Wine Sharing

Wines are interesting in so many ways.

One of them is in being shared. One of the nicest ways to share wine is to go to a local winery with friends.

That’s exactly what we did last weekend, and I highly recommend it for any weekend.

We went to Sabba […]

When the temps go up and down and your plans get turned around, there’s one thing you can count on for this time of year – a light-bodied, just fruity enough dry red that can be served at room temp or chilled.

That’s a Pinot Noir.

Hot and Sticky

It’s officially summer – hooray!

Sunshine and heat are returning to the area, the days are long, it’s a great time of year.

This week’s wine selection pairs perfectly with late nights on the patio or by the campfire looking up at the stars. It’s a locally made dessert wine that is pure pleasure. […]

Memorial Day and Getting Outside

After some August-like temps, it looks like Mother Nature’s bringing us back around to early May weather for the weekend that officially kicks off summer.

But who cares??

What a difference a year makes. Get-togethers are BACK, and that is cause […]

Wine for a Balmy May

For this lovely stretch of August in May that we’re having, nothing hits the spot like a bright, lively, and very cold white wine.

If you’re having barbeque – and I hope you are! – have some fun with a fruity and light moscato.

The sweetness […]

Wine for the In-Between

We’re in that delicious in-between period, where it can feel like summer one minute and early spring the next.

It’s the perfect time for a wine that’s not too light and not too heavy.

In other words, a Pinot Noir. And not just any Pinot Noir. A Hudson Valley Pinot Noir, because the climate here yields a […]

Pink Moon Wine of the Week

Was that a gorgeous moon on Monday night or what?

In fact, it was a Super Pink Moon (super moons appear larger in the sky than normal, and this one did not disappoint). It’s called a pink moon after the moss pink wildflower that blooms this time of year in the Northeast.

What better to celebrate a […]

Let’s Take a Trip

Wouldn’t it be nice to be somewhere else?

Somewhere on the other side of the world, perhaps, where it’s summer turning into fall instead of spring turning into summer.

How about Argentina?

What a beautiful country, bookmarked by the Andes and the Atlantic. If we can’t be there in body, […]

Back to Bordeaux

Last weekend called for a spring fling wine, white and wet and cold.

This weekend, however, we’re back to hibernating, and that’s ok. Let’s pop a Bordeaux and indulge.

You can’t go wrong with a red from this region in France, world-renowned for quality. It’s where the new Musee du Vin is located, too. You can visit […]

Bright White Wines

Sunshine and summery temps call for crisp, bright white wines, preferably enjoyed outside while soaking up all of the above.

A recommendation for the weekend?

Go to a local winery and indulge in a bottle of something you might never have tried before.

At Milea Estate Vineyard in lovely Staatsburg, NY, you can try the 2019 Traminette, a […]
