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 […]

This is another wine from my friends over at NakedWines.com, who have provided a special offer for readers of this site to get 12 bottles of wine for $79.99 (shipping included). That link gets you the deal. As someone who has spent years on a quest for good wine deals, I have to say that this deal […]

One of my favorite parts of being a wine blogger is traveling to explore wine regions around the world. It’s not just traveling to beautiful places or the amazing wines I discover on these trips, but it’s the people I meet and the friends I make on these trips that make it truly special. I […]

Have you had those moments when you go to a restaurant, look at the wine list and realize that you don’t know any of the specific wine brands listed? With thousands and thousands of wines on the market, it’s not that uncommon of an occurrence — even for experienced wine lovers with a fairly broad […]

Admittedly, I haven’t been writing about a lot of red wines lately. But I know many of you are red wine fans. You like those rich, bold, dark, spicy red wines. Well, this one is for you. Sometimes it seems impossible to find a great deal on a big, bold California red wine. And by […]
