Chile and Argentina share a long border formed from the Continue reading A Look at Chile Through the Wines of Vina Koyle Please follow and like us:
We’re going to be taking a virtual wine tour of France for a while here at Red Wine Please!, and the first installment featured some excellent Vouvrays. For this article we travel just a bit east of Vouvray, still along the river, to the commune of Montrichard.

When I first started to get seriously into wine some twenty years ago, the wines of France were instrumental in igniting the passion. There were several reasons for this.

As we have said before, one of the greatest things that happens in wine is when you find one that costs far below what it should. These happen occasionally, you just have to find them, or stumble across them. We are happy to report on one of those rare bottles here, and this one found Continue reading A Must Buy, Value Cabernet from Chile Please follow and like us:
Finding good Pinot Noir under $20 can be difficult. We’ve highlighted a few recently, and here is another one which is actually likely to run you under $15. This is a good thing when it happens.

We wrote about the boys from Seamus a little over a year ago. We liked their story, we liked their wines and we liked them. They’re doing some great things with quality sourced grapes from the best wine regions in California.

We were looking for something to do that was 1: new for us, 2: lots of fun and 3: relaxing at the same time. That’s not a very easy list of things to satisfy at the same time.
