A community portal about Wine with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of the juice of fruits, usually grapes. Although a number of other fruits - such as plum, elderberry and blackcurrant - may also be fermented, grapes are naturally chemically balanced to normally ferment completely without requiring extra sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Non-grape wines are called fruit wine or country wine. Other products made from starch based materials, such as barley wine, rice wine, are more similar to beers. The English word wine and its equivalents in other languages are protected by law in many jurisdictions.

A new downtown wine-tasting lounge called Pithy Little Wine Co. is expecting to open along Chorro Street in downtown San Luis Obispo in December. Owned by Jeffrey Munsey and Felicia Alvarez, the tasting room is to proffer wine made by the couple at Crush Paso Robles, a wine-making center shared by a number of winemakers in Paso Robles. Starting in January, a new state law will allow the tasting room to offer not only short pours to taste, but...

It is Italy's most planted grape variety, but it may be easier to identify a bottle of Sangiovese in Australia, California or even Argentina. It's those European wine-making laws again, that traditionally give pride of place on the label to the terroir rather than the name on the grape.

The Foreign Affair winery produces a strong portfolio of wines. Several wines are made by air drying completely, some by partial air drying, and a few are made using standard non-drying practices. At your local LCBO, you are most likely to find the Foreign Affair's pinot noir, merlot, cabarnet sauvignon or riesling from the 2007 vintage. These wines have settled into the typical Niagara premium price bracket, ranging from 28 dollars for the...

A friend of mine brought this bottle of wine over a few days ago. The empty bottle is still hanging around because I want to find more! We really enjoyed it.
It is a medium bodied Sauv Blanc that isn’t too sweet. Good fruit flavors and a little buttery. Quite lovely in our opinion.
I’m still on the hunt to find it locally (I honestly haven’t checked around yet), but here’s where you...
