Over the past year, one wine region that I’ve fallen in love with is Greece.  Unfortunately, I don’t find many Greek wines on the shelves in my neighborhood, but those that I’ve tasted have been delicious — and this wine from Tsantali is no exception. It’s made from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Muscat of Alexandria. […]

I’ve been writing about a couple wines from Soave lately and here’s another one that pretty good. Like most Soave, this one is made from 100% garganega.  It’s one of the brands from Cantina Di Soave. The thing that really makes this wine stand out is how aromatic it is.  There’s a floral quality on […]

Pinot grigio is one of those wines that some people love and other love to hate.  But it’s also a wine that comes to life in a couple different styles.  So I think wine lovers who think they don’t like pinot grigio may have just not tried the right one yet. I generally like pinot […]

At times it seems silly to me, how “into” wine many of us become. And I’m just as guilty as anyone. We study it, explore it, taste it, analyze it, debate it, praise it, criticize it, discover it, discuss it, write about it, share it, hoard it, celebrate it, and sometimes we just drink it […]
