Finding good Pinot Noir under $20 can be difficult. We’ve highlighted a few recently, and here is another one which is actually likely to run you under $15. This is a good thing when it happens. Let’s take a look: Wine: 2013 Greg Norman Estates Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County Winery Location: From Santa Continue reading Another Good California Pinot Noir – This Time Under $15 https://www.redwineplease.com/review-of-the-latest-releases-from-seamus-wines/ 
We wrote about the boys from Seamus a little over a year ago. We liked their story, we liked their wines and we liked them. They’re doing some great things with quality sourced grapes from the best wine regions in California. This is small lot production including Cabernet Sauvignon from Somoma (along with a Reserve Continue reading Review of the Latest Releases From Seamus Wines https://www.redwineplease.com/tradition-and-innovation-from-mendoza-the-wines-of-valentin-bianchi/ 
It’s time we took a look toward South America on our wine investigations. Over the past twenty years the wines of Argentina and Chile have emerged on the world stage, earning a reputation for value along the way. In this article we’ll focus on the Mendoza province of Argentina, and specifically the wines of Valentin Continue reading Tradition and Innovation from Mendoza – the Wines of Valentin Bianchi https://www.redwineplease.com/very-good-rioja-for-under-20/ 
We are big fans of Rioja, loving the elegance and complexity that the traditional representations bring to the nose and palate. Old style Rioja generally means aromas of subdued red fruit, leather, tobacco and oak. American oak was always used, although recently there has been some movement toward French barrels. A good Rioja can age Continue reading Very Good Rioja for Under $20 https://www.redwineplease.com/a-sense-of-place-the-wines-of-galerie/ 
The more you talk with winemakers, the more you realize how broad the spectrum is of inspirations that drive them, and experiences which mold them. It could be a childhood spent around wine, a chance encounter later in life or an early recognition followed by a fanatical pursuit of a goal. It varies, just as Continue reading A Sense of Place – The Wines of Galerie https://www.redwineplease.com/wine-food-and-general-musings-from-our-holiday-trip-to-universal-studios-and-disney-world/ 
Question: How do you know you did at least some things right when your children were growing up? Answer: They still ask as adults to go to Disney World with you on vacation.

We have always loved Nebbiolo, ever more so since we traveled a bit through Piemonte last year and visited both Barbaresco and Barolo. There’s a reason Barolo has been called the King of Wines. Nebbiolo can be so great, however that generally comes at a price. Finding an excellent Nebbiolo at a reasonable cost is Continue reading A Decent, Lower Priced Barbaresco https://www.redwineplease.com/a-quality-go-to-pinot-noir-under-20/ 
It can be difficult to find good Pinot Noir at bargain prices. Actually we have always found it to be the most difficult of the major varieties. You can get good Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Malbec and so on for under $20. Not so much with Pinot Noir. Low priced options tend to be watery Continue reading A Quality, Go To Pinot Noir under $20 https://www.redwineplease.com/crush-an-eclectic-wine-shop-in-new-bedford-ma/ 
Cheri and I grew up in the New Bedford, MA area, and have seen the city’s downtown go through rebuild and renaissance several times. Most have not had lasting effects, but the downtown area these days has a different feeling. Restaurants and shops along Purchase street and close by seem to be thriving, and there Continue reading Crush – an Eclectic Wine Shop in New Bedford, MA https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-from-thanksgiving-2015/ 
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate family, cook all day, eat all day and of course drink some wine! We managed to do that this year, with only a small gathering. There were only four of us, but no one was driving anywhere so we managed to get into a few different bottles. Here’s what Continue reading Wines From Thanksgiving 2015 |
