July 9, 2011 – 6:20 am

We then headed west on the 401 and then a number of roads and turns heading in a southern direction to our first winery stop in Prince Edward County. Our first impression driving the roads throughout the county is its resemblance to […]

Every now and then I receive a telephone call from someone with a wine or winery question. Most often the callers believe they have reached a winery rather than an online publication. Calls have been on the increase this year averaging about one a week. I’ve helped mothers planning their daughters’ weddings, people interested in […]

In a casual survey, our dinner guests preferred the Beaujolais Villages, Château Luc du Tracot, however it was interesting to note that the bottle of the Chiroubles was […]

Beaujolais Is Missing

June 27, 2011 – 5:05 am

We were happy to receive four wines from the Beaujolais region of France to pair with traditional Independence Day foods. Considering the ninety-degree weather, tasty light white and red wines that are nicely chilled seem quite appealing. On June 28th Discover Beaujolais is organizing a live wine tasting event on Twitter at 7:00 pm EDT. […]

June 15, 2011 – 6:50 am

A question was posted on Twitter by enoturisme asking, “So what is the absolute coolest, most beautiful wine tourism destination in the world?” This is a difficult question to answer without criteria to define beautiful.

CorkReharvest Collects Corks at Whole Foods Markets

May 24, 2011 – 7:03 am

Yesterday Kathy commented on the collection of wine bottle natural corks by ReCORK by Amorin. Give them a call when you have 15 pounds of corks; that’s 1650 corks. The problem for the general consumer is saving 1650 corks. They may be willing to save a couple, even several but won’t want hundreds of corks […]

Sour Wine, Hyssop, and Jesus’ Crucifixion

April 22, 2011 – 6:33 am

During the cold of this past winter, we did get out to go to our church to read aloud and discuss a few of the books in the Bible. One thing that struck me was the many references to vineyards and wine in Revelation, Ecclesiastes and Esther. Today many celebrate Good Friday when Jesus was […]
