I recently had a chance to talk with Nova Perrill, the winemaker at Foppiano Vineyards in Sonoma Valley. Foppiano has been continuously operating for 125 years, owned and managed by the same family. It all began when Giovanni Foppiano bought Riverside Farms in 1896, and continued to make bulk wine right up to Prohibition in

It’s not Napa or Sonoma, or even Paso Robles, at least in terms of reputation and recognition. The Temecula Valley is, however, a wine making region that wine lovers should know about. I had the chance to spend a day in the valley last year, and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the wines.

We love finding wines that we feel comfortable putting on our Value List (which you can see by clicking here). These are wines we feel everyone will be happy with, as they over deliver quality at their respective price points. Most wines don’t end up on this list, and even fewer end up in the

Mind blowing wines from Canard
It was a spectacular weekend in Newport this year at the 2019 Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival. We always publish a Top Ten list for both the red and white wines each year. This time around we have a serious problem however, as there were simply

The last weekend of summer was glorious in Newport, RI, with warm sunshine, cool breezes off the ocean, and as much great wine and food as anyone can realistically handle in four days. This was the 2019 Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival, and it was, as usual, spectacular. If anything the wine was even

We introduced my short trip to the Finger Lakes region in an earlier article (you can read that here), and have already talked about other wineries in detail, those being Prejean Winery and Shaw Vineyard (read about them here and here). In this article, we’ll cover another standout vineyard and winery on the shores of

My last stop on the recent, and far too short, trip to the Finger Lakes was to Shaw Vineyards. This is the domain of winemaker Steve Shaw, a person who is passionate about their craft and a student of winemaking around the world. Dedicated to the land and sustaining it, he crafts dry, vinifera

As you drive south down the west side of Seneca Lake, in the Finger Lakes, you’ll see the sign for Prejean Winery on your right. A this point, if you started at the top of the lake, you’ve gone past 7 or 8 wineries already. How do you know which ones are worth stopping

For years we have been planning to visit the Finger Lakes, and do some wine country touring. It just hasn’t happened for one reason or another. Recently, I found myself in the middle of the region, on Seneca Lake, for other business. As luck would have it, I ended up with a free afternoon, and

A recent stop on our continuing journey to explore North Carolina wineries brought us to Siler City, a rural town about 30 minutes west of Raleigh. You turn up a quiet road and wind your way to a brand new building on the right, the home of Fireclay Cellars. Vineyards take up the land in
