Our weekly articles showcase the wines of California, Oregon, Washington State, Canada, Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Visit us often for current developments, wine reviews, wine tour recommendations and wine/food pairing. Our twelve member tasting panel meets regularly to compare New World wines with their Old World prototypes and to offer purchasing advice. We'll steer you to the best values in Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and almost every varietal wine available.
