    What We’re Drinking – 2015 Donnafugata Grillo “Sur Sur” Sicilia DOC

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    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

    The Traveler Beer Company, based in Burlington, Vermont, released their Pineapple Shandy in their "Springtime Traveler's Variety Pack," with Illusive Grapefruit and Curious Lemon Shandy. It is a wheat ale made with pineapple juice. The pour is cloudy gold, the nose more candied sweet lemon than pineapple. But the pineapple

    Last night I was disappointed by a bottle of wine. I have a larger point to make, about how science and wine appreciation are at cross purposes, but let's start with this experience that you have also had. It wasn't a 98.3-point trophy bottle, but it was a wine I

    One nation under an ocean of booze

    For Brits like myself, 2016 got off to a decidedly queasy start, with the extraordinary proclamations of the UK's Department of Health as it released new, draconian guidelines for alcohol consumption. Let's begin 2017 on a more positive note, ignoring for a moment the various political calamities on both sides of
