• Wine of the week: Casteller Brut Rosé NV

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 127
  The Wine Curmudgeon, as is well known , is a huge fan of Spanish sparkling wine, known as cava . In fact, my enthusiasm for cava, and especially Cristalino, annoys more than a few retailers of my acquaintance. One of them, in fact, insisted that the Casteller cava (about $10, purchased ) was so much better than ...

• Pretty in pink: a change of image

  
  The Risk Collective — Authority: 124
  " width="300" height="300" /> Gorgeously pink, exceptionally girlie and very drinkable - is this the image most of us have of port as a drink? In a bid to change the image of port as something generally served in gentlemen’s clubs or Oxbridge dining rooms these well-known producers have decided to back the ...

• Wine of the week: Louis Jadot Macon-Villages 2008

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 127
  Twenty-five years ago, before Robert Parker and the Wine Magazines and five-figure bottles of French wine, Americans who drank French wine mostly drank three or four kinds. They were cheap, pleasant and Gallic -- what more did one need? We drank Beaujolais, usually the Georges DuBoeuf; Vouvray (the Wine Curmudgeon ...

  This is what a pinot grigio should be, not a mouthful of bland, anonymous, vaguely citrusy stuff, but round, full-bodied, yet delicate, a wine of expressive elegance. I’m speaking of the Attems Pinot Grigio 2008, from Italy’s northeastern Collio region. (The estate goes back a thousand years.) The wine is dry, ...

• Wine of the week: Tormaresca Neprica 2008

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 127
  No wine better illustrates what American wine drinkers want than the Neprica. And no wine better illustrates how little the wine business understands about what American wine drinkers want. In the two years Ive written this blog, the two Neprica reviews are not only the most popular reviews, but theyre the second ...

  The Jackson Estate “Vintage Widow” Pinot Noir 2008, from New Zealand’s Marlborough Region, is more expensive than the typical Wine of the Week, but it’s the wine I was most excited about (under $30) over the past few days, so here it is. The Jackson Estate is owned by John Stichburg, the fifth generation of ...

• Get in the Christmas spirit

  
  The Risk Collective — Authority: 124
  " width="300" height="300" /> This classic British liqueur is named for King Edward V11, who apparently enjoyed a warming cup before setting out on his winter morning rides. It’s a full strength spirit (41%) which Berry Brothers describe as ‘appreciated by bon viveurs, gentlemen and high-spirited ladies’. ...

• Wine of the week: Jim Jim Shiraz 2007

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 127
  The Wine Curmudgeon is not a big fan of shiraz. The excessively fruity, alcoholic, inky style that is popular in the U.S. is almost undrinkable to those of us who see wine as a complement to a meal and not as an endurance contest. Thats why, when I find a wine like the Jim Jim (about $12, sample ), Im always ...

  In my business, one tastes many sauvignon blanc wines, especially, these days, not only from California but from Chile and Argentina, the South of France and Australia. I wish I saw more from Bordeaux and the Loire Valley, but that’s simply not the case. (Though it is a plea.) Many of these sauvignon blancs are ...

• Wine of the week: Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2008

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 127
  The Wine Curmudgeon has been drinking this wine for about as long as he has been drinking wine professionally. About the only thing that has changed in the past couple of decades is that the cork has been replaced by a screwcap (and regular visitors here know how welcome a change that is). The Geyser Peak (about ...

  " width="300" height="300" /> Give the liver a break and try one of these sophisticated fruit drinks which have depth and complexity to echo red, white or rose wine. There’s a Wild Blueberry Crush for lovers of red wine; a Raspberry Lemonade if your fancy runs to pink, or a classic Wild Elderflower Bubbly for ...

  We didn’t care much for the dish we had cooked for dinner — see comment below — but we loved the wine. This was the Maçon-Villages Vieilles Vignes 2007, from Domaine Perraud, a pure and intense expression of the chardonnay grape. (The Maconnais is a narrow region south of Burgundy proper; “vieilles ...

• Wine of the week: Melini Chianti Borghi dElsa 2008

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 127
  Much has changed in the wine world over the last 70 years. This wine is not one of them. Do you want an old-fashioned, "this is the way Italy used to make cheap wine" wine? Then look for the dElsa (about $10, sample ). My Italian wine expert tells me that Melini has been exporting this wine to the United States ...

  When I read the name “Neprica,” I thought that it sort of looked Italian but didn’t exactly sound Italian. I mean, it could be the name of a medicine: “Ask your doctor about Neprica,” followed by a long list of dangers and side effects. (”May cause permanent sleeplessness … “) BUT, “Neprica” ...
