De Martino Legado Reserva Chardonnay

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 […]

Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi – Extra Dry Sparkling Wine

Some folks I know are biased against Robert Mondavi wines. I assume that’s due to the fact that many of their wines are produced in bulk and can be found anywhere, in other words they are “supermarket brands.” In some cases this is an unfair accusation. Robert Mondavi actually produces a wide range of wines […]

Santa Carolina Pinot Noir – Casablanca Estate Reserva

Five years ago, when I launched this site, I wasn’t sold on Chilean pinot noir. They had produced a couple decent ones, but for the most part it was lacking. But my how things have changed. In the last 10-15 years the quality of wines coming from Chile has increased significantly and while pinot noir […]

Reginato Sparkling Rosé of Malbec

A few weeks ago I reviewed the Reginato Sparkling Torrontés Chardonnay, which was just outstanding. So I was excited to check out another sparkler from them, the Reginato Sparkling Rosé of Malbec. Like much of the malbec you see on the shelves these days, this one is from Mendoza, Argentina. But it’s a lot lighter in […]

We’re going slightly over our typical price limit today, but I have a good excuse. We’re checking out a new wine from Spelletich Family Wine Company, one of my favorite small producers. I’ve just come across them this year and previously reviewed their SPELLwine Sangiovese, Severed Head Red, Spelonu Red and SPELLwine Syrah, all of […]

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 […]

Vasari Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from Fratelli Barba

If you took a peek into my wine cellar you’d quickly figure out that I have a thing for Italian red wine. Yes, I like plenty of wines from other regions too but the red wines that have the balance and style that I prefer are often Italian. The bad part of that, however, is […]
