Baron Phillipe de Rothschild Vin de Pays d'Oc Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 Not an Impressive French Wine One of the least expensive ways to try a more traditionally structured French wine is to go with a Vin De Pays. Directly translated, it simply means 'country wine' and, in this case, comes from the d'Oc titled Languedoc Roussillon region near the Mediterranean. Add to this the Baron Phill... |

Black Chook VMR 2008 - Australia Offers complexity and a dynamic that you can't pass up Cleveland, Ohio is known for its extreme weather and harsh winters – and although us Clevelanders cannot complain about this past winter (due to its mildness and lack of snow), it is still nice to know that spring is just around the corner.

Il Roverone Amarone Della Valpolicella 2005 DOC Winter Blues? Amarone is the answer! Il Roverone Amarone Della Valpolicella 2005 DOC: Thanksgiving has already arrived, which means winter is just around the corner, but in Cleveland -- the snow is already falling and the chill of winter is already settling in.

Mezzo Mondo Negroamaro Rosso Salento (2007) For lovers of dry Italian reds like sangiovese, Mezzo Mondo's Negroamaro takes earthy red wine to a whole new level. Rich in cassis and earth on the nose with just a hint of herb, the dense cherry colour is stunning in the glass. Medium bodied, there's no shying away from the bitter hits... |

Michael Pozzan Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 A Great Wine for Starting Wine Enthusiasts It was a normal Friday night and I was working at the wine bar, when a couple came in who had already had dinner. They were looking for possibly dessert or a cheese plate, but mainly a bottle of wine. Easy enough for me to satisfy their needs, I handed them our wine list, and told them I... |

Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino 2001 Riserva | Wine Review Overwhelming profusion of flavors makes for a Fantastic Bombastic wine. Very often at my place of employment (Grotto Wine Bar) the most common question asked by customers is, "Do you get to taste all of the wines on your list?" The literal answer to this question is 'no' (we have over 200 wines), but I must give thanks to my work environment, because I have b... |

Dark Fruit Taste, Bombastic On a long weekend in New York City, my first stop was completely by accident, but a nice surprise- acclaimed Chef Bobby Flay's Bar Americain, located in the heart of mid-town. We went to the restaurant with the thought that we would be paying an arm and a leg, just for the location and the... |
