For almost two decades, Hans Herzog has been growing grapes, making wine and, in the process, carving out an enviable reputation for low-yielding, small-volume, high-quality handcrafted wines from Marlborough. Along with the old world-style wines, he has one of the finest vineyard restaurants, with an eclectic international wine list and a relaxed ambience in a dining room overlooking rose gardens and vines.

Hello, ma'am, sorry to bother you at home, but could I have just a moment of your time? Oh, no, I'm not here to try to change your religion, I know that this is a Jesuit town, through and through. No, I'm here to talk about an exciting wine I have to offer. It's a Bear Cave 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, and it's the only wine specifically designed for bears.

If you buy Prosecco DOCG in the store, enjoy it at your earliest opportunity as it is best the year following the harvest.
After Aurura's talk, we taste various examples of the "base wine" which is made before the secondary fermentation, each from a different region. Some are floral, some have notes of …

Even in the Bordeaux wine region of France from where the Big Bordeaux Wine Glass gets its name, it is widely considered uncouth if not indecent. And if FRANCE treats you like a stripper working the day shift, what chance do you have anywhere else in the world?

According to Mr. Duboeuf, the 2012 vintage is a follow up to the outstanding …

I had this interesting chat with a fellow wine worker person type who just so happens to be Italian, from Piedmont, imports wines of Italy and has pretty strong opinions on the topic.
