Any advice about White Sweet Wine? Which one to take Italy or France?

Hello! I have read about a zillion blogs, forums, reviews, etc and need help narrowing down my list of wineries to visit on Spring mountain. I like big cabs/red blends. Trying to decide between:...

I have to move with my wine bottles. The wine is currently stored in a wine refrigerator under the proper temperature. If i take the bottles out and pack it for transit that will last 7 days, wil...

It's time for seasonal harvest festivals all around the metro area. One of the biggest is coming up again: Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest will take place in Rhinebeck, N.Y. at the Dutchess County F...

So you would think I know the answer to this, after 40+ years in the wine trade, but laws change, court cases are decided, and I frankly don't have a freakin' clue! Most question of this ilk are...

So last week I grabbed a bottle of inexpensive Gewürztraminer at the grocery store to go with a week night supper. It's a recent vintage, nothing fancy, in the usual Gewurzt style bottle. The rubbe...
