Right up front we’ll say that at any wine event we’ll taste probably two to three reds for every white we try. It’s just the way we’re wired and it’s the title of the blog, but whites are very much a part of our wine view and actually are growing to be more so as Continue reading Top Five White Wines from the 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest https://www.redwineplease.com/top-ten-red-wines-from-the-2014-mohegan-sun-winefest/ 
Here’s our Top Ten list for red wine from the recent 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest. I’ll be honest up front and say I wimped out, couldn’t make the hard decision and left in a tie for tenth, so it is really a top eleven. These were evaluated on overall quality, price (and therefore value) and Continue reading Top Ten Red Wines from the 2014 Mohegan Sun Winefest https://www.redwineplease.com/two-older-wines-one-burgundy-and-a-bordeaux/ 
We love to pull older wines out of the cellar. Generally we’ve been rarely disappointed or unpleasantly surprised when opening a ten year old bottle of quality wine. There have been one or two, and then it becomes an academic exercise of noting the flavors and aromas and what time has done to ravage Continue reading Two Older Wines, One Burgundy and a Bordeaux https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-westport-rivers-winery-january-2014/ 
It’s unusual to find a New England Winery that produces all estate wines. There are good reasons for that, as grapes are difficult to grow here, especially red varieties, and there are certainly sources for quality grapes grown elsewhere. Still, it’s nice to find a local winery that has made that commitment to estate grown Continue reading Visit to Westport Rivers Winery, January 2014 https://www.redwineplease.com/a-good-value-ten-year-tawny-and-a-little-about-port-wine/ 
We love port wine, or at least I do. My son has gained an affinity for tawny, while I tend to favor vintage port but still love a good tawny as well. In general I consider port to be one of the great values available in the wine world, considering you can buy a 30 Continue reading A Good Value Ten Year Tawny and a Little About Port Wine https://www.redwineplease.com/italian-wines-and-food-at-tutto-gusto-wine-bar-in-epcot-center/ 
It was Christmas Day, the parks were really crowded and we felt the need for a little refreshment and relaxation. Lunch at the Coral Reef had been good, but after three hours of crowds we felt the need to sit. On a whim we strolled back to the Italy Pavillion and poked our heads into Continue reading Italian Wines and Food at Tutto Gusto Wine Bar in EPCOT Center https://www.redwineplease.com/two-inexpensive-reds-to-consider/ 
Today we’ll look at two more reds, both inexpensive and both Cabernet Sauvignon. One is from a steady California producer and another from Sicily. One is going on the value list. Here they are: Wine: 2011 Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon Winery Location: Clarksburg, CA Tasted By: Neil & Cheri Date: December 2013 Tasting Notes: Continue reading Two Inexpensive Reds to Consider https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-tutto-italia-at-walt-disney-world/ 
We recently got the family together at Disney World over the Christmas holiday and stopped in at Tutto Italia for dinner our first night. The restaurant is located within the Italy pavilion at World Showcase in EPCOT Center, and replaced the previous sit down restaurant a few years ago. Tutto Italia has a charming Continue reading Dining review of Tutto Italia at Walt Disney World https://www.redwineplease.com/sneak-preview-of-casey-flat-ranch-2011-estate-red-and-2012-viognier/ 
If you’ve read our recent blogs or the Top Ten Red Wines from the 2013 Newport Mansions Wine Festival, then you know we like Casey Flat Ranch wines. We’ve tried the 2009 and 2010 Open Range Reds and Estate Reds. We’ve had the 2011 and 2012 Open Range Sauvignon Blancs and the 2011 Estate White. Continue reading Sneak Preview of Casey Flat Ranch 2011 Estate Red and 2012 Viognier https://www.redwineplease.com/a-couple-of-good-reds/ 
Here are a couple of more reds to consider at different price points. I’ll take the suspense out of it and let you know we recommend them both. One is under $10 and the other probably around $20, but they both present good value, although I have to say the $9 wine is probably the Continue reading A Couple of Good Reds |
