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 […]

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 […]

Review: Pisano, RPF Tannat

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 […]

Domaine Bousquet Cabernet Sauvignon

Inflation. Everyone is talking about inflation. It’s true, many things have gotten more expensive over the past couple of years. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t still deals to be found. Case in point: This Cabernet Sauvignon, made from organic grapes, which has a suggested retail price of a mere $13. Ten years ago, before […]

I’ve been writing about value wines since 2007 and one reliable trick I’ve used over the years for finding wines of exceptional value is to look for wines from under the radar regions. It comes down to simple supply and demand. If you buy wines from the most well-known wine regions, you’re probably going to […]

Review: Gaia Malbec Nouveau

I was intrigued when I first saw the name of this wine, Malbec Nouveau. The “Nouveau” part of the name, I assume, is an homage to Beaujolais Nouveau — which is a French wine released each fall as a first release of wine from that vintage. Nouveau translates to mean “new” in English. In the […]
