Over the years of reviewing wines on this site, I’ve featured a lot of wines from Domaine Bousquet. Simply put, I’ve become a fan of theirs for creating high-quality, delicious wines at a great value, while also following world-class sustainability practices. While they consistently release really good wines, the Gran-Cabernet Sauvignon that I’m highlighting in […]

Wine makers and wine connoisseurs often talk about terroir. This is the idea that the place grapes are grown influences the characteristics of wine produced from those grapes. Many factors go into terroir, like daytime and nighttime temperatures, soil composition, rainfall, sunlight, etc. Some would even argue that people are a part of terroir, which […]

One of the best strategies for finding great wine at great prices is to focus on regions that are under the radar. What I mean by that is regions that consistently produce good wine, but for whatever reason most people haven’t heard about it yet. Uruguay is one of those regions that I’ve been talking […]

Gaia is one of the wine brands produced by Domaine Bousquet, a producer I’ve written about extensively here. Pretty much every time I write about Domaine Bousquet, I talk about how they’re doing the right things (in my opinion) when it comes to making wine. And so, I’ll do that again. The name, Gaia, is […]

This Friday, September 6th, is National Chianti Day and that’s as good of an excuse as any to have some Chianti. Although, truth be told, I don’t need an excuse. Chianti Classico is one of my “go to” wines. By that, I mean it’s a style of wine I choose often because it’s consistently pretty […]

Review: Corvezzo, Prosecco DOC Rosé

One of the appealing things about Prosecco is that it’s a sparkling wine that frequently costs less than many other sparklers. Sometimes, however, you find yourself wondering if that lower cost means lower quality. I believe you can find inexpensive Prosecco that offers outstanding quality. The wine I’m highlighting today is one such wine. The […]

When you shop for food and beverages, do you seek out organic products? I do, sometimes but not always. For me, it’s about striking a balance between quality and cost. If cost wasn’t a consideration, I would buy organic much more often. One of the reasons I became a fan of wines from Domaine Bousquet […]

When the summer heat kicks into high gear, many wine lovers want to have lighter, chilled wines, like Prosecco. Many of you probably already know that Prosecco is a sparkling wine from northern Italy, made using the Charmat method. The Charmat method involves putting the wine into pressurized stainless steel tanks during secondary fermentation in […]

Summer is here, which means ’tis the season. No, not the season for crisp, chilled white or rosé wines. Well… I guess that too, but that’s not what I’m writing about today. I’ll get to those soon. What I’m talking about today is it ’tis the season to fire up the grill and make a […]

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Garzón Tannat and highlighted the fact that seeking wines from ‘under the radar’ wine regions can yield exceptional values. However, I neglected to mention the fact that the grape in this wine, Tannat, could also be considered an ‘under the radar’ grape! Tannat is not as obscure as […]
