Far Niente Chardonnay and Paulo Scavino Barolos

Merry Christmas! An occasion as merry and bright as this one calls for wines that are their own presents on the table. There are lots of them. I will offer mine, of course, and I’m sure your local wine store has recommendations that […]

Gruet Champagne

Parties, parties, parties! Such a great time of year to celebrate friends and family and the joy of the season. A wine that brings sparkle and smiles to any and all occasions is, of course, champagne! While true Champagne can only come from […]

Poinsettia Cocktail

I believe in having bottles of bubbly at the ready no matter the season, but at this time of making merry, it’s especially relevant. There are all kinds of fun cocktails you can make with sparkling wine. Here’s one that’s called a Poinsettia […]

Barefoot Pinot Noir

Was it just a week ago we were gathering for Thanksgiving? I hope it was a blessed and happy day for all. If you’re feeling “spent” from the holiday, then Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday and – yes – the reality of […]

Beau Nouveau

It’s that time of year – the Beaujolais Nouveau is here! While this annual release is no longer the novelty it once was, it’s still cause for celebration, and this year’s vintage is tres, tres bon (very, very good). Being in the biz, I got a […]

Tackitt Family Vineyards 2021 Gewurtztraminer

With Veteran’s Day falling on Sunday, November 11 this year, my thoughts for wine turned to wineries started or run by veterans. I couldn’t think of any in the Hudson Valley, off-hand, and a Google search didn’t help. I did find an article from Wine Enthusiast […]

2021 Bogle Family Vineyard’s Old Vine Zinfandel

We’re snuggling into red wine season and I, for one, am quite happy about this. While I’m not a fan of colder, darker days, there’s something liberating about coming home from work in the early evening and changing into pajamas knowing no one but your family will see you until the next day. Pajamas on? […]

Killer Red from Tousey Winery

It’s looking like a beautiful Halloween weekend, and what’s more appropriate for that than the Killer Red from Tousey Winery? Enjoy it and their other great wines handcrafted with love and care at their place in Germantown this weekend. In fact, if it’s not sold out, try to get tickets to their annual “Hallowine” party […]

Four Virtues Bourbon Barrel Zinfandel

More rain this weekend? And it’s dark around 6:30? Seems like perfect conditions for a hearty beef stew, with lots of potatoes and carrots. Dee-lish! A wine to go with it? Snuggle up to Four Virtues Bourbon Barrel Zinfandel. The back label explains what’s behind the name: “A renowned wine writer said the best wines […]

Carpineto Dogajolo Tuscan Blend

Who doesn’t love a landscape of autumn leaves in shades of deep red, yellow, and brown? It’s an awe-inspiring site and, like seeing a rainbow, never loses its magic and magnificence. When I first saw the label for this choice of my wine of the week, I had that same feeling of excitement. A beautiful […]
