The 20 Best Greek wines 2012. - GrapeRover.com
One of the wines that we stood out in particular a Gerovassiliou red, vintage 1998 Aged patiently all these years in the cellar of the estate within 5 liter bottle! We have mentioned many times in separate pleasures Generously sized bottles and tasting wine from this bottle did not remain only confirm the rule. The rationale for this wine from international varieties was to highlight the international dimension of the Greek vineyard and I imagine even better, if it ever more quantity Xinomavro
It is so ingrained in Italian winemaking that it is actually a sanctioned, ingredient of the blend used for (red) Chianti and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. In the days before the laws of denominazione di origine controllata, even Barolo would receive a dollop of Arneis to enhance its aroma and tame its fire
Originally, there was a single Estate Chardonnay, but following the Burgundian meme, winemaker Michael Brajkovich, MW, has introduced a number of single-vineyard bottlings. Millton says that he considers the Chenin Blanc from the Loire a benchmark, and while his wine is fruitier and more forward than most Loire Chenins, it can sometimes show the touches of wet wool so common there

11 reasons to avoid Oyster Bay sauvignon blanc - Tomato
We currently have a number of stray felines around the place chez Kitchen Hand and I must say that when I step outside the back door in the morning it smells like that cloying aroma you get when over-scented middle-aged women get together and drink themselves stupid on sauvignon blanc. If you do order it in a restaurant you will be ripped off because the owner knows it will be a popular choice and therefore will fatten their margins by charging extra for it
It's clean with hints of Asian pear and kiwi (though some found it faintly tinny.) And The Pink If you prefer your wine to remind you of strawberry soda and mango nectar, you could do worse than the Trader Joe's White Zinfandel. Cocktails That Make Bad Wine Taste Good Once we'd set aside the wines we were willing to drink straight (the Pinot Grigio and the Cabernet Sauvignon), we wondered how we could doctor up the rest
This is a long-distance runner, although not so much because of the tannic structure, because the fruit seems younger and more primary than some of its siblings. -Anthony Dias Blue, Patterson's Tasting Panel, December 2008 Our Buzz hall walt news Top Rated Wines Shop our 90+ point wines Join the HALL Email list for special offers and new releases: Your browser does not support iframes

Many from Israel but France has finally stepped up with new vintages, along with Spain killing it as always, whites from Israel, and Cali really showing strong this year as well. There are many very good 15 or so dollar bottles of wine, that can be bought at Skyview, Gotham, and all the other wine stores I have listed on the right hand side (as always I NEVER make money from them and I never know or care what people buy, the list is whom I buy wines from and so I can recommend them to others)
The press have been surprisingly keen to talk it down and the huge recent vintages have not helped with a lot of discounting and a proliferation of brands going on.

The 7 major types of white wines - French Scout
The crispiness of a Riesling works very well with tuna and salmon while the acidity level intermingles with the slight smokiness of the eel and cuts through the layers of spicier Japanese foods.

Candidates include some red wines (including most of the better cabernet sauvignons we've tested) and some heartier white wines, such as certain Burgundies and chardonnays.

It'Read More...s produced and aged in stainless steel to preserve its crisp freshness, but is made in an off-dry style, giving it a little extra body and a resemblance to some wines from Alsace France. This enticing, dry white is beautifully textured with outstanding concentration, a touch of spice (no doubt from being aged sur-lie), and a crisp, naked, complex style
Sauvignon blanc vs Chenin blanc - Wine - Chowhound
Both Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc are, in fact, known for their acidity BUT (to generalize and, yes, there certainly *are* exceptions) when it comes to California, Chenin is often planted in a warmer region and thus is lower in acidity than Sauvignon Blanc . In 1982, there was more Chenin Blanc (28,494 acres) planted in California than Chardonnay (22,050)! By 1992, Chenin Blanc had creeped up to 29,257 acres (with much of the harvest used in making jug wines), while acreage in Chardonnay EXPLODED to 59,971

Sancerre Jadis 2011, Domaine Henri Bourgeois Although it is quite unusual in Sancerre, Domaine Henri Bourgeois ferments a few of their wines in oak barrels. There are also vineyards with a lot of stones and gravel that produce wines with great elegance and vineyards with flint stone (silex in French) that provides intense and flavourful wines with minerality
The resulting wines are more pungent, and crisper, with passionfruit and other tropical fruit flavours, red pepper (capsicum) and gooseberry characters
But it also occurred to me that, since my wife is hardly alone in her feelings, winemakers who specialize in Sauvignon Blanc must deal with this attitude all the time. But if, no matter how hard you try, this lovely, summery grape still reminds you of a green, pinched, nasty person on a broom, take comfort: At least Sauvignon Blanc is never going to come after you with an army of evil flying monkeys
At harvest 2008, pH values were higher than expected, ranging from about 3.6 to 3.8, but in 2009, each clone came in lower, in a desirable range from about 3.2 to 3.4. Given the importance of Sauvignon Blanc as the signature white varietal of Lake County, the Lake County Winegrape Commission in conjunction with the University of California Cooperative Extension hosted a meeting this week to hear a progress report on a Sauvignon Blanc trial evaluating 12 FPS clones
