French Wine

Over the years I’ve been reviewing wines I’ve found myself taking notice of producers and importers who are consistently good. One of those I’ve been drawn to over the past year or two is Michel Chapoutier. I’ve tried a number of Chapoutier wines and I have yet to find one that isn’t good, much less […]

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. […]

Some wine names come with a bit of cachet, and Barons de Rothschild Lafite is one of those names.  This is thanks to the fact that they have consistently been the producer of one of the world’s most expensive red wines.  A bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite that was thought to have been owned by Thomas Jefferson […]

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 […]

As a guy who is into value wines, I’ve found that there are a few regions you can count on for consistent values.  Chile and Spain are two regions that are on that list, but one that I don’t see enough of is Portugal.  There are some incredible bargains to be found in Portuguese wines, […]
