It’s unusual to find a New England Winery that produces all estate wines. There are good reasons for that, as grapes are difficult to grow here, especially red varieties, and there are certainly sources for quality grapes grown elsewhere. Still, it’s nice to find a local winery that has made that commitment to estate grown

We love port wine, or at least I do. My son has gained an affinity for tawny, while I tend to favor vintage port but still love a good tawny as well. In general I consider port to be one of the great values available in the wine world, considering you can buy a 30

It was Christmas Day, the parks were really crowded and we felt the need for a little refreshment and relaxation. Lunch at the Coral Reef had been good, but after three hours of crowds we felt the need to sit. On a whim we strolled back to the Italy Pavillion and poked our heads into

We recently got the family together at Disney World over the Christmas holiday and stopped in at Tutto Italia for dinner our first night. The restaurant is located within the Italy pavilion at World Showcase in EPCOT Center, and replaced the previous sit down restaurant a few years ago. Tutto Italia has a charming

If you’ve read our recent blogs or the Top Ten Red Wines from the 2013 Newport Mansions Wine Festival, then you know we like Casey Flat Ranch wines. We’ve tried the 2009 and 2010 Open Range Reds and Estate Reds. We’ve had the 2011 and 2012 Open Range Sauvignon Blancs and the 2011 Estate White.

Here are a couple of more reds to consider at different price points. I’ll take the suspense out of it and let you know we recommend them both. One is under $10 and the other probably around $20, but they both present good value, although I have to say the $9 wine is probably the

We opened several bottles during this Thanksgiving holiday. When you combine it with the remnants from Italian night we must have had 12-15 wine bottles in our weekly recycling bins. I’m certain the trash pickup people in our town now have the wrong idea about us. We don’t normally drink this much, and certainly not

We had a few friends over this weekend for an Italian themed dinner. Food and wine were in abundance, and a good time was had by all. I won’t spend too much time on the food, but it consisted of a nice antipasti with Parma ham, sopresseta, salami, mozzarella and arrugula; a seafood bouillabaisse (which

We just pulled the last bottle of the 2002 Beringer Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon out of the cellar after a few years of almost pulling the cork. It seemed about time. The occasion was our anniversary, not that we needed a special occasion to drink good wine but why not. I cooked up some beef
