have two wines from Dark Horse Wines in Modesto, California. We must have seen a bazillion commercials over the past few months with winemaker Beth Liston. The message is all about breaking some rules, changing some things up and making premium wine at modest prices. We certainly applaud their goals. Recently we ran Continue reading Review of Dark Horse 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2015 Sauvignon Blanc https://www.redwineplease.com/georges-duboeuf-family-tradition-and-the-wines-of-2014/ 
Born into wine tradition in the area of Pouilly-Fuissé in the Mâconnais, at the southern tip of Burgundy, Georges Duboeuf has been around wine his whole life. He founded Les Vins Georges Duboeuf in 1964, after he had already been pioneering innovation in the local wine industry for over a decade. The rest, quite literally, Continue reading Georges Duboeuf – Family, Tradition and the Wines of 2014 https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-jonathan-edwards-winery-in-north-stonington-ct/ 
On a hot, but otherwise beautiful, summer day in New England several weeks ago we took a drive out to North Stonington and visited the Jonathan Edwards Winery. It has been several years since our last visit here, and definitely time to catch up on the winery and the wines. We’ve seen them at wine Continue reading Visit to Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington, CT https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-tavolo-in-smithfield-rhode-island/ 
Last week we stopped in at Tavolo Wine Bar & Tuscan Grill in Smithfield, RI. We were armed with a groupon, hungry and thirsty, and completely unaware of what to expect. Surprise can be good and bad. Let’s see which way this one went. The restaurant is in a rather interesting spot with multiple buildings Continue reading Dining Review: Tavolo in Smithfield, Rhode Island https://www.redwineplease.com/does-freezing-affect-wine-lets-see-with-wines-from-smith-madrone/ 
It’s early August, the temperatures are regularly surpassing 90 degrees, and it’s hot out there! Logically we should be writing about which rosé to be drinking and refreshing, chilled summer sippers. To me it seems like the perfect time to talk about something cold, and we have just the thing. Actually we had three things, Continue reading Does Freezing Affect Wine?

Let’s get back to France for a bit here, and continue the series on French wines which has been a theme throughout this year. You can start the series by clicking here. For this article, we’ll stay in Burgundy, but only barely. Just north of Beaujolais, the Maconnais represents the southern border of what is Continue reading Back to France Part 6: The Maconnais and Wines from Maison Matisco https://www.redwineplease.com/exciting-news-from-chateau-tanunda-bordeaux-style-blends-coming-from-new-area/ 
Here’s a recent press release from Chateau Tanunda, a Barossa Valley farm and winery in Australia. We reviewed some of their wines and interviewed John Geber, the proprietor, a while back. (you can read about that by clicking here) John just struck water in the Eden Valley, and this will enable a project that will Continue reading Exciting News from Chateau Tanunda – Bordeaux Style Blends Coming from New Area |
