With so much to do at the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival you just can’t get to all of it, but we certainly gave it our best this year. One change that helped along those lines was the move of the Saturday and Sunday seminars into the Chinese Tea House, right there on the Continue reading James Bond, Terroir and Salumi – Review of the Seminars at the 2014 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival https://www.redwineplease.com/a-whale-of-a-wine-event-in-new-bedford/ 
This past weekend the Waterfront Historic Area LeaguE (or WHALE) held heir annual Wine Festival and Auction on the State Pier in New Bedford, MA. Generally we would not even have known about this, as we are more in the Providence area, but blogger Fred Thurber sent us the info. A lot of the wines Continue reading A WHALE of a Wine Event in New Bedford https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-of-antinori-tasting-at-gasbarros-october-2014/ 
Here we report on yet another outstanding wine tasting hosted by Mark Gasbarro, of Gasbarro’s Wines on Federal Hill in Providence. This time the wines belong to the Antinori Family. Ten wines were open and pouring, and Marco from Antinori was manning the table with the big guns.

We just returned from the 2014 Greenwich Wine and Food Festival, and overall a good time was had once again. This really is more of a foodie event, with lots of food vendors, celebrity chefs, burger battles and even a food truck corner. There was scotch, bourbon, tequila and lots of beer. There was also Continue reading Review of the 2014 Greenwich Wine and Food Festival https://www.redwineplease.com/top-ten-white-wines-of-the-2014-newport-mansions-wine-and-food-festival/ 
Now it’s time for the top whites. (you can read about the Top Ten Reds here) We’ve been drinking more white wines lately, and due to that fact we’re expanding to a Top Ten list for whites. There were many good ones. A few trends were that Sauvignon Blanc was everywhere, Chardonnay is still everywhere, Continue reading Top Ten White Wines of the 2014 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival https://www.redwineplease.com/top-ten-red-wines-from-the-2014-newport-mansions-wine-and-food-festival/ 
Once again it is time to crown the Top Ten Red Wines from the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival, in this case the 2014 version of this great event. As always there was fierce competition for inclusion, and as always this list represents our favorites and is totally subjective. We consider quality, price, unique Continue reading Top Ten Red Wines from the 2014 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival https://www.redwineplease.com/highlights-of-the-2014-newport-mansions-wine-and-food-festival/ 
We just finished another great weekend in Newport, RI at the 2014 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival. Once again it did not disappoint, and if possible it was even better than last year. There was a definite improvement in the seminar locations, and the wine quality across the board was fabulous.
