Subscribers tell me they want useful "how to buy" information. With the guidance here, you’ll know how to find wines you like - often not the same thing as wines that have been given a high rating! You'll know how to find the best values on a restaurant wine list, and what serve at your next dinner with that roast chicken. This knowledge builds on more than my recommendations. Just because I love a wine doesn’t necessarily mean you will, too. So along with reviews, you’ll find a wine’s back story; context to enable you to find wines you love, at prices that fit your budget.
Topics I cover range from “Say What?” (an appreciation of unusual varietals), and “The Zen of Zin”, to review of new organic wines. I’m passionate about wine as a part of a meal with family and friends, so my posts always include a recipe to go with that glass.
