We were just in Raleigh, North Carolina visiting family, and found ourselves with a free afternoon. Part of that afternoon ended up being spent sitting in the comfy bar at Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse, where we felt in need of red wine. It was 96 degrees outside, but that somehow left us undaunted (air conditioning is

Let’s travel to the heel of the Italian boot to find a rich, full bodied red from a non-traditional grape, and one which won’t break the bank. From the Puglia region (or Apulia in Italian), this wine is completely treated in stainless steel, with no oak. The depth is surprising.
This is another of the

We stop into Crush Fine Wines in New Bedford, MA whenever we’re in the area. Kristian Vasilev, the proprietor, always has something open and lots of unusual things on his shelves. (You can read a bit about the store by clicking here) The open wines tend to be in the sweet spot for good value,

We haven’t reviewed many wines from Australia recently, which is a bit odd considering we used to buy and drink wine from down under quite frequently years ago. There was a variety or two in the Penfolds line that were regulars in our household, and we also went through a period rather heavy in Shiraz.

Sauvignon Blanc can be very different depending on where it is from and how it is made. Some are fruity, some are smooth and elegant, some are oaky and smoky. This particular wine is a very young Sauvignon Blanc, straight from the tanks, into the bottles and off to your wine store’s shelves.
Montes began

We’ve reviewed quite a few Chilean wines recently, and overall have been seriously impressed. You can read more about the wines of Chile in one of our earlier articles by clicking here. The country has gained recognition on the international wine scene, but many people are probably unaware of the kind of quality they are
