Filed under: Wine , Fall , Cocktail Hour , Wine of the Week Photo: Francois Mori/AP. Fall means shorter days and cooler nights. But you don't have to dig out the bold, heavy reds. Beaujolais is a wonderful transition wine. From the Beaujolais region just south of Burgundy, France, only Gamay grapes can be used. Drinking Beaujolais is like slipping into a light linen jacket, whereas Cabernet Sauvignon...

Out of all the things people do to enhance their wine experiences from having a cellar, to cooking food, to going to tasting group events or industry tastings, nothing beats traveling to a wine region and experiencing it for your self.

To reach the most popular destination, Millbrook Vineyards , you must drive down a dusty road surrounded by fields overlooking the Hudson Valley. The standard wine tasting includes a...

I don't know about the chardonnay, but if Yosemite Road Cabernet, 7-Eleven's house brand , were a song, it'd be "Red, Red Wine." Not Neil Diamond's original. Or even Tony Tribe's excellent rocksteady version. It'd be the UB40 cover, because it's obvious, completely inoffensive, and in this case, on heavy rotation in my mom's place. At a recent "purse party," she secretly replaced...

The American legal system really is a mess. Whether it's the reluctance of the two parties in congress to address nominees for various federal courts or the constant tort claims, it seems that justice comes at an obscenely slow pace.One...

This wine presents with a youthful purple hue and a big plummy bouquet and loads of blackberry fruit with black licorice fragrance. Palate: It's a big juicy dark fruit bomb with ample fruit flavors and a nice texture with plush tannins and enough structure to carry this wine for quite a few more years. Speaking of which--the label says it should hold for 5 years. News flash: this wine will hold for...

Tis the season for squash and gourds. But more than looking at them as decoration, I prefer eating them. And for butternut squash, few ways are better than as ravioli with sage/butter sauce. So, which wine would you pair with these delicious, autumnal ravioli? I have some thoughts but will hold them for the comments. To [...]

(NW) opened this wine on a recent trip to Boston. Made by "Wyland" the lable says it is a classic Tuscan blend yet I would not have pegged it as a Sangiovese in a thousand years. I thought it was a Zinfandel or maybe Petite Sirah with a beautiful black cherry hue and ripe blackberry, plum and dark fudge foundations. Palate: Robust, balanced, beautiful with nice big berry, blueberry and something...

The year 2009 will be known for many things: notably the most difficult economic period of time since The Great Depression, a circumstance that has left little unaffected. However, less notably, 2009 will also be known as the year that our wine media intractably changed forever.

Wine tastes different to those who are given information on the product before a wine tasting, tests where the test people received information on the wine before and after the tasting have shown. Many a wine grower trembles at the prospect of a visit from Robert Parker, one of the most famous wine critics in the world. His “Parker Points” have a similar impact to the Roman Emperor’s thumb, deciding
