Again with the book, 1001 Wines You Must Taste Before You Die (Gen. Ed. Neil Beckett). Inside there are not just images of famous art and wine labels, but also some of wine fermenting. I think this might be the one which changes my daughter’s mind about wine. Right now she has a fascination with [...]
Spain, Italy and France are well known for their wines, yet Greece is right there in the Mediterranean with them making wine too. Why are they not so well known? I don’t have the answer to that yet: perhaps because the country is so small. And now that the whole island is up for sale [...]
If you really like living history and re-enacted historical events, perhaps a reading of the Declaration of Independance, you may already have made plans to visit Colonial Williamsburg this 4th of July. Did you know that there is also a winery just south of this popular and patriotic venue? Okay, maybe you did, but I [...]

I may have mentioned a prejudice against chardonnay before. Perhaps this stems from the fact that it is such a ubiquitous offering at dinner parties and on wine lists, becoming almost synonymous in restaurants with ‘white wine’, the way chablis once did. Still, thinking that popularity meant great wine I tried. And I tried. With one exception [...]

I got an exciting e-mail today from Wild Goose Wineries in Okanaga Falls, BC. Nothing personal, just an e-newsletter telling me their 2009 wines were ready for purchase. Still, good news for wine lovers looking to stock up their wine racks for the summer.
Their list includes three types of Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and more. Wild Goose has also earned [...]

I was excited to get the package slip in my mail box the other day and even happier to discover that my friend in California had sent me a new addition for my wine rack. The label on this California white is the image of a vintage bottle green truck. I’ve seen it on the [...]

So I was browsing the shelves of the virtual wine shop looking to stock up the wine rack with another assortment of yummy flavors when I came across a white Burgundy.
White Burgundy? Isn’t Burgundy supposed to be red?
I had stumbled across yet another hole in my Swiss cheese wine education and had to start researching [...]

As I searched for new additions for my wine rack I came across a new wine term. “Off odors” are apparently a “wine fault.” Well I know about wine being corked and all that jazz but not too sure about what can cause bad odors in wine. So yes, I did a little research.
Sometimes bad [...]

I was lucky enough to receive a number of wonderful gifts from my darling husband and 15 month old son this past Mother’s Day including a selection of red wine. Once again the wonderful delight that is Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is gracing my wine rack. Although I have reviewed the particular bottle in the [...]

I love salad in the spring and summer. We go to local markets to pick up vegetables straight from farms within half an hour of our house, and even go so far as to grow a bit of green stuff in our own garden. Since I am not a big fan of processed food and [...]
