Founded in 1971 by Arnaldo-Caprai Caprai, and now in the hands of his son Marco, the estate has become the leading producer of Sagrantino wines in the region. So I just received two wines today from producer Arnaldo-Caprai. | DR. VINO OCTOBER 6, 2009 Natural wines, premox, chenin blanc, 07 Port and Rhone – John Gilman Even a potentially targeted wine such as one of Bruno Giacosa’s top cru bottlings from either Barbaresco or Barolo is much less likely to be fake if it is the 1974 or 1979 Santa Stefano, rather than the 1978 or the 1971. To my knowledge, chenin blanc reaches its greatest expressions in France’s long, meandering Loire Valley. think not. | | | | | | | |

WHY WINE BLOG | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2012  E. Guigal Gigondas 2007
For 'old world' wines I have always enjoyed those from Italy and Spain and paid little attention to wines from France. The region, once a Cotes-du-Rhone village, earned its own appellation in 1971. I very rarely buy, order or drink French wines. nice dark garnet red color filled the glass. Aromas were awesome. This wine was delicious. MORE >> -

DR. VINO | WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2009  Ulli Stein and his forbidden wine
This sweet wine has its origins in the Jura, the Alpine region of France, and gets its name from the straw mats that the grapes are dried upon for months after harvest and before a long fermentation (Stein said his takes 12 months). Ulli Stein has made a forbidden wine for decades. Stein appealed. The next court turned him down. Very nice. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2009  Domaine Pierre Morey, Meursault
Although he started his own Domaine in 1971, he was for many years the quiet force behind the wines of Domaine Leflaive. He should probably be nominated for France's version of "Living National Treasure." Perhaps the finest and most memorable lesson that I received in Burgundy terroir came at the hands of Pierre Morey. Delicious wine. MORE >>
