A Nice Fiano and a Middle of the Road Sauvignon Blanc

We’ve been so busy with other things that the reviews of wines we tried over the last eight months have been building up. Here are two of them, both whites. One is from Campania, Italy, and the other a Napa Valley offering. Our notes follow:

Wine: 2010 Fiano di Avellino by Azienda Agraria San Paolo

Trader Joe’s Two (or Three) Buck Chuck and Musings About Wine Values: Are More Expensive Wines Better or Worth the Money?

The debate about what constitutes wine value will go on forever, and since it is always dependent on your own personal tastes and budget there will always be unlimited opinions. Our own perspectives have changed over time, fluctuating with our individual tastes and income, but never really getting too far afield from their early roots.

Part 6 of the Stellenbosch Series: The Wines of DeMorgenzon

This is the sixth, and sadly last for the near future, installment in our series on the wines of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Here we’ll take a look at something a bit different, and by that we mean a place which is part winery, part botanical garden, part philanthropic institution and likely a sublimely therapeutic estate.

Some Wines to Look For from Red, White and Brew

This past Saturday, Red, White and Brew was held in Providence, RI to raise funds for Trinity Repertory Company. Wine, beer, bourbon and food provided the backdrop.

Review of The Captain’s House Inn in Chatham, on Cape Cod

Since spending our honeymoon on Cape Cod more than thirty years ago we have revisited the Cape many, many times. That joyous event was, unfortunately, a very short one night stay, but we have continuously improved on it over the years. Of the many inns we have stayed at, we have gravitated to one as
