Last week, in my review of Santa Ema chardonnay, I had mentioned how cool climate regions tend to produce better chardonnay than other locations.  And tonight I want to highlight another awesome chardonnay from another cool climate region. De Martino Legado Reserva chardonnay is also from Chile, but this wine is from the Limarí Valley—a […]

My quest to find the world’s most interesting and enjoyable wines recently brought me to the Mt. Etna DOC in eastern Sicily, where I discovered some serious awesomeness in their Etna Bianco.  To be honest, I found awesomeness in many of the wines, food, culture, etc., but today I want to focus on Etna Bianco. […]

The Biltmore in North Carolina has been on my list of places to visit for a number of years, but I just haven’t made it there yet—that list is a long one.  But I do want to visit some day to see the architecture, the landscape and taste the wine.  And so, I was glad […]

Not unlike a lot of wine geeks, I’m not a big fan of chardonnay.  Although I try to be impartial with all reviews and judge a wine on how good it is for its style, I’m admittedly a little hard on chardonnay.  I just often find it to be out of balance, clumsy and not […]

It may be September and Summer is winding down, but it’s still hot outside and it’s still a good time to enjoy some light, crisp white wines like Vinho Verde from Portugal.  If you like really, really light white wines this may be a style for you to check out.  We took advantage of the […]

Banfi Centine Bianco

Banfi is a pretty big name in Italian wine and one that you’re likely to come across in many wine shops.  And while I’ve found their wines to be generally good, I typically don’t go for them as I’ve often found them to be priced above what I think they should be.  Of course, that’s […]

Typically, I work a little bit ahead on my wine reviews.  I’ll photograph a wine, taste it and take my notes and then a couple weeks later it will get published to the website.  But sometimes I taste a wine that I’m so excited about that I just can’t wait to get the review published. […]

Good news for those of you who are ready for a change, we’re moving on from riesling tonight and reviewing a sauvignon blanc. New Zealand has a great reputation for creating exciting sauvignon blanc, full of tropical fruit flavors and vibrant acidity.  And Marlborough, where this wine is from, has a particularly strong reputation. The […]

Riesling, riesling, more riesling.  We’ve been doing so many riesling reviews lately that we’re at risk of needing to rename the website to Cheap Riesling Reviews.  And here’s yet another one… but wait, there’s something different about this riesling. Yep, this one comes from Chile—a different country in a different continent versus the other riesling […]

Tonight we have a double-header review, with two different rieslings from Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler.  These two fall slightly above our typical price limit, but it’s always interesting to see how more pricey wines compare to the bargains we typically review.  And with a little hunting, you may find these wines for under $20. The Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler family […]
