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.

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.

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 https://www.redwineplease.com/very-good-rioja-for-under-20/ 
We are big fans of Rioja, loving the elegance and complexity that the traditional representations bring to the nose and palate. Old style Rioja generally means aromas of subdued red fruit, leather, tobacco and oak. American oak was always used, although recently there has been some movement toward French barrels. A good Rioja can age Continue reading Very Good Rioja for Under $20 https://www.redwineplease.com/a-sense-of-place-the-wines-of-galerie/ 
The more you talk with winemakers, the more you realize how broad the spectrum is of inspirations that drive them, and experiences which mold them. It could be a childhood spent around wine, a chance encounter later in life or an early recognition followed by a fanatical pursuit of a goal. It varies, just as Continue reading A Sense of Place – The Wines of Galerie https://www.redwineplease.com/wine-food-and-general-musings-from-our-holiday-trip-to-universal-studios-and-disney-world/ 
Question: How do you know you did at least some things right when your children were growing up? Answer: They still ask as adults to go to Disney World with you on vacation. Entrance to Universal Studios This is a very good thing, and to reinforce it we flew down to Orlando again Continue reading Wine, Food and General Musings from our Holiday Trip to Universal Studios and Disney World https://www.redwineplease.com/a-decent-lower-priced-barbaresco/ 
We have always loved Nebbiolo, ever more so since we traveled a bit through Piemonte last year and visited both Barbaresco and Barolo. There’s a reason Barolo has been called the King of Wines. Nebbiolo can be so great, however that generally comes at a price. Finding an excellent Nebbiolo at a reasonable cost is Continue reading A Decent, Lower Priced Barbaresco |
