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 Continue reading Dining review of Tutto Italia at Walt Disney World https://www.redwineplease.com/sneak-preview-of-casey-flat-ranch-2011-estate-red-and-2012-viognier/ 
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. Continue reading Sneak Preview of Casey Flat Ranch 2011 Estate Red and 2012 Viognier https://www.redwineplease.com/a-couple-of-good-reds/ 
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 Continue reading A Couple of Good Reds https://www.redwineplease.com/thanksgiving-wines-2013/ 
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 Continue reading Thanksgiving Wines 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/the-wines-and-food-from-italian-night/ 
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 Continue reading The wines and food from Italian Night! https://www.redwineplease.com/a-great-2002-beringer-cabernet-and-beef-bourguignon/ 
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 Continue reading A great 2002 Beringer Cabernet and Beef Bourguignon https://www.redwineplease.com/repost-an-amazing-tasting-of-gaja-wines-at-gasbarros-on-federal-hill/ Wow! I’m seriously tempted to just leave it at that, because this wine tasting was something special. Where to start? How about world class wines all around, and I do mean world class. Add in an intimate setting inside Gasbarro’s on Federal Hill and it gets better. Finally, toss in a representative from one of Continue reading Repost – An Amazing Tasting of Gaja Wines at Gasbarro’s on Federal Hill https://www.redwineplease.com/an-italian-red-and-an-italian-white/ 
Time for two more wines to review, and and we’ll stay in Italy for both of these. The red is a Brunello from Tuscany in central Italy. The white is from Campania in southern Italy. We liked both. Here are the notes: Wine: 2011 Beneventano Falanghina Winery Location: Campania, Italy Tasted By: Neil & Continue reading An Italian Red and An Italian White https://www.redwineplease.com/yet-another-excellent-2005-bordeaux-and-a-passable-cab/ 
Time for two more reds to talk about. The foray into the 2005 Bordeaux stock continues and we revisit a usually good and inexpensive staple. I can say it is becoming apparent that the hoopla surrounding the 2005 Bordeaux vintage was justified. Wine: 2011 Smoking Loon Cabernet Winery Location: California Tasted By: Neil & Cheri Continue reading Yet Another Excellent 2005 Bordeaux and a Passable Cab https://www.redwineplease.com/a-great-deal-on-some-great-wines-from-casey-flat-ranch/ 
You probably haven’t heard of Casey Flat Ranch. It’s in the Vaca Mountains, adjoining the Capay Valley, just east of Napa Valley in California. Nestled inside this 6000 acre ranch are about 24 acres of Bordeaux and Rhone varietal grapevines, and these vines provide the source for Casey Flat’s Estate wines. They also source fruit Continue reading A Great Deal on Some Great Wines from Casey Flat Ranch |
