There are so many wines being produced all over the world that you really should branch out and try some of them. Alternatives for your go-to white or red abound. This is potentially one of those alternatives. Traditionally the grape is known as a main component of Tokaji, considered for centuries as a delicious, rare, Continue reading Something White, Refreshing and Different – Furmint! https://www.redwineplease.com/2005-bordeaux-drinking-well-chateau-destieux/ 
We reached into the 2005 Bordeaux this week and pulled out a bottle of Chateau Destieux. This St. Emilion wine comes from old vines, and it certainly delivered. We’re not quite sure if it is at its peak yet, but it is close. Very drinkable now it will be good for many years yet, so Continue reading 2005 Bordeaux Drinking Well! – Chateau Destieux https://www.redwineplease.com/extreme-value-white-wine-try-a-torrontes/ 
This one is a keeper, a great value, complex white wine which just over delivers in a big way. Everyone has heard of Malbec, the red wine of Argentina, and many other places. Malbec is also one of the five red grapes of Bordeaux. Not as many know Argentina’s predominant white grape, that being Torrontes.

Good wine pops up in the most unexpected places sometimes. Take central Pennsylvania for example. This is not exactly a hotbed of wine production, but like most every place in the country these days there are wineries about. We were meeting the kids at Hershey Park for a mini vacation recently, and since we Continue reading Unexpectedly Good Wines in Hershey, Pennsylvania – Cullari Vineyards and Winery https://www.redwineplease.com/a-low-cost-pleasing-summer-white-wine-value/ 
Summer is officially here, and it’s a good time to line up some easy drinking white wines that chill well and deliver value. For us that frequently means Sauvignon Blanc. It could be a Riesling, Vouvray or Furmint as well, among others. There are a lot of options here. Recently we ran across a very Continue reading A Low Cost, Pleasing Summer White Wine Value https://www.redwineplease.com/repost-initial-reviews-of-2010-brunellos/ 
I had the chance to taste a few of the 2010 Brunello releases this past week at a tasting in Providence, at Gasbarros Wines in Providence.

Last week we attended yet another excellent tasting opportunity at Mark Gasbarro’s as Caymus shipped out their new releases and they were opened for the tasting public. They brought a pretty full range, including the Special Selection Cabernet. One thing that was immediately evident is that prices have jumped a bit this year, with the Continue reading Review of the Wines of Caymus Tasting at Gasbarros, on Federal Hill https://www.redwineplease.com/caymus-tasting-at-gasbarros-this-thursday-june-11th/

Two weeks ago I had the chance to wander around the Horizon Beverage Wine Expo, where hundreds of wines were on display. There were many good ones, and several to make special note of. There were also several tables I did not get to as well, but here are the highlights: 2013 Galerie Napa Valley Continue reading Repost – Some Noteworthy Wines from the Horizon Beverage 2015 Expo |
