We haven’t reviewed many wines from Australia recently, which is a bit odd considering we used to buy and drink wine from down under quite frequently years ago. There was a variety or two in the Penfolds line that were regulars in our household, and we also went through a period rather heavy in Shiraz.

Scott Family Estates is a family farmed wine producer, that creates Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Dijon clonal selections in the Arroyo Seco appellation in Monterey County. Low yields result in limited production wines which showcase the matching of terroir and varietal fruit. Recently they have added a Sonoma Russian River Pinot Noir, as well Continue reading A Look at Scott Family Estate’s 2014 Offerings https://www.redwineplease.com/back-to-france-part-5-intro-to-burgundy-chablis-and-the-wines-of-domaine-vrignaud/ 
It’s time to continue our look at the great wines of France, or at least some of them, and now we move to one of the greatest and most famous wine making regions in the world – Burgundy. They have been making celebrated wines here for centuries, and many consider this to be the home Continue reading Back to France Part 5 – Intro to Burgundy, Chablis and the Wines of Domaine Vrignaud https://www.redwineplease.com/a-fruity-sauvignon-blanc-from-montes-in-chile/ 
Sauvignon Blanc can be very different depending on where it is from and how it is made. Some are fruity, some are smooth and elegant, some are oaky and smoky. This particular wine is a very young Sauvignon Blanc, straight from the tanks, into the bottles and off to your wine store’s shelves. Montes began Continue reading A Fruity Sauvignon Blanc from Montes in Chile https://www.redwineplease.com/a-delicious-syrah-from-chile-and-vina-la-playa/ 
We’ve reviewed quite a few Chilean wines recently, and overall have been seriously impressed. You can read more about the wines of Chile in one of our earlier articles by clicking here. The country has gained recognition on the international wine scene, but many people are probably unaware of the kind of quality they are Continue reading A Delicious Syrah from Chile and Viña La Playa https://www.redwineplease.com/tasting-swedish-hill-wines-in-saratoga-springs-new-york/ 
These days there are boutique wineries popping up everywhere, microbreweries in every other garage and a general influx of new entries into the wine, beer and spirits industry. It has become a really cool thing to do. So you never know when you’ll run into something new. We were recently in Saratoga Springs, New York Continue reading Tasting Swedish Hill Wines in Saratoga Springs, New York https://www.redwineplease.com/capturing-the-spirit-of-the-mayacamas-mountain-vineyards-with-capture-wines/ 
Mountains have a way of keeping pieces of themselves remote, tucked away from everyday life. In these places the days go by as they always have, sun and rain, hot and cold, soil and rock. The higher places on earth like to look down in solitude. When it comes to wine, vineyards worldwide have reached Continue reading Capturing the Spirit of the Mayacamas Mountain Vineyards with Capture Wines https://www.redwineplease.com/back-to-france-part-4-reds-from-chinon-and-domaine-grosbois/ 
We’ve been looking at some of the producers in the Touraine, along the Lorie River in France. Until now it has been a white party, with Chenin Blanc taking center stage and some excellent Sauvignon Blanc joining in. You can follow links to the previous articles in this series at the bottom of this page.

For the third part of our evolving look into French wine, we travel backwards a tiny bit and find ourselves once again in Vouvray, in the middle of the Touraine. This is Chenin Blanc country, which can take many forms. To get an appreciation for some of the breadth possible with this grape we turn Continue reading Back to France Part 3: Vouvray (Again) and the Wines of Vincent Carême https://www.redwineplease.com/a-look-at-chile-through-the-wines-of-vina-koyle/ 
We recently took an in-depth look at the wines from the Mendoza region of Argentina and Valentin Bianchi (you can read about that by clicking here). That prompted us to look for a producer in the other major wine making country in South America: Chile. Chile and Argentina share a long border formed from the Continue reading A Look at Chile Through the Wines of Vina Koyle |
