• Challenging Wine Pairing: Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

  
  — Authority:
  It’s always fun planning a challenging wine pairing dinner. I especially enjoy the “challenge” of determining a good wine pairing for a meal in which wine would probably not be the first beverage that comes to mind. This time, I decided to make Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, a Wine Peeps’ family favorite. ...

• Variety as Regional Identity

  
  — Authority:
  At the Drink Local Wine conference in Baltimore last month one of the panels discussed the idea that Maryland should have a signature grape variety.

• Sir Cliff’s Rosé for SA?

  
  — Authority:
  After tasting the 2012 vintage of Vida Nova Rosé yesterday, a fruity blend of Syrah and Aragonez which was bottled last week, I say someone should bring it and Sir Cliff Richard to Cape Town. A spring concert at Kirstenbosch, perhaps? If Woolies can promote the Parlotones around wine, a solid gold tourist magnet for ...

  When I was in Paso Robles, in San Luis Obispo County, last week, I spend a couple of hours at Tablas Creek Vineyard, tramping through the acreage of vines (certified organic) spreading in rolling hills across the limestone-clay soil, feeling how the mid-afternoon breeze filtered in from the Pacific, seeing how ...

  So you are a Riesling fan but never drink a wine made from this grape from anywhere else other than Germany or Alsace? Your favourite red is Bordeaux Blend from the eponymous region and you think it is waste to drink such a wine from any other region of the world? You are one of those who feel that the epitome of ...

  I didn’t produce a Weekend Wine Sips — “the world is too much with us late and soon getting and spending we lay waste our powers” blah blah — so I offer today a twofer Wine of the Week, a single-varietal white and a blended red.

• Zinification Shiraz Zinfandel 2011

  
  — Authority:
  I have a confession to make, I love Zinfandel.  Sadly if you say that in England people may think you mean White Zinfandel, the wine of choice for people who dont much care for wine, but will drink it if it tastes more like a still strawberry alco-pop.  Red Zinfandel can be heavenly, but it grows in California. ...

  I was randomly strolling past the Total Wine cooler and Dogfish Head s Sixty-One caught my eye. I picked up a bottle and saw it was bottled on 02/26/13 so I assumed it was something I just had missed, considering the six-week lag. Nope, the beer guy there told me it had arrived the day before and that he was excited ...
