It can be difficult to find good Pinot Noir at bargain prices. Actually we have always found it to be the most difficult of the major varieties. You can get good Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Malbec and so on for under $20. Not so much with Pinot Noir. Low priced options tend to be watery Continue reading A Quality, Go To Pinot Noir under $20 https://www.redwineplease.com/crush-an-eclectic-wine-shop-in-new-bedford-ma/ 
Cheri and I grew up in the New Bedford, MA area, and have seen the city’s downtown go through rebuild and renaissance several times. Most have not had lasting effects, but the downtown area these days has a different feeling. Restaurants and shops along Purchase street and close by seem to be thriving, and there Continue reading Crush – an Eclectic Wine Shop in New Bedford, MA https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-from-thanksgiving-2015/ 
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate family, cook all day, eat all day and of course drink some wine! We managed to do that this year, with only a small gathering. There were only four of us, but no one was driving anywhere so we managed to get into a few different bottles. Here’s what Continue reading Wines From Thanksgiving 2015 https://www.redwineplease.com/an-excellent-value-in-2010-bordeaux/ 
Here we’ll review one of our 2010 Bordeaux bottles, in this case a Medoc wine with a fairly modest price tag. The wine is another great example of what we always say, buy lower priced Chateaux in great Bordeaux vintages – that’s where the great values lie. As further proof we offer the following: Wine: Continue reading An Excellent Value in 2010 Bordeaux https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-diamond-hill-vineyards-in-cumberland-ri/ 
Something we generally do at least once every year, and preferably more than that, is take the short drive up Route 295 to visit Diamond Hill Vineyards. As we have previously reported, Diamond Hill is one of our favorite New England wineries. There are a few reasons for that, including the fact that they still Continue reading Visit to Diamond Hill Vineyards in Cumberland, RI https://www.redwineplease.com/library-wine-2007-mt-veeder-reserve/ 
Since it was our anniversary this past week we pulled a library wine out of one of the wine fridges and splurged a bit. The wine was the 2007 Mt. Veeder Reserve from Napa. This wine is a pretty typical Bordeaux blend, although there is no Cabernet Franc to be found. It’s a blend of Continue reading Library Wine – 2007 Mt. Veeder Reserve https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-leyden-farm-vineyards-and-winery-november-2015/ 
We recently stopped by another of our local New England wineries, this time Leyden Farm in West Greenwich, RI. Leyden Farm is a relatively new winery, only being open for business for the past three or four years. We visited about two years ago to see how things were going, and they had just opened Continue reading Visit to Leyden Farm Vineyards and Winery – November 2015 https://www.redwineplease.com/the-wines-of-marchesi-defrescobaldi/ 
Mark Gasbarro just hosted a wine tasting featuring the wines of Marchesi de’Frescobaldi. If you haven’t been to one of Mark’s tastings get out and try one. They are the best deal in town, as they are free and usually feature some pretty high end wines. This was a good one. A well Continue reading The Wines of Marchesi de’Frescobaldi https://www.redwineplease.com/recommended-wine-values-from-vinska-klet-goriska-brda/ 
During my recent journeys through Slovenia, and visit to the Vinska Klet Goriška Brda winery, I was exposed to many excellent wines at great value points. You can read about that trip by clicking here, or here, or even here. This is an up and coming wine region, and Vinska Klet Goriška Brda is an Continue reading Recommended Wine Values from Vinska Klet Goriška Brda https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-and-wine-review-vino-volo-at-philadelphia-airport/ 
On my way to Slovenia for a visit to the Vinska Klet Goriska Brda winery, I had a stopover in Philadelphia before flying to Venice. In this case it was a long layover, and usually that means a drink and something to eat. True to form I ended up at Vino Volo right in the Continue reading Dining and Wine Review: Vino Volo at Philadelphia Airport |
