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. This vintage has received rave reviews from all the wine writers, garnering 95+ scores on many wines, and thanks to Mark Gasbarro you could actually try some of these Continue reading Repost – Initial Reviews of 2010 Brunellos https://www.redwineplease.com/review-of-the-wines-of-caymus-tasting-at-gasbarros-on-federal-hill/ 
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/ 
This Thursday, June 11, Mark Gasbarro is hosting another excellent, and free, wine tasting. Caymus comes to town with a great lineup of wines. The time is 6:00 to 8:00 at Gasbarro’s Wines on Federal Hill in Providence, RI. Here are the wines and their descriptions from Caymus. You can try them and see if Continue reading Caymus Tasting at Gasbarro’s This Thursday, June 11th! https://www.redwineplease.com/repost-some-noteworthy-wines-from-the-horizon-beverage-2015-expo/ 
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 https://www.redwineplease.com/repost-review-of-chatham-hill-winery-in-cary-north-carolina/ 
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 |
