What better way to spend an evening…your favourite white grape and your favourite red grape..and your best friend Volker.
The original plan was our usual quartet…at our local Bistro…but two cried off at short notice.

Monastero Suore Cistercensi 2007 “Coenobium”, Lazio
Submitted by Wine Reviews from the Wine School
You have to be a certain age to remember when cloyingly sweet Riesling with a “Blue Nun” label was all the rage, or, more to the point, what was available to wine drinkers of modest means.
The nuns who produce ”Coenobium” near the town of Vitorchiano,north of Rome, have blended a wine [...]

Are the Times A-Changin’?

A New Jersey bill – if it becomes law – would allow direct shipping of wine to consumers. Will this decision help out us consumers in the Keystone state?

Authentic Brunello di Montalcino

by Beth Case
The scandal is in the past, but not the too-far past; thus, many questions still surround whether one is buying an authentic Brunello di Montalcino or a bottle of Rosso di Montalcino (those “Brunellos” made with grapes other than Sangiovese). Hark! And good news! One can [...]

Wine Criticism a Thing of the Past?
Submitted by Wine Reviews from the Wine School
by Beth Case
Well, I don’t see that happening. Not anytime soon. But Oliver Thring does have an interesting article in The Guardian about American wine critic Tim Hanni’s stirring the proverbial wine world pot. And the fuss is simple: Is wine criticism necessary? Helpful? Hanni doesn’t necessarily think [...]
