The theme for this article was actually suggested to me by fellow gastronaut friend Todd, so many thanks for this great idea! There is a huge irony in an article like this. For there exists, to my mind, the greatest myth in the entire world of wine, that sweet wines are not worthy of serious [...]

We’ve all been to Japanese restaurants or sushi joints and consumed that insipid warm junk that passes as sake.

Wow, it’s hot out there. Welcome to summer! The time for heavy reds is over for a few months – not to say that you can’t enjoy a Cabernet, Zinfandel or Syrah with dinner, but I can’t imagine your predominant choices won’t be sparkling, rosé or white wines. This article will focus on white table [...]

When the weather is sweltering in the mid 90′s or hotter the last thing I want to do is eat a heavy meal with a heavy-bodied wine. Amanda came home the other day with some fabulous veal chops. Normally we’d pair this with a Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo but we couldn’t face a red. So [...]
