Good Cabernet Sauvignon is not especially tough to find, however good Cabernet at a reasonable price can sometimes be a challenge. Here we once again get into the endless discussion about what value means to you. Can you comfortably spend $75 and throw a Napa Cabernet on the kitchen counter every night? If so, congratulations.

While we haven’t reviewed a Portuguese wine in several weeks, we have been drinking them. In fact we have a few reviews to catch up on. This is one of them. It represents an excellent bottle of red wine for under $10. Here’s the review: Wine: 2009 Reccua Douro Tinto Winery Location: Douro Continue reading Another Portuguese Red Wine Value from the Douro https://www.redwineplease.com/theres-something-different-going-on-at-shaw-vineyard-in-the-finger-lakes-wine-country/ 
In Himrod, New York, on the western shore of Seneca Lake, Shaw Vineyard sits in the heart of Finger Lakes Wine Country. This area is well known for producing excellent white wines, more suited to the cooler climate of this more northern area. The lakes moderate the temperatures to be sure, but I’ve spent significant Continue reading There’s Something Different Going on at Shaw Vineyard in the Finger Lakes Wine Country https://www.redwineplease.com/a-value-list-well-known-argentinian-malbec/ 
Crios Malbec is a name most red wine drinkers have run across once or twice. Produced by Susana Balbo in Mendoza, Argentina, the wine is inexpensive, usually scores in the 86-88 point range, and represents a pretty typical profile of what Malbec is all about. Generally a pretty safe bet as a good wine for Continue reading A Value List, Well Known, Argentinian Malbec https://www.redwineplease.com/a-tasty-spanna-or-nebbiolo-from-vallana/ 
It’s time to catch up on some wine reviews that have been waiting for a while. This is one we tasted back in September, and is worth telling you about. Nebbiolo takes different names in Northwest Italy. You’re probably familiar with the varieties from Barolo and Barbaresco. Yet right next door are other regions which Continue reading A Tasty Spanna (or Nebbiolo) from Vallana https://www.redwineplease.com/a-look-at-the-wines-of-stellenbosch-south-africa-part-2-the-wines-of-ken-forrester/ 
The more we investigate the Stellenbosch region of South Africa, the more amazed we are at the number of wine producers in the valley. We covered some of the basic history of the region and the wines of Simonsig in an earlier article, which you can read here. There is much to discover, and Continue reading A Look at the Wines of Stellenbosch, South Africa : Part 2 – the Wines of Ken Forrester https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-the-mooring-in-newport-ri-and-an-unexpected-bottle-of-2000-ornellaia/ 
We are in Newport several times a year, and generally we end up at The Mooring if we are looking for something to eat in a classy but casual setting without costing a small fortune. This restaurant has just about everything you could want, with outdoor seating right on the water in nicer weather, a Continue reading Dining Review of The Mooring in Newport , RI – and an Unexpected Bottle of 2000 Ornellaia https://www.redwineplease.com/seamus-wines-an-unfolding-wine-story/ 
Let’s start with a question. What do you get when you mix the following things together? – A father with a career worth of experience in corporate financial operations, negotiation and generally being the most sensible person in the room at any meeting. – A son with a culinary degree from Johnson & Wales University, Continue reading Seamus Wines – An Unfolding Wine Story https://www.redwineplease.com/two-great-value-port-wines-for-christmas-celebrations-or-anytime/ 
We love port wine, always have and always will. While I lean toward older tawnies and well aged vintage ports, there are other options such as Ruby and White Port which are worth considering. Port wine is made in many places, although the quintessential ports are from the Douro Valley in Portugal. You can spend Continue reading Two Great Value Port Wines for Christmas Celebrations (or anytime) https://www.redwineplease.com/a-wine-revelation-i-do-like-touriga-nacional/ 
I remember someone called Sam I Am from my childhood (courtesy of Dr. Seuss), who repeatedly asked another individual if they liked Green Eggs and Ham. That other person declared he did not, and stuck to that story for a very long time before reluctantly trying the odd colored egg and pork dish. In the Continue reading A Wine Revelation: I Do Like Touriga Nacional! |
