Spumante

July 15, 2008 – 11:16 pm

This evening I have been enjoying a peach spumante from Glenora a winery in New York. The tiny bubbles gave an elegant cast to the champagne glass. The aroma was a definite peach. On the first taste I could feel the peach flavor spreading. The Peach Spumate  is semi-sweet and is a refreshing summertime drink. […]

Garfield Estates Vineyard and Winery – Syrah

July 14, 2008 – 9:05 pm

Last night we had a lovely dinner with family in Virginia. The dinner offered a picture perfect potato salad and a green salad served in crystal serving dishes. Between the potato and green salads and tender chicken, there was no need for the Lemon Fluff dessert I contributed to the dinner. With the dinner, we […]

4th of July

July 3, 2008 – 11:50 pm

If you haven’t decided what wine to have, try a sparkling wine. Sparkling wines tend to be crisp and refreshing and what could be better on a hot, summer day? In addition pairing becomes very easy when using a sparkling wine as everything seems to pair with it. Are you looking for something to do […]

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 […]

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 […]
