Right up front we’ll say that at any wine event we’ll taste probably two to three reds for every white we try. It’s just the way we’re wired and it’s the title of the blog, but whites are very much a part of our wine view and actually are growing to be more so as Continue reading Top Five White Wines from the 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest http://www.redwineplease.com/top-ten-red-wines-from-the-2014-mohegan-sun-winefest/ 
Here’s our Top Ten list for red wine from the recent 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest. I’ll be honest up front and say I wimped out, couldn’t make the hard decision and left in a tie for tenth, so it is really a top eleven. These were evaluated on overall quality, price (and therefore value) and Continue reading Top Ten Red Wines from the 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest http://www.redwineplease.com/summary-of-the-2014-mohegan-sun-winefest/
We just wrapped up the 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest, which is the 11th year for this event, and we have to admit we were pleasantly surprised. We started at the Elite Cru on Saturday afternoon, and then came back for the Grand Tasting on Sunday. There were ups and downs, but way more ups. The Continue reading Summary of the 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest http://www.redwineplease.com/two-older-wines-one-burgundy-and-a-bordeaux/ 
We love to pull older wines out of the cellar. Generally we’ve been rarely disappointed or unpleasantly surprised when opening a ten year old bottle of quality wine. There have been one or two, and then it becomes an academic exercise of noting the flavors and aromas and what time has done to ravage Continue reading Two Older Wines, One Burgundy and a Bordeaux http://www.redwineplease.com/reminder-mohegan-sun-winefest-this-weekend/ The Mohegan Sun Winefest is this weekend, and we’ll be covering part of it (you just can’t do everything!). The Saturday Grand Tasting is sold out, but there are still tickets for Sunday. We’ll report back on the wines and food from the weekend. It sounds like a good time. When we get a moment Continue reading Reminder – Mohegan Sun Winefest this Weekend! http://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-westport-rivers-winery-january-2014/ 
It’s unusual to find a New England Winery that produces all estate wines. There are good reasons for that, as grapes are difficult to grow here, especially red varieties, and there are certainly sources for quality grapes grown elsewhere. Still, it’s nice to find a local winery that has made that commitment to estate grown Continue reading Visit to Westport Rivers Winery, January 2014 http://www.redwineplease.com/wine-labels-france-and-personal-responsibility/ Wine has been an integral, firmly entwined part of civilization for almost as long as there has been civilization. It has been used to make water potable, to drink when potable water was not an option, to help digestion, to celebrate life and to, yes, provide a level of intoxication in some individuals at some Continue reading Wine, Labels, France, and Personal Responsibility http://www.redwineplease.com/a-good-value-ten-year-tawny-and-a-little-about-port-wine/ 
We love port wine, or at least I do. My son has gained an affinity for tawny, while I tend to favor vintage port but still love a good tawny as well. In general I consider port to be one of the great values available in the wine world, considering you can buy a 30 Continue reading A Good Value Ten Year Tawny and a Little About Port Wine http://www.redwineplease.com/italian-wines-and-food-at-tutto-gusto-wine-bar-in-epcot-center/ 
It was Christmas Day, the parks were really crowded and we felt the need for a little refreshment and relaxation. Lunch at the Coral Reef had been good, but after three hours of crowds we felt the need to sit. On a whim we strolled back to the Italy Pavillion and poked our heads into Continue reading Italian Wines and Food at Tutto Gusto Wine Bar in EPCOT Center http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-the-coral-reef-in-epcot-center/ 
Here’s another restaurant review from our recent family trip to Central Florida, this time the Coral Reef located at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center. While not directly connected, the restaurant is in the same building as the Living Seas exhibit, and you need to walk around the right side of the building as you approach Continue reading Dining Review of the Coral Reef in EPCOT Center |
