Sarita Moreno Spätburgunder sighting!

A couple of months ago I was intrigued after reading the New York Times article about Spätburgunder, Germany's Pinot Noir. I went on the hunt and called several wine merchants but sadly, none had any on hand. I heard about a small shop along San Francisco's Embarcadero and thought I'd give them a try. I came across the "No Trespassing" sign at Pier 19 and walked in to find Dee Vine Wines, a jewel in a l… Continue

jim morrison The Inviting Glass

So many times I see beautiful,well made wines consumed way too fast and carelessly.
I suppose after all it is a beverage meant to be drank, but hey..so is water, iced tea, and
soft drinks.

Steve Mirsky Trapiche Grill-Off 2010 Recipe Competition

If you’re like me, cold weather is merely a minor inconvenience standing in the way of outdoor grilling. Dusting off snow and donning the hat and scarf are all worth it if I get to fire up the grill and sizzle some steaks, burgers, or good ‘ole BBQ. Besides, I’m always down with the prospect of keepi

Resveratrol might be a key ingredient in red wine that helps prevent damage to blood vessels, reduces “bad” cholesterol and prevents blood clots. The studies supporting red wine suggest antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols help protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart.

Bobby Cintolo Millennial's - What are your preferences for wine?

Lately I have been having a discussion about how the millennial market will influence wine sales in the future. The debate is not about if millennial's will impact growth but How.

In my opinion it depends on the preferences of the ideal millennial consumer your going after. Does their behavior lean towards mobile devices, blogs, tastings, recommendations, or something else? If someone walks in for tasting and informs you they love your website or heard about your wines in a
