Good Wine vs. Great Wine vs. Interesting Wine

Good Wine vs. Great Wine vs. Interesting Wine

“What’s your favorite wine?” It’s a common question I get, especially for some reason during haircuts. It’s an icebreaker I guess, at least for the person asking the question. Answering it … well that’s a different story. For years I’d quickly race through my mental file cabinet, only to pull out some obscure gem I…

Enjoying Summertime Wines (for maximum enjoyment)

Enjoying Summertime Wines (for maximum enjoyment)

Ordering wine at a restaurant: a modern cheat sheet

Ordering wine at a restaurant: a modern cheat sheet

It used to be so easy. White wine with fish, red wine with meat. Yes, I’ll have a glass of Merlot and she’ll have a glass of Chardonnay. Oh, a bottle? I’ll have that tried and true name from Napa Valley that my parents enjoyed as well. Today’s wine reality turns this on its head,…
