My good friend Gretta comes up with some great ideas. You know, we may have met at McDonald’s with our kids, but she’s one classy lady, and she has taken an interest in wine. In fact, I almost feel like she’s my number one wine cheerleader and eager to help me along. What a star! [...]

Most white wines will fit nicely on a lovely wine rack and, until being poured into your glass, will go nowhere else. You wouldn’t usually consider cellaring a white, or so I thought.

Here is a good excuse to visit the wine store: fine wine prices have dropped again. So go out and fill that dwindling wine rack! There are many factors that led up to this price drop. There has been a surplus in many wines so the market is flooded. Some also saw the high prices [...]
Some wines with an interesting history were auctioned off in London last week. The wines were made in the years prior to World War II and were successfully hidden from the Nazis during the invasion of the Channel Islands (islands between Britain and France.) The wine had been hidden between the wine companys shop and [...]
