Thanksgiving Wine should be one among the many reasons we give thanks this year. Unfortunately, for too many feasts and revelers, the thanks that goes on happens in spite of the wine. I thought I would give you a sneak peak at what we will be serving this year. The theme is American wine. Since Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, I thought that American wine would be a nice place to start....

I received my first Christmas gift today. I know, Halloween was a mere 3 days ago, Bonfire Night is still 2 days hence, and Thanksgiving (if you happen to be an English person who cares about that particular holiday), is yet more than 3 weeks away. But Christmas is looming large already; on telly commercials, in the shops and apparently, on the mind of my own personal Santa! An extremely generous co-worker...

Grape Sense - A Glass Half Full (Free subscription) | 31/10/2009
There is no better way to enjoy great wine than with great food. Wine and food are such an important part of life in Old World countries like France and Italy. The concept is what Robert Mondavi talked about all of his life. I had to be in Cleveland this weekend for work and made my second-ever visit to Lola's in downtown. If that sounds vaguely familiar to you foodies that's because Lola's is owned...

Several California vintners then saw promise in such varieties, and endlessly drew comparisons between the rolling hills and holy sunshine of Tuscany,...

Zinfandel is like white wines: it doesn’t age well, right? Wrong. Oh, so wrong. On Saturday night, I opened a bottle of 14-year-old zin I’d pulled from the cellar a couple of weeks ago, to set it up right and make it ready for drinking on the right occasion. Which, in the end, meant pizza night on [...]

Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape which has defined the Napa region more than any other grape and for many good reasons. The climate and soil there are perfect for Cabs – hot days with cool nights at decent elevations and with good, fertile soils. Robert Mondavi helped shape the Cab scene in Napa and ever [...]

Wine Spectator ReviewRated 90Dark, ripe and flavorful, with a complex array of mature dried cherry, plum, anise and cedar notes. Shows a measure of restraint and finesse and finishes with an aftertaste that echoes its mature but complex flavors.

In vino veritas There was no shortage of small talk among guests at celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck's celebration Monday night of the second anniversary of his D.C. restaurant, the Source. He rang in the popular establishment's third year with a wine dinner in honor of Robert Mondavi, the legendary American winemaker. Perhaps it was the wine talking, as the collective sound of merriment during the pre-dinner...
