Quite often I recommend Côtes du Rhône as a good region to find red wines of outstanding value, however it is also a great region for finding tasty white wines that won’t break the bank. And here we have an example of that. The Samorëns white wine, from Ferraton Père & Fils, is made from 60% grenache […]

I recently wrote about a visit I made to Maryhill Winery in Washington State and since then I’ve had the opportunity to taste yet another one of their wines — their Classic series viognier. And oh what a viognier it is. For those not familiar with viognier, it is a white wine variety that tends […]

For years I’ve been a big fan of wines from the Côtes Du Rhône region and the sub-appellations within, but Plan de Dieu is an appellation I don’t encounter very often. And it could be one you’ve never even heard of. For a region with centuries of wine making history, Plan de Dieu is a […]

When you see a bottle of wine on a shelf, you often don’t know the full story behind the wine. Many consumers find themselves deciding whether or not to buy a wine simply based on the label. But sometimes there’s a lot more behind the label you wouldn’t know unless you looked into it. Such […]

Here’s a wine that offers something rather unique. Sure you’ve had pinot noir, but have you had a white pinot noir? Sure you’ve had a blanc de noir, but have you ever had a still blanc de noir? For those new to the terminology, “blanc de noir” translates literally to mean “white of black.” It’s […]

If you’re a regular consumer of wines from Washington State it’s likely you’re quite familiar with Maryhill Winery. Although it’s still a relatively young winery, having first opened its doors in 2001, it’s quickly grown to establish itself as a standout producer in the state. Based in Goldendale, Washington, about two hours east of Portland, […]

It’s time to check in on a new vintage of a wine that is on my list reliably-good, bargain favorites. The Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Blanc Côtes du Roussillon from Michel Chapoutier. It’s been a few years since I reviewed this wine, the last vintage I reviewed was the 2014 and they’re up to the 2017 […]

A few weeks ago, at the 2018 Wine Bloggers Conference, I had a chance to taste some wines from Lugana DOC, a wine region in northern Italy. It’s not the first time I’ve tasted wines from Lugana, and hopefully it won’t be the last. I can say with absolute certainty that every wine I’ve tried […]

Every year I try to travel to one or two wine regions I haven’t previously visited and this year I had the opportunity to go to wine country in Washington state to seek out some new wines. This brought me to the Red Mountain AVA, where the Red Mountain Alliance showed me and some fellow […]
