There are mountain vineyards, and then there are mountain vineyards. High atop Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley, breathtaking views evoke a quiet rapture, an appreciation requiring no further explanation or comment. Mt. Veeder speaks for itself. While visiting in person surely would be the best way to appreciate this land, pictures will have to do Continue reading Extreme Winemaking at Mt. Brave in Napa Valley https://www.redwineplease.com/unexpectedly-good-wines-in-hershey-pennsylvania-cullari-vineyards-and-winery/ 
Good wine pops up in the most unexpected places sometimes. Take central Pennsylvania for example. This is not exactly a hotbed of wine production, but like most every place in the country these days there are wineries about. We were meeting the kids at Hershey Park for a mini vacation recently, and since we Continue reading Unexpectedly Good Wines in Hershey, Pennsylvania – Cullari Vineyards and Winery https://www.redwineplease.com/caymus-tasting-at-gasbarros-this-thursday-june-11th/ 
This Thursday, June 11, Mark Gasbarro is hosting another excellent, and free, wine tasting. Caymus comes to town with a great lineup of wines. The time is 6:00 to 8:00 at Gasbarro’s Wines on Federal Hill in Providence, RI. Here are the wines and their descriptions from Caymus.

Generally if we’re in a new area and there is a winery about, we are going to find it. When you’re in the Raleigh – Durham area there are a lot of wineries about, so we picked one close to our other excursions and stopped in to try the wines. This turned out to be Continue reading Repost – Review of Chatham Hill Winery in Cary, North Carolina https://www.redwineplease.com/new-wines-at-pail-shop-vineyards-theres-more-than-baseball-in-cooperstown/ 
We were in Cooperstown, New York over the weekend, visiting Alex at school for Easter, and used a few leisure hours to visit some of the local wineries. One, Rustic Ridge, we had been to before and the reviews this time were similar. The other however was brand new, and we got a chance to Continue reading New Wines at Pail Shop Vineyards – There’s More Than Baseball in Cooperstown https://www.redwineplease.com/part-6-of-the-stellenbosch-series-the-wines-of-demorgenzon/ 
This is the sixth, and sadly last for the near future, installment in our series on the wines of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Here we’ll take a look at something a bit different, and by that we mean a place which is part winery, part botanical garden, part philanthropic institution and likely a sublimely therapeutic estate. Continue reading Part 6 of the Stellenbosch Series: The Wines of DeMorgenzon https://www.redwineplease.com/part-5-of-the-stellenbosch-series-a-french-adventure-on-african-soil-glenelly-estate/ 
For our fifth installment in the series on Stellenbosch, South Africa, we move back to the southern slopes of Simonsberg Mountain and the wines of Glenelly. This farm is actually very close to another we previously highlighted, Thelema Mountain Vineyards. (you can read about that here). Glenelly is one of the farms that spurred our Continue reading Part 5 of the Stellenbosch Series: A French Adventure on African Soil: Glenelly Estate https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-truro-vineyards-of-cape-cod/ 
As we’ve mentioned, we happened to be on Cape Cod during the recent blizzard, and what fits in better with snow and ice than a trip to a local vineyard? While there may be several better answers, in this case we were there, one of the owners graciously offered to show us around, and Truro Continue reading Visit to Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod https://www.redwineplease.com/a-look-at-the-wine-of-stellenbosch-south-africa-part-4-raats-family-wines/ 
For our fourth Stellenbosch, South Africa review we’ll move somewhat west to Raats Family Wines, where Bruwer Raats presides over an apparently fanatical approach to making the absolutely best Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc that South Africa, or the world for that matter, can produce. They specialize in those two grapes, although they do make Continue reading A Look at the Wine of Stellenbosch, South Africa: Part 4 – Raats Family Wines https://www.redwineplease.com/a-look-at-the-wine-of-stellenbosch-south-africa-part-3-the-wines-of-thelema-mountain-vineyards/ 
For our third Stellenbosch, South Africa article we’ll move to the southern slopes of the Simonsberg mountain, and the higher altitude vineyards at Thelema Mountain Vineyards. As you can see above, this is another rather spectacular property. Thelema’s location on the Stellenbosch map is shown below. You can visit Thelema’a website here. Much of Continue reading A Look at the Wine of Stellenbosch, South Africa: Part 3 – The Wines of Thelema Mountain Vineyards |
