Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore all in one room! | | WHY WINE BLOG FEBRUARY 7, 2011 VIVI Falanghina 2009 I am finding it hard to accept that I am becoming a fan of white wines over what I always thought would be my only choice, that is, red wines. Over the past three years I have found that what I had been avoiding for 30+ years may have been what I most desired all that time.

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2011  Hung up on Classification, Champagne Style
I think that the lines that distinguish grower Champagne from big house Champagne are too rigidly drawn. If a producer farms their own grapes and makes wine from those grapes, we say that they are making grower Champagne. We're willing to give a little, in other words, when categorizing producers and their wines. And there's nothing wrong with that! MORE >> -

SLAKED | FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2011  2007 Caterina Zardini Valpolicella Classico Superiore **
Very good. Better than expected. Dark garnet almost black rose. Creosote as RPJ likes to say on the nose. Some black cherry and dry herbs as well. On the tongue, quite nice acid, not here or there just very full, soft integrated tannin without the presumption of oak or age. Blood, hint of steak fat on the finish. Recommended. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2011  A Trend Toward Single-Vineyard Wine in Champagne?
