Neverstill Chenin Blanc
I received copies of the November issue of Main Street Magazine in the mail the other day, and among the many other great reads, I saw the piece I wrote about Neverstill Wines. It inspired me to open one of the bottles […]
Finca Barbera Time Waits for No One
I finally tried a wine that I harbored a prejudice toward, and I have to confess to becoming a fan. And just in time for the holiday that’s just around the corner, Halloween. The wine is Finca Barbera’s Time Waits for No One. It’s […]
Daou Cabernet
In a wine education class recently, I was able to try two amazing Cabernet Sauvignons from Paso Robles in California. Both are made by wineries that staked their claims to what was possible in Paso way before it became as popular as it is today. They are […]
J. Lohr Los Osos Merlot
Hello, October! For this first weekend of the month, I’m thinking a red wine that’s super-smooth, with big fruit notes and a plump nose, lots to keep me coming back, but not too much to challenge me. I’m thinking a nice Merlot. I’m going for the J Lohr […]
Neverstill Winery
I finally went to the Neverstill Winery tasting room on Warren Street in Hudson this past weekend. Not only are the wines wonderful, the space is gorgeous and the tasting room staff makes the experience personal and engaging. I liked all the wines, from a Cayuga PetNat to variations on Riesling to […]
Cote Mas Cremant De Limoux Brut
I’m a sucker for sparkling wine. It’s celebratory no matter what’s going on. It’s food-friendly no matter what you’re eating.

Mer Soleil Chardonnay
Now that it’s September we’re in a fall state of mind, but it’s looking pretty summery this weekend. Here’s a bottle that will keep the warm summertime vibe […]
Angeline Reserve Pinot Noir
While I enjoy making recommendations of wine (obviously!!), I also really enjoy getting recommendations. This one was shared with me recently, and it’s a winner, so I’m passing it along. It’s the Angeline Reserve Pinot Noir. Pinot is a great wine for warm days and cool nights, as […]
Juggernaut Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc
Summer, summer, summer. I love it! Here are two wonderful wines for a super summery weekend. They’re both from Juggernaut, and not only are they delicious, but they have great labels!! One is a Sauvignon Blanc made from grapes grown in Marlborough, New Zealand, so think crisp, bright, punchy […]
Summer Water Rose
Quick, quick, before it’s over! Summertime, that is. Grab some bottles of Summer Water rose. This is a wine that goes well with everything from simple sandwiches to succulent seafood to mouthwatering meats, corn on the cob, BBQ chips – you get the idea. Described as a rose soaked in […]
