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.

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.

They also source fruit Continue reading A Great Deal on Some Great Wines from Casey Flat Ranch https://www.redwineplease.com/a-couple-of-reds-october-2013/ 
Here are two more reds for consideration, although I really only recommend you consider one of them. One is a Columbia Valley Washington Cabernet from The Magnificent Wine Company, the other a Cotes de Castillon from the excellent 2005 Bordeaux vintage. One under performs, the other greatly over performs. The price difference is not anywhere Continue reading Another Excellent 2005 Bordeaux, and Something Else – October 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/1087/

We’ve been so busy covering wine related events recently that’s it’s been a while since our last straightforward wine review. Not that we haven’t reviewed dozens of wines related to the festivals, but here we get back to two bottles we opened at home. These are both modestly priced and bring some good qualities to Continue reading Two Reds Worth Buying – From September 2013 https://www.redwineplease.com/recap-of-the-2013-greenwich-wine-and-food-festival/ 
Cheri and I just attended the Greenwich Wine and Food Festival and have to report that it is a fun day, with excellent food, more wine than we expected and an impressive array of celebrity talent.

Wine and Rosecliff At this point we’ve written about the wines and the seminars, and a little bit about the rest, so it seems like time to summarize the 2013 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival with eyes towards next year’s event.

We do too of course, though we do drink a lot more red. There were some excellent white wines at the recent 2013 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival. Listed below are some of Continue reading The Best White Wines of the 2013 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival |
