Generally if we’re in a new area and there is a winery about, we are going to find it. When you’re in the Raleigh – Durham area there are a lot of wineries about, so we picked one close to our other excursions and stopped in to try the wines. This turned out to be Continue reading Repost – Review of Chatham Hill Winery in Cary, North Carolina https://www.redwineplease.com/repost-the-eponymous-wines-of-bob-pepi/ 
Bob Pepi has been around the wine industry a long time, almost forty years long, and you might think after that amount of time a person would start to burn out. I had a chance to talk to Bob for a bit recently, and can assure you that he is one wine veteran who is Continue reading Repost – The Eponymous Wines of Bob Pepi https://www.redwineplease.com/2010-brunello-tasting-at-gasbarros-on-federal-hill/ 
This Thursday, April 23rd, Mark Gasbarro will be hosting Part One of his 2010 Brunello Tasting. The 2010 vintage in Italy is being heralded as a great one, which we know seems to be said quite a lot recently. However a lot of people are saying it, including Mark, so I am a believer. This Continue reading 2010 Brunello Tasting at Gasbarro’s on Federal Hill https://www.redwineplease.com/top-ten-red-wines-from-the-2015-savor-ct-event/ 
As usual we’re going to do a Top Ten Red Wine list, this time from the recent Savor CT event. In itself that is not unusual. What is going to be unusual is the vastly disproportionate amount of the list that is taken by wines from Italy. They dominated this event, at least as far Continue reading Top Ten Red Wines from the 2015 Savor CT Event https://www.redwineplease.com/new-wines-at-pail-shop-vineyards-theres-more-than-baseball-in-cooperstown/ 
We were in Cooperstown, New York over the weekend, visiting Alex at school for Easter, and used a few leisure hours to visit some of the local wineries. One, Rustic Ridge, we had been to before and the reviews this time were similar. The other however was brand new, and we got a chance to Continue reading New Wines at Pail Shop Vineyards – There’s More Than Baseball in Cooperstown https://www.redwineplease.com/a-nice-fiano-and-a-middle-of-the-road-sauvignon-blanc/ 
We’ve been so busy with other things that the reviews of wines we tried over the last eight months have been building up. Here are two of them, both whites. One is from Campania, Italy, and the other a Napa Valley offering. Our notes follow: Wine: 2010 Fiano di Avellino by Azienda Agraria San Paolo Continue reading A Nice Fiano and a Middle of the Road Sauvignon Blanc https://www.redwineplease.com/trader-joes-two-or-three-buck-chuck-and-musings-about-wine-values-are-more-expensive-wines-better-or-worth-the-money/ 
The debate about what constitutes wine value will go on forever, and since it is always dependent on your own personal tastes and budget there will always be unlimited opinions. Our own perspectives have changed over time, fluctuating with our individual tastes and income, but never really getting too far afield from their early roots.

This is the sixth, and sadly last for the near future, installment in our series on the wines of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Here we’ll take a look at something a bit different, and by that we mean a place which is part winery, part botanical garden, part philanthropic institution and likely a sublimely therapeutic estate. Continue reading Part 6 of the Stellenbosch Series: The Wines of DeMorgenzon https://www.redwineplease.com/some-wines-to-look-for-from-red-white-and-brew/ 
This past Saturday, Red, White and Brew was held in Providence, RI to raise funds for Trinity Repertory Company. Wine, beer, bourbon and food provided the backdrop. We strolled around and sampled everything, and there were some real highlights to note. These were pleasant surprises, as most of the wines were new to us. The Continue reading Some Wines to Look For from Red, White and Brew https://www.redwineplease.com/part-5-of-the-stellenbosch-series-a-french-adventure-on-african-soil-glenelly-estate/ 
For our fifth installment in the series on Stellenbosch, South Africa, we move back to the southern slopes of Simonsberg Mountain and the wines of Glenelly. This farm is actually very close to another we previously highlighted, Thelema Mountain Vineyards. (you can read about that here). Glenelly is one of the farms that spurred our Continue reading Part 5 of the Stellenbosch Series: A French Adventure on African Soil: Glenelly Estate |
