Very recently I had the chance to meet John Geber, proprietor of Chateau Tanunda, on his Grand Barossa yacht tied up in Newport, RI. I had been referred by a friend, and the more I meet and talk with people in the wine making industry the more it strikes me how genuinely passionate and gracious Continue reading A Chat with John Geber from Chateau Tanunda – Great Wine from the Barossa Valley in Australia https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-fontanafredda-in-barolo/ 
Our last winery stop on our recent trip to the Langhe region of Piemonte was a departure from the first two, as we visited a huge cantina with production of seven million bottles annually, more than 35 times the volume of the largest of our other stops. This place is big. It is steeped in Continue reading Visit to Fontanafredda in Barolo https://www.redwineplease.com/traditional-barolo-at-borgogno-in-piemonte/ 
After starting our northern Italian wine adventure in a Barbaresco, we went searching for the other famous Nebbiolo DOCG the next morning, that being of course Barolo. Where Barbaresco is smaller, and the tiny villages are just that, there is actually a town of Barolo. It’s quaint, with a traditional European feel and maybe a Continue reading Traditional Barolo at Borgogno in Piemonte https://www.redwineplease.com/an-excellent-new-england-red-wine-from-saltwater-farm/ 
When you make the rounds of New England wineries you quickly get the message that there will be good white wines, some fruit wines, some hybrids (like Vidal Blanc or St. Croix) some light reds (probably Cab Franc, maybe Merlot) and some more full bodied reds made from grapes or juice that were imported from Continue reading An Excellent New England Red Wine from Saltwater Farm https://www.redwineplease.com/casey-flat-ranch-on-the-shelves-in-ri/ 
We’ve been writing about Casey Flat Ranch wines for almost a year now, ever since we tried their wines at the 2013 Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival. We love pretty much everything they make, and the best part is they are now available in Rhode Island at various locations. This really is great news, Continue reading Casey Flat Ranch on the Shelves in RI! https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-old-north-state-winery-in-mount-airy-nc/ 
*This is a re-post as the original was lost due to a data corruption error. So much to worry about.* For some unexplained reason, Cheri has always wanted to visit Mount Airy on one of our trips to Winston-Salem. It’s the home town of Andy Griffith, and inspired the town in the Andy Griffith Show, Continue reading Visit to Old North State Winery in Mount Airy, NC https://www.redwineplease.com/the-winery-and-wines-of-the-biltmore-estate/ 
Housed in what used to be a thriving dairy barn is a winery which produces just under two million bottles annually of vinifera wines, using estate grapes, North Carolina sourced fruit and West Coast grapes as well. The Winery at the Biltmore Estate is big, efficient, a gracious host and also makes some excellent wine. Continue reading The Winery and Wines of the Biltmore Estate https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-westport-rivers-winery-january-2014/ 
It’s unusual to find a New England Winery that produces all estate wines. There are good reasons for that, as grapes are difficult to grow here, especially red varieties, and there are certainly sources for quality grapes grown elsewhere. Still, it’s nice to find a local winery that has made that commitment to estate grown Continue reading Visit to Westport Rivers Winery, January 2014 https://www.redwineplease.com/repost-an-amazing-tasting-of-gaja-wines-at-gasbarros-on-federal-hill/ Wow! I’m seriously tempted to just leave it at that, because this wine tasting was something special. Where to start? How about world class wines all around, and I do mean world class. Add in an intimate setting inside Gasbarro’s on Federal Hill and it gets better. Finally, toss in a representative from one of Continue reading Repost – An Amazing Tasting of Gaja Wines at Gasbarro’s on Federal Hill https://www.redwineplease.com/1087/
