If you’re really into wine, you’re likely familiar with the term, “Grand Cru,” as a designation for highly-prized vineyards in France. But are you familiar with the term, “Grosse Lage?” I’m willing to guess, likely not. Grosse Lage is the German equivalent to Grand Cru. It’s a designation given under the German VDP system to […]

Earlier this year, I reviewed a number of wines from the Alentejo region of Portugal and it’s time to check out another one. This wine comes from one of largest wine producers in Portugal, Esporão and is a while blend featuring the Antão Vaz grape variety. One of the neat things about Portugal is the […]

Surprises can be good or can be bad. Either way they tend to create memorable moments. On a recent visit to Orange, New South Wales in Australia, I came across one pleasant surprise after another. Some were absolutely mind blowing surprises, resulting in a slew of memorable moments — right from the moment we landed. […]

One of the things wine lovers love to do is try something new, something different, something unique. It seems like we’re on an endless quest to find the holy grail of wine. We know we’ll never find that one perfect wine, but the journey is really what we’re after. We want to have unique, exclusive […]

Since 2008, the Wine Media Conference (formerly Wine Bloggers Conference) has taken place in different wine regions. Historically, those locations have been in North America but this year they’ve descended upon Hunter Valley Wine Country in New South Wales, Australia. As a part of this conference, wine writers participate in a “live blogging” or “live […]

Today I have yet another wine from my friends at Naked Wines, which is kind of like a wine club but it’s not really a wine club. If you’re interested in understanding what that means (which you should be) read my explanation of it in this review. And regardless of whether you read that overview, […]

Technically, summer may be over but it sure doesn’t feel like it. In the Cincinnati area, where I live, we’ll have temperatures in the 90’s this week for the first few days of October. These conditions demand summer wines, and so it shall be. I’ve reviewed a couple other wines from Domaine Bousquet in the […]

Anyone who is a regular reader of this site knows I’m a riesling fanatic with a particular affinity for German riesling. I often post reviews of riesling from the Mosel, Rheingau, Mittelrhein and Rheinhessen regions. But another good region for riesling I don’t write about as often is the Nahe region. The Nahe region is, […]

As a wine blogger I am constantly asked what my favorite wine is. That’s an impossible question to answer. It’s the equivalent of, “what’s your favorite song?” There are just so many! I suppose the best answer is, “the one that’s in my glass.” I bring that up because as I sat down to write […]

A few weeks back, I did a review of a dry riesling from Nik Weis. Today I’m exploring another Nik Weis riesling from St. Urbans-Hof winery in Mosel, this one is off-dry. Now before your run off saying you don’t like sweet riesling, cool your jets and listen to me for a minute. This is not a […]
