We just attended the 2017 Mohegan Sun Wine & Food Fest, at least the Saturday Grand Tasting portion of it.

This event is different Continue reading Some Wines to Buy from the Mohegan Sun Wine & Food Fest http://www.redwineplease.com/furmint-day-wednesday-february-1st/ 
What could be better than Furmint Day? Wait, what’s that? What is Furmint? Ahhhh, good question. Furmint is a white grape indigenous to Hungary. It has traditionally been one of the two primary grapes in Tokaji (which used to be known as Tokay, sometimes Royal Tokay). Typically this is a sweet dessert wine, anywhere from Continue reading Furmint Day!!!! – Wednesday, February 1st http://www.redwineplease.com/mohegan-sun-wine-food-fest-this-weekend/

Although Christmas is not yet here, it’s time to look forward a little bit to the Mohegan Sun wine and food event, held in January at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. This year the name gets a slight tweak, and it is now the Sun Wine & Food Fest, giving a bit more Continue reading Preview – 2017 Sun Wine & Food Fest at Mohegan Sun – Jan 27-29 http://www.redwineplease.com/new-britain-museum-of-american-art-the-art-of-wine-food/ 
We recently were fortunate enough to attend the Art of Wine & Food fund raising event at the New Britain Museum of American Art, held this past October in New Britain, CT. When I say we I mean myself and our son Alex, who stopped in on his way home from work.

A great way to spend an hour or two at Wine & Food festivals are the seminars, which most large wine events hold in conjunction with the Grand Tastings. These seminars give you the opportunity to dive a bit deeper into any number of topics, from specific wineries, certain varietals, foods from a region or Continue reading Forty Years of Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon http://www.redwineplease.com/the-top-ten-white-wines-from-the-2016-newport-wine-food-festival/

There were many excellent white wines, as usual, but only ten make the list. This is always difficult, and a number of factors are considered when making the selection. We also Continue reading The Top Ten White Wines from the 2016 Newport Wine & Food Festival http://www.redwineplease.com/top-ten-red-wines-from-the-2016-newport-mansions-wine-food-festival/ 
Late September always means the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival takes center stage, and we indulge in several days of great wine and food in fantastic settings. Every year we put out our top wine lists, and every year it is difficult to decide between the great variety of wines from around the world.

Mark Gasbarro hosted yet another blockbuster tasting this past Monday at Gasbarros Fine Wines, on Atwells Avenue in Providence, RI. Riccardo Sgarra, Brand Ambassador for Paolo Scavino presented nine wines, including five different Barolos. Surprisingly it was lightly attended. This was great for me, but very confusing. Where else can you walk in and sample Continue reading Paolo Scavino Tasting at Gasbarros in Providence, RI http://www.redwineplease.com/another-great-weekend-of-wine-and-food-at-the-newport-mansions/ 
This past weekend brought picture perfect weather to New England, and a grateful recipient of that was the 2016 Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival. Over the course of four days people were treated to some pretty spectacular wines, some creative and delicious food, excellent seminars, cooking demos, grilling demos, more wine and spectacular views.
