Review: Marqués de Cáceres, Rosé

Lately, spring is springing up more and more each day. That means rosé season is upon us. Imagine yourself sitting outside on a sunny, 70 degree day, relaxing with a slightly chilled glass of rosé and listening to the birds chirp. Now that’s my kind of spring day! I’m kicking off the season with a […]

The last couple reviews I posted, here and here, were of alicante bouschet wines from the Alentejo region of Portugal. I have one more of these wines to share with you all, and this is the best one yet! Herdade de São Miguel is based in Redondo, which is pretty much in the center of […]

Last week I posted my first ever review of an alicante bouschet, and it’s already time to post a second. This one comes from Herdade dos Grous, located in the Lower Alentejo, in Albernôa. They are not only a wine producer but they also have olive groves, vegetable crops, horse breeding and more on their […]

I’ve long been a fan of Portuguese wine. In my opinion, it’s one of the best regions for finding exceptional quality for reasonable prices. Unfortunately, I don’t see very much Portuguese wine in the wine shops where I live, Cincinnati, but when I do see it I scoop it up! This week I have the […]

If you’ve ever been to a major city in Italy the label of this wine may look familiar. You don’t have to go far to find some graffiti. I have mixed feelings about it. Sometimes I see it and say, “Ugh, why do people have to put graffiti everywhere?” But sometimes I come across some […]

Review: Wittmann, 100 Hills, Pinot Blanc

I’ve commented before about how mind blowing it is to me when I come across a European vineyard that has been in the same family for hundreds of years and this is another one of those stories. The wine estate of Weingut Wittmann has been operated by the Wittmann family since 1663. That’s over 350 […]

Do you like malbec with a new world style or an old world style? If you’re a new world kind of malbec drinker and want to find a wine with big flavors at a bargain price, this is one to check out. Like much new world malbec, this one comes from the Mendoza region of […]

Ferraton Père & Fils, Samorëns White Wine

Quite often I recommend Côtes du Rhône as a good region to find red wines of outstanding value, however it is also a great region for finding tasty white wines that won’t break the bank. And here we have an example of that. The Samorëns white wine, from Ferraton Père & Fils, is made from 60% grenache […]

Maryhill Winery, Classic Viognier

I recently wrote about a visit I made to Maryhill Winery in Washington State and since then I’ve had the opportunity to taste yet another one of their wines — their Classic series viognier. And oh what a viognier it is. For those not familiar with viognier, it is a white wine variety that tends […]

Ferraton Père & Fils, Côtes-Du-Rhône Villages, Plan de Dieu

For years I’ve been a big fan of wines from the Côtes Du Rhône region and the sub-appellations within, but Plan de Dieu is an appellation I don’t encounter very often. And it could be one you’ve never even heard of. For a region with centuries of wine making history, Plan de Dieu is a […]
