• Getting Dirty with Alsace Riesling

  

  Visitng Alsace has been on my bucket list for years. I have researched and written many articles on the region and the wines. From a book perspective I know Alsace. However, I have never been to Alsace – until now. I returned last night from a wonderful week in Alsace.

• Fetzer Vineyards: Many Faces, One Focus

  

  It would seem at first approach that Fetzer Vineyards has a personality disorder. After all they have many different brands under their large umbrella. Upon further inspection it is evident that there is a mission, a singular focus woven through each brand, each wine, like the spokes holding the umbrella together. And if you haven’t…

• Catalonia: Beyond Cava

  

  Catalonia is vital to Spain’s wine identity, making it ironic that if the Catalans had their way they would be independent of Spain. They have their own language, gastronomy, and culture. Barcelona is the vibrant capital of Catalonia (Catalunya in Catalan). It has an intense European vibe, is home of many famous artists (Salvador Dali…

• Puglia: Take Me Away!

  

  How do you feel about art, history and nature? What do you think when you hear 500 miles of coastline divided among steep cliffs overlooking two beautiful seas and golden beaches sloping into crystal blue water?

• Ritual Wines: A Labor of Love

  

  What is your labor of love? For me, being a parent can be a labor of love.

It is a role and a responsibility that comes, at times, with…
