New Mexico wineries

June 26, 2008 – 3:51 pm

Yesterday, I emailed wineries in my attempt to discover more recipes for the website www.winetrailtraveler.com. As part of my quest I describe the website and provide a link to it. One response I had was from a New Mexico winery who inquired as to why we did not have New Mexico wineries in our Winery […]

Okay, so we haven’t been back from Colorado for two weeks and I already want to return for this week’s Boulder Food & Wine Festival. I mentioned that to my husband and as you can imagine, he just looked at me. Okay, so I know I won’t be at the Boulder Festival on June 28th, but […]

How Much Are You Willing to Pay?

June 21, 2008 – 12:48 am

I just received an ad from a wine store about 10 miles from my home. Out of curiosity, I flipped through looking at some of the prices. How is it that French wines, Australian wines and wines from across the country are less expensive than wines in our own “backyard.”  Of course, startup costs are […]

Grapevines in the Home Garden

June 18, 2008 – 11:34 pm

I just looked at the few grapevines we have in the yard. The Niagara grapes which were the size of a pinhead  just a few weeks ago are now much bigger and I can hardly wait. Unfortunately due our trip to Colorado, weeds and shrubbery and too much rain has started to take its toll. […]

We also met Doug Caskey from […]

Colorado Winds

June 11, 2008 – 2:33 pm

Colorado’s unique climate and elevation makes for some interesting vineyard practices. While we were visiting wineries in the Grand Junction area of the state, we noticed intense winds in the morning. Later in the day the wind would reverse direction. These strong winds are the result of the quickly changing area temperature. Yesterday while visiting […]

Oakencroft Vineyard and Winery

June 5, 2008 – 7:18 pm

I am sorry to hear that Oakencroft Vineyard and Winery is closing its doors. I believe it is a loss to the Virginia wine industry both physically and sentimentally. On a rainy day in April 2007, we had visited the winery and tasting room. Despite the rain, the area was beautiful with lovely landscaping, a […]

Throughout the book Natalie MacLean brings her passion for tasting wine and learning about wine from the inside out. The author takes the […]
