    Who knows what lies beneath? It’s not always something scary.  Sometimes, it’s just scary good. A few years ago, Bollinger CEO Jérôme Philipon was chairing a routine meeting of his corporate management committee when someone brought up the business of a cache of some 600 old bottles found in one

    So you’ve tried a lot of the regular wines you find on wine lists and in shops. You’ve been to a few (or more than a few) tastings. You know what you like. And now you’re looking for the next type of wine to try. Not just something that is

    We’re dipping into a summer feel in the middle of winter -- turning up the heat and sitting down to a light fish dinner and crisp white wine. We started on this Donnafugata Grillo wine experiencing the barest whiff of freshness, and a lemon-lime attack on the palate. But over

    This is a wine you can just relax into – and maybe that will be my go-to style of wine for the upcoming year, considering the daily stress we are all laboring under: relaxing wine. This is a classic Bordeaux-style red blend, with a touch of modernity. It begins with

    When I heard recently that there was a new DOC for Barbera Appassimento I was eager to try the wine. 2014 was the first vintage for this DOC wine and it’s now being exported to the US and several other countries. The barbera grapes are dried in open trays for

    Though 2011 has been considered one of the best vintages in Sicily, I found the 2010 vintage of this wine to be my favorite at a recent luncheon with winemaker Alessio Planeta. The wine is made with 100% Nero d’Avola from the heart of the Noto DOC area – which

    In recent years we have seen many wine myths debunked in the US and Europe. However, some of them still resist fiercely, mainly with older people. For example, in America, many older people believe that only dry wines are quality wines. In Italy there’s a wine myth that “sweet wines
