This past Thursday Mark Gasbarro hosted his Taste for a Cause wine tasting, once again raising money for the Program in Women’s Oncology at Women & Infants Hospital.

At an event as big as the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival you can’t see and try everything in one Grand Tasting afternoon.

So what do you Continue reading Wines to Look For at the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival https://www.redwineplease.com/preview-of-the-greenwich-wine-and-food-festival-sept-23-26/ 
September is fast approaching, and that means wine and food festivals. We’ve been previewing the Newport Mansions event, but let’s not forget about the Greenwich Wine and Food Festival, which happens in Greenwich, CT in late September. This is really more of a food event than a wine one, but there are plenty of wines Continue reading Preview of the Greenwich Wine and Food festival, Sept 23-26 https://www.redwineplease.com/2015-newport-mansions-wine-and-food-festival-seminar-preview/ 
The tenth anniversary edition of the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival kicks off this September 25th, and first out of the gate are the seminars. You’ll notice a change this year, as they will only be holding seminars on Friday afternoon at the Viking Hotel.

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/

Summer is almost here, and that means lot’s of good things are almost here as well. We enjoy our summers, but also have to admit that we occasionally look past the lazy, hazy days and set our sights on late September, and the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival. It has long been one of Continue reading Repost – First Preview for the 2015 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival 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 |
