I've been looking for a combination wine that I can serve on warm afternoons as an aperitif or as the main wine for dinner with friends or just to have when I enjoy a quiet dinner with my wife. I found it!

When I hear someone mention Austrian wines, red wine is not what comes to my mind. This is a wine introduction that surprised me and one I will put on my list of wines to go back for a second bottle!

When you are getting together with old friends you need a wine that you can count on. This one fills the bill for me. Maybe you'll like it too!

Tempranillo is an interesting red grape. It smells like lush plums, black pepper, dark berries, and maybe an earthy smell. But there is more - a lot more!

What's better than coming home from skiing or after a day at the beach on a Saturday afternoon and making up some hot ruben sandwiches? Well I would have to say that you have to have wine with those rubens to make it all complete, naturally.

Shortly after I got back from my New Mexico wine trail trip last October, my favorite wine retailer told me "I have an outstanding Zin that you have to try. Don't ask me what the price is, just buy it."
