As we start to feel the first tinges of fall in the air, is there a better time to toast one of the summer’s best whites? After some of the long, hot days of this past summer, there was nothing I craved more than a refreshing glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Oregon Pinot Gris, […]

“Summer Sippers” Case
Summer Sippers Case One characteristic that each of these wines shares is their refreshing acidity that qualifies each as a “summer sipper.” Summer is the season for light-bodied, fresh, clean wines with lots of energy to give us a little kick as the dog days of summer lull us into lethargy. They pair beautifully […]

Wine Reviews: Summer Whites
Summer Whites Broadbent, Portugal, Vinho Verde, NV Technically a non-vintage wine because they should be consumed within the current vintage so including the vintage is unnecessary. We prefer the Broadbent because Bartholomew Broadbent, importer, insists that the wine be shipped via refrigerated containers to preserve its freshness. A blend of indigenous white varietals picked before […]
Wine Reviews: Rosés
Commanderie de Peyrassol, Cotes du Provence, Rosé, $17.99 Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre As always, our “go-to” summer rosé– light-bodied, dry, minerally, floral, a bit more fruit this year than last, strawberry, peach and nectarine. As I write this, we are in New York, having spent much of the 80 degree day in Central Park […]

As summer approaches
The glorious weather continues; there is actually a hint of green in southern Vermont, and the roads are nearly done heaving, at least in Green River. In the wine shop, we are shifting into warm weather stock with the arrival of new vintage whites and rosés, though the latter are shipped primarily in April and […]
Spring is here
March 24, 2010 Wasn’t that a glorious week we had? The snow melted, revealing the messiest spring lawn we’ve had to date, but wheelbarrow loads of sticks, pine cones and debris provided a great excuse to be outside. Crocuses are starting to poke through the gray-brown grass; daffodils and Forsythia won’t be far behind. Mud […]
