A WINE STORY | SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2011  Visiting Glen Carlou & Backsberg
Glen Carlou and Backsberg are neighboring wineries in Paarl who kindly hosted me for a tasting of both wines, then lunch at Backsberg’s lovely al fresco restaurant.

A WINE STORY | SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2011  Visiting Waterkloof in South Africa

I wish I could have tasted it when it was young to understand its progression. 0% fruit. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2009  Domaine de Bellivière - Keeping it Real in the Northern Loire
The Chenin Blancs from these places have never been as sought after as those from Vouvray, Montlouis, or Savennières. All of this is meaningless, though, if the wines don't taste good. Well, they taste very good, sometimes great. And there hasn't exactly been a plethora of inspired grower/producers either. MORE >>
