For the third part of our evolving look into French wine, we travel backwards a tiny bit and find ourselves once again in Vouvray, in the middle of the Touraine. This is Chenin Blanc country, which can take many forms. To get an appreciation for some of the breadth possible with this grape we turn Continue reading Back to France Part 3: Vouvray (Again) and the Wines of Vincent Carême https://www.redwineplease.com/a-look-at-chile-through-the-wines-of-vina-koyle/ 
We recently took an in-depth look at the wines from the Mendoza region of Argentina and Valentin Bianchi (you can read about that by clicking here). That prompted us to look for a producer in the other major wine making country in South America: Chile. Chile and Argentina share a long border formed from the Continue reading A Look at Chile Through the Wines of Vina Koyle https://www.redwineplease.com/back-to-france-part-2-touraine-sauvignon-blanc-from-domaine-paul-buisse/ 
We’re going to be taking a virtual wine tour of France for a while here at Red Wine Please!, and the first installment featured some excellent Vouvrays. For this article we travel just a bit east of Vouvray, still along the river, to the commune of Montrichard. We also switch grapes, from the Chenin Blanc Continue reading Back to France Part 2: Touraine Sauvignon Blanc from Domaine Paul Buisse https://www.redwineplease.com/back-to-france-part-1-the-loire-valley-vouvray-and-the-wines-of-clos-du-gaimont/ 
When I first started to get seriously into wine some twenty years ago, the wines of France were instrumental in igniting the passion. There were several reasons for this. One was that they have always had a reputation of being the best. Names like Bordeaux and Burgundy are known to all, even those not interested Continue reading Back to France Part 1– The Loire Valley, Vouvray and the Wines of Clos du Gaimont https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-to-buy-from-the-2016-boston-wine-expo/ 
This past weekend we were at the 2016 Boston Wine Expo for the Sunday Grand Tasting. It was the coldest day in Boston in 60 years, but at least it wasn’t a driving blizzard like last year, when the Sunday event were cancelled. This time we made it. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, Continue reading Wines to Buy from the 2016 Boston Wine Expo https://www.redwineplease.com/savor-ct-coming-soon-here-are-the-events/ 
We were at the first annual Savor event in Hartford last year, and it was one of the best Wine and Food events we have ever attended. This year we’re expecting more great things. Below is an overview of the events. You can visit their website at: http://www.savorct.com/index.html.

As we have said before, one of the greatest things that happens in wine is when you find one that costs far below what it should. These happen occasionally, you just have to find them, or stumble across them. We are happy to report on one of those rare bottles here, and this one found Continue reading A Must Buy, Value Cabernet from Chile https://www.redwineplease.com/another-good-california-pinot-noir-this-time-under-15/ 
Finding good Pinot Noir under $20 can be difficult. We’ve highlighted a few recently, and here is another one which is actually likely to run you under $15. This is a good thing when it happens. Let’s take a look: Wine: 2013 Greg Norman Estates Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County Winery Location: From Santa Continue reading Another Good California Pinot Noir – This Time Under $15 https://www.redwineplease.com/review-of-the-latest-releases-from-seamus-wines/ 
We wrote about the boys from Seamus a little over a year ago. We liked their story, we liked their wines and we liked them. They’re doing some great things with quality sourced grapes from the best wine regions in California. This is small lot production including Cabernet Sauvignon from Somoma (along with a Reserve Continue reading Review of the Latest Releases From Seamus Wines https://www.redwineplease.com/tradition-and-innovation-from-mendoza-the-wines-of-valentin-bianchi/ 
It’s time we took a look toward South America on our wine investigations. Over the past twenty years the wines of Argentina and Chile have emerged on the world stage, earning a reputation for value along the way. In this article we’ll focus on the Mendoza province of Argentina, and specifically the wines of Valentin Continue reading Tradition and Innovation from Mendoza – the Wines of Valentin Bianchi |
