I’ll say it again, nothing beats the deals you can get when Bordeaux has a truly great vintage. You don’t buy the big names, but some of the less famous classified growths and the hundreds of unclassified chateaux make fabulous wines for low prices. 2005 represented one of those amazing buying opportunities, which we embraced Continue reading 2005 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac: Another Great 2005 Bordeaux Drinking Beautifully https://www.redwineplease.com/great-value-merlot-around-10/ 
When it comes to everyday wine, meaning the bottle you have open on your kitchen counter or in the fridge, there is nothing better than finding a wine which significantly over delivers in quality when compared to price. The definition of value is perceived benefit divided by cost, and this wine really shines. If you Continue reading Great Value Merlot Around $10 https://www.redwineplease.com/forty-years-of-robert-mondavi-reserve-cabernet-sauvignon/ 
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 https://www.redwineplease.com/the-top-ten-white-wines-from-the-2016-newport-wine-food-festival/ 
We’ve already talked about the top red wines from the recent Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival, and now it’s time for the whites. 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 https://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 https://www.redwineplease.com/the-wines-of-pascual-toso-from-mendoza-argentina/ 
Barrancas Vineyards Mendoza, Argentina has become one of the more recognizable wine regions in the New World order, which in a general sense means anything outside of France, Italy, Spain and Napa/Sonoma. These “new” wine making regions have emerged over time, and include Australia, Chile, New Zealand and South Africa, to name only Continue reading The Wines of Pascual Toso from Mendoza, Argentina https://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. Continue reading Another Great Weekend of Wine and Food at the Newport Mansions https://www.redwineplease.com/more-accolades-for-seamus-wines/ 
We’re big fans of Seamus wines, and have been for several years. There are lots of reasons, first and foremost being that they make great wines. Their 2012 Atwood Ranch Reserve Cabernet is one of the best wines we’ve ever had, anywhere, anytime. You can’t get it just yet, as they haven’t officially released, but Continue reading More Accolades for Seamus Wines https://www.redwineplease.com/a-great-value-in-2012-bordeaux-chateau-lestage-from-montagne-saint-emilion/ 
We’ve said it many times before, one of our favorite things to do is buy Bordeaux from great vintages. We buy the lesser heralded Chateaux, and most are not included in the ranks from the Classification of 1855, which grouped the wine producers of Bordeaux into ordered tiers of quality (you can read more about Continue reading A Great Value in 2012 Bordeaux: Chateau Lestage from Montagne Saint-Émilion |
