Etna DOC Bianco

It’s my brother’s birthday this weekend, and he’s an Italophile, so I have to go with an Italian wine. Noe e cosi male; in effetti, no puoi sbagliare con il vino italiano! I’m going with an Etna Bianco from the Etna DOC, a region aptly named for its proximity to Mount Etna. […]

French Pool Toy Rose

Things are looking good for a summery weekend. Nothing beats a rose this time of year – it’s a glass of cold, pretty deliciousness. One that has caught my eye and palate lately is French Pool Toy. It’s a classic rose from the south of France made with Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah, so it’s […]

Bleu, blanc, et rouge for Bastille Day

There’s another red, white, and blue celebration coming up, except it’s bleu, blanc, et rouge. Bastille Day! As with the revolution on our shores, it’s a celebration of the French saying “enough” to royalty. It’s on July 14. There are Bastille Day celebrations all over, including French Restaurant Week in NYC through July 20 […]

Bodegas Borsao Garnacha

Welcome summer – officially! And it looks like we may even have sunshine this weekend. To celebrate, how about this super-easy summertime favorite of the Spanish, a tinto de verano, which literally translates to summer red wine. It’s red wine poured over ice and topped with lemon soda and, if […]

Whitecliff Gamay Noir

With the Belmont Stakes at the Saratoga Racetrack on Saturday, it seems fitting to celebrate with a New York wine. I had the opportunity to taste several wines from Whitecliff Vineyard recently. With tasting rooms – and vineyards – in both Gardiner (their home base) and Hudson (just off the […]

Seaglass Pinot Noir

Erath Pinot Noir

It’s Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer. It’s light until after 8 now, and the patio beckons. A wine you’ll always want to have on hand when it’s time for food off the grill is a light and lovely red with bright fruit notes, but plenty of juicy acidity. It’s […]
