Italian Wine

I’m a big fan of Italian wines.  If the price of wine were no a consideration I’d be drinking Brunello di Montalcino on a regular basis.  But money is a consideration.  So fortunately, there’s Rosso di Montalcino. Both Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino are made from sangiovese grown in the vineyards surrounding the […]

When I saw the name of this wine, it immediately made me think of Australia.  And it turns out that the name StickyBeak is an Australian wine term.  But StickyBeak wine is not from Australia.  Most wine under this brand comes from California, except for this one which is from the Tuscany region in Italy. The […]

I’m a big fan of sangiovese, but I’m also a little prejudiced with a preference toward Italian sangiovese.  I particularly like sangiovese via Brunello di Montalcino (which usually doesn’t qualify as a “cheap” wine).  I don’t rule out the possibility that other regions can do good things with sangiovese, but Italy has much more experience […]

I’m a big fan of sangiovese, but most of the time if I’m drinking a sangiovese it’s one from Italy.  I just don’t come across a lot of domestic sangiovese, but I’m always curious about it when I do.  Perhaps I don’t come across much of it because the market is just too small for […]

People often ask me, “what’s your favorite wine?”  And that’s an impossible question to answer because I really don’t have a singular favorite.  There are so many options and the differences between them can be so vast that I have different preferences for different occasions.  Now if someone asked me, “what’s your favorite wine to have […]

Before jumping into the next big series, I thought we’d review some odds and ends.  Wines that we’ve received as samples, but are unique enough that we don’t get the quantity needed to do a full series.  Today, we’re checking out a Sangiovese from Dievole. Wine production at Dievole dates back to the 12th century […]

There’s a thing that wine bloggers do called “Wine Blogging Wednesday.”  It’s an event that happens once every month… usually on a Wednesday. The idea is that several wine bloggers all write about the same topic that day.  Then there’s a host, who summarizes the collective thoughts and points you to all the writers for […]
