Here we have two wines from Dark Horse Wines in Modesto, California. We must have seen a bazillion commercials over the past few months with winemaker Beth Liston. The message is all about breaking some rules, changing some things up and making premium wine at modest prices. We certainly applaud their goals. Recently we ran Continue reading Review of Dark Horse 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2015 Sauvignon Blanc https://www.redwineplease.com/georges-duboeuf-family-tradition-and-the-wines-of-2014/ 
Born into wine tradition in the area of Pouilly-Fuissé in the Mâconnais, at the southern tip of Burgundy, Georges Duboeuf has been around wine his whole life. He founded Les Vins Georges Duboeuf in 1964, after he had already been pioneering innovation in the local wine industry for over a decade. The rest, quite literally, Continue reading Georges Duboeuf – Family, Tradition and the Wines of 2014 https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-jonathan-edwards-winery-in-north-stonington-ct/ 
On a hot, but otherwise beautiful, summer day in New England several weeks ago we took a drive out to North Stonington and visited the Jonathan Edwards Winery. It has been several years since our last visit here, and definitely time to catch up on the winery and the wines. We’ve seen them at wine Continue reading Visit to Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington, CT https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-tavolo-in-smithfield-rhode-island/ 
Last week we stopped in at Tavolo Wine Bar & Tuscan Grill in Smithfield, RI. We were armed with a groupon, hungry and thirsty, and completely unaware of what to expect. Surprise can be good and bad. Let’s see which way this one went. The restaurant is in a rather interesting spot with multiple buildings Continue reading Dining Review: Tavolo in Smithfield, Rhode Island https://www.redwineplease.com/does-freezing-affect-wine-lets-see-with-wines-from-smith-madrone/ 
It’s early August, the temperatures are regularly surpassing 90 degrees, and it’s hot out there! Logically we should be writing about which rosé to be drinking and refreshing, chilled summer sippers. To me it seems like the perfect time to talk about something cold, and we have just the thing. Actually we had three things, Continue reading Does Freezing Affect Wine?

Let’s get back to France for a bit here, and continue the series on French wines which has been a theme throughout this year. You can start the series by clicking here. For this article, we’ll stay in Burgundy, but only barely. Just north of Beaujolais, the Maconnais represents the southern border of what is Continue reading Back to France Part 6: The Maconnais and Wines from Maison Matisco https://www.redwineplease.com/exciting-news-from-chateau-tanunda-bordeaux-style-blends-coming-from-new-area/ 
Here’s a recent press release from Chateau Tanunda, a Barossa Valley farm and winery in Australia. We reviewed some of their wines and interviewed John Geber, the proprietor, a while back. (you can read about that by clicking here) John just struck water in the Eden Valley, and this will enable a project that will Continue reading Exciting News from Chateau Tanunda – Bordeaux Style Blends Coming from New Area https://www.redwineplease.com/charles-krug-2013-napa-valley-estate-cabernet-sauvignon-solid-all-around/ 
We were just in Raleigh, North Carolina visiting family, and found ourselves with a free afternoon. Part of that afternoon ended up being spent sitting in the comfy bar at Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse, where we felt in need of red wine. It was 96 degrees outside, but that somehow left us undaunted (air conditioning is Continue reading Charles Krug 2013 Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – Solid All Around https://www.redwineplease.com/rich-full-bodied-red-from-puglia-under-20/ 
Let’s travel to the heel of the Italian boot to find a rich, full bodied red from a non-traditional grape, and one which won’t break the bank. From the Puglia region (or Apulia in Italian), this wine is completely treated in stainless steel, with no oak. The depth is surprising. This is another of the Continue reading Rich, Full Bodied Red from Puglia – Under $20! https://www.redwineplease.com/great-value-red-wine-from-bulgaria/ 
We stop into Crush Fine Wines in New Bedford, MA whenever we’re in the area. Kristian Vasilev, the proprietor, always has something open and lots of unusual things on his shelves. (You can read a bit about the store by clicking here) The open wines tend to be in the sweet spot for good value, Continue reading Great Value Red Wine from Bulgaria! |
