Here we’ll review one of our 2010 Bordeaux bottles, in this case a Medoc wine with a fairly modest price tag. The wine is another great example of what we always say, buy lower priced Chateaux in great Bordeaux vintages – that’s where the great values lie. As further proof we offer the following: Wine: Continue reading An Excellent Value in 2010 Bordeaux https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-diamond-hill-vineyards-in-cumberland-ri/ 
Something we generally do at least once every year, and preferably more than that, is take the short drive up Route 295 to visit Diamond Hill Vineyards. As we have previously reported, Diamond Hill is one of our favorite New England wineries. There are a few reasons for that, including the fact that they still Continue reading Visit to Diamond Hill Vineyards in Cumberland, RI https://www.redwineplease.com/library-wine-2007-mt-veeder-reserve/ 
Since it was our anniversary this past week we pulled a library wine out of one of the wine fridges and splurged a bit. The wine was the 2007 Mt. Veeder Reserve from Napa. This wine is a pretty typical Bordeaux blend, although there is no Cabernet Franc to be found. It’s a blend of Continue reading Library Wine – 2007 Mt. Veeder Reserve https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-leyden-farm-vineyards-and-winery-november-2015/ 
We recently stopped by another of our local New England wineries, this time Leyden Farm in West Greenwich, RI. Leyden Farm is a relatively new winery, only being open for business for the past three or four years.

Mark Gasbarro just hosted a wine tasting featuring the wines of Marchesi de’Frescobaldi. If you haven’t been to one of Mark’s tastings get out and try one.

On my way to Slovenia for a visit to the Vinska Klet Goriska Brda winery, I had a stopover in Philadelphia before flying to Venice. In this case it was a long layover, and usually that means a drink and something to eat. True to form I ended up at Vino Volo right in the Continue reading Dining and Wine Review: Vino Volo at Philadelphia Airport https://www.redwineplease.com/wines-of-marchesi-de-frescobaldi-tasting-thursday-october-29th-at-gasbarros-on-federal-hill/
