    What We’re Drinking – 2012 Copper Mountain Pinot Noir

    David Honig
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Intensely fruity with undertones of fresh earth. Dark cherries, loam, and a touch of vanilla are on the nose. Tart red fruits dominate the palate, led by cranberry, with wild strawberries and sour cherry. Hints of freshly-turned earth show around the edges. Tartness lingers on the finish. Tannins are rustic

    What We’re Drinking – 2013 J Vineyards and Winery Pinot Noir

    Intense is the first word that comes to mind when encountering this wine. The aroma is concentrated strawberry fruit, which continues in the flavors of the wine, surrounded by a nice thin circlet of vanilla on the palate and in the finish. The style of fruit is very New World,

      The 500 or so alumni from past Digital Wine Communications Conferences (this year will be the 8th edition) indulge in a torturing game every year. During the winter months, social media channels hum with activity as everyone starts playing “guess this year's location”. DWCC has always been adventurous, taking

    What We’re Drinking – 2013 Donafugata Sdàra

    A thoroughly enjoyable wine for any day of the week. A notable dark red, cooked fruit flavor, with integrated mild tannins and lively acidity give it just enough granularity and presence and a touch of fennel, too. Pour it liberally alongside simple meat dishes or traditional pasta with marinara sauce. Highly

    What We’re Drinking – 2014 Anthìlia Sicilia DOC Bianco

    Another very pleasant wine experience for any-day wine drinking from the distinguished Donnafugata winery in Sicily. (Bonus: use the QR code on the bottle to find an accounting of the winery’s carbon footprint.) Based on the native Cataratto grape, this white blend begins with aromas of straw, peach, orange and

    I'll spoil the punchline: the news on wine and cancer is mostly good. Wine is going to kill you or wine is going to save your life: the expert answer seems to flop between one answer and the other whenever the daily news gets too quiet. Or maybe I'm getting

    Entre-Deux-Mers: Bordeaux’ Enchanting “Lower East Side”

    Even for people who love the wines of Bordeaux, a map of the region could substitute the words “Terra Incognita” in place of “Entre-Deux-Mers” and few would notice the change.  Indeed, the only time most Americans visiting Bordeaux spend in Entre-Deux-Mers is the 20 minutes on N-89 as we race
