For white wine drinkers, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most popular varieties. But while fans of the grape typically gravitate toward only one or two areas (cough cough, Marlborough and Sancerre), there’s a broad spectrum of Sauvignon Blancs to explore from great wine regions across the globe. Sauvignon Blanc is an extremely versatile grape, ranging from crisp, mineral-driven bottles with delicate fruit character to ripe expressions brimming with notes of pineapple, passion fruit, grapefrui...| VinePair
Ah, Pinot Grigio, a zesty white wine that is as refreshing as a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer’s day. The second most popular white wine in America, Pinot Grigio (a.k.a. Pinot Gris) is a dry white wine that has a punchy acidity with flavors of lemons, limes, green apples and honeysuckle. While most believe Pinot Grigio originated in Italy, it was actually born, like many of the most popular grapes of the world, in France, where it is known as Pinot Gris.

Hello autumn! We passed the autumnal equinox last month, and it seems that the weather is responding appropriately with lower temps. Huzzah! I don’t know about you all, but I am seriously looking forward to sweater weather. Let’s hope October has more good things […]| The Quirky Cork
One of the best-kept secrets in the wine world has to be Alto Adige in northeast Italy. For one thing, it’s relatively remote, lying a few hours north of both Venice and Milan. For another, it’s one of Italy’s smallest wine regions, with just under 15,000 acres of vineyards — compare that with more than 240,000 acres in Sicily, Italy’s largest. And yet, the mountainous Alto Adige (also known as Südtirol or South Tyrol), which borders Austria and where German is the dominant languag...| VinePair
Every once in a while, you just have to treat yourself. Even if money is a little tight, or you know what you’re buying is overpriced.

It might be trite, given how many different grapes grow in Greece, but I love Assyrtiko. Love it, love it, love it.

If August’s beautiful weather was anything to go by, we’re headed for a cooling down as autumn approaches in September. I even opened a red wine the other night!

This month I’m hosting our Italian Food, Wine & Travel group (#ItalianFWT) as we pair Italian wines with barbecue. I recently did a virtual tasting with the owners of Ronchi di Castelluccio from Emilia Romagna, brothers Aldo and Paolo Rametta. It was fun to explore this region more as it’s not one that I try all too often. We had tasted a wine from their first family passion project featuring their wine Poggio della Dogana Belladama. This white I felt would be the perfect feature ...| Vino Travels ~ An Italian Wine Blog

Here’s a creamy and comforting dish that’s a little easier on your waistline with those terms than say, mac and cheese. Although I wouldn’t be one to pass that up either!
