My Washington State Wine Adventure

Washington wines are known for their high quality and affordability, yet there is nothing better than experiencing the “terroir” first-hand. Ivonne Nill, Wine Associate at Gary’s of Wayne, made the long trip out West in June ‘09 to taste the wines, and discover the people, the AVAs, and the vineyards behind this marvelous source of vinous libations.





Mention Washington State, and apples, cherries even hops come to mind, but grapevines?



In 1969,… Continue

Verticals of Allegrini Amarone and Tasca d'Almerita Rosso del Conte

Working in the wine biz, we get a chance to taste a good number of verticals: lineups of one particular wine from any number of vintages. Verticals of high-end Bordeaux, California Cabernet, even Burgundies are not at all uncommon.



But it's not every day that you get the chance to taste a vertical of Amarone, the uniquely-vinified wine of the Veneto region in Italy, nor Nero d'Avola, the ubiquitous grape of Sicily. And it's certainly a special occasion when two of Italy's… Continue

Hello Gary,

I am from Portugal, from Dão region, in the center north of this wonderful country, wine grower and wine maker, promoting my own wine.

Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also cold Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.
Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.

Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:

“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.

Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”

Best
