This event is different Continue reading Some Wines to Buy from the Mohegan Sun Wine & Food Fest https://www.redwineplease.com/furmint-day-wednesday-february-1st/ 
What could be better than Furmint Day? Wait, what’s that? What is Furmint? Ahhhh, good question. Furmint is a white grape indigenous to Hungary. It has traditionally been one of the two primary grapes in Tokaji (which used to be known as Tokay, sometimes Royal Tokay). Typically this is a sweet dessert wine, anywhere from Continue reading Furmint Day!!!! – Wednesday, February 1st https://www.redwineplease.com/mohegan-sun-wine-food-fest-this-weekend/

We recently were fortunate enough to attend the Art of Wine & Food fund raising event at the New Britain Museum of American Art, held this past October in New Britain, CT.

A great way to spend an hour or two at Wine & Food festivals are the seminars, which most large wine events hold in conjunction with the Grand Tastings. These seminars give you the opportunity to dive a bit deeper into any number of topics, from specific wineries, certain varietals, foods from a region or Continue reading Forty Years of Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon https://www.redwineplease.com/the-top-ten-white-wines-from-the-2016-newport-wine-food-festival/

We also Continue reading The Top Ten White Wines from the 2016 Newport Wine & Food Festival https://www.redwineplease.com/top-ten-red-wines-from-the-2016-newport-mansions-wine-food-festival/

Mark Gasbarro hosted yet another blockbuster tasting this past Monday at Gasbarros Fine Wines, on Atwells Avenue in Providence, RI. Riccardo Sgarra, Brand Ambassador for Paolo Scavino presented nine wines, including five different Barolos. Surprisingly it was lightly attended. This was great for me, but very confusing. Where else can you walk in and sample Continue reading Paolo Scavino Tasting at Gasbarros in Providence, RI https://www.redwineplease.com/another-great-weekend-of-wine-and-food-at-the-newport-mansions/ 
This past weekend brought picture perfect weather to New England, and a grateful recipient of that was the 2016 Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival. Over the course of four days people were treated to some pretty spectacular wines, some creative and delicious food, excellent seminars, cooking demos, grilling demos, more wine and spectacular views.
