Gainey
Gainey produces an outstanding range of wines from the Santa Ynez Valley. Today we share the wines of Dan and Diane Gainey. Their family winery is located in the Santa Ynez Valley and the story began when Dan’s grandfather and father, Dan J. Gainey, acquired 1,800 acres of undeveloped land. Named the ‘Home Ranch’ they ran cattle and horses while growing 600 acres of fruit, vegetables, flowers and hay. In 1984, Dan’s father converted 50 acres to grapevines and Gainey Vineyard was born. Now in its fourth generation, Gainey wines have been producing some outstanding new releases. I love the 2024 Evan’s Ranch ‘Caitlin’s’ Chardonnay (OB, 93) which is viscous and delicious with excellent salty tones..

White Rose Estate
Here are the great new wines by White Rose Estate. A winery with a great history in Oregon wine, White Rose Estate began all the way back in 2001. This winery is now celebrating 25 years in Oregon wine this year. Located in the Dundee Hills Ava, founder Greg Sanders began his winery journey by buying a 10-acre vineyard in 2000, with vines dating all the way back to the late 1970s. In Jesus Guillén was appointed head winemaker and made some glorious wines which I enjoyed in my personal collection for years. He sadly passed away and left and indelible mark on the Oregon wine industry. Winemaker Greg Urmini formerly worked for Paul Hobbs and their Argentinian winery Vina Cobos before coming to White Rose. The new wines that he made were exceptionally good. I love the 2023 White Rose ‘Collector’s Classic’ Pinot Noir (OB, 95) which is very earthy with its truffle notes and soft mouthfeel.

Red Sparkling Wine—and Yes, it’s a Thing. From Italy. Starting with Lambrusco
If you’ve never heard of Lambrusco sparkling wine, you’re more fortunate than many wine-drinkers. For the rest of us, it’s time to drop preconceived notions, now that we’re getting much higher quality, red sparkling wines from Lambrusco, in the Emilia-Romagna province of Italy. Over a zoom with two thirty-something brothers from the new Ventiventi winery, Andrea and Riccardo Razzaboni, I recently tasted several styles of their wine made with Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes from the DOC region of the same […]

Forget the Beach House. This Summer, Drink Long Island at Portrait Bar
Long Island, But Make It a Cocktail — Portrait Bar’s New Summer Menu HAS ArriveD If you're headed to New York this summer, make time for a detour that doesn't require a MetroCard or a rental car. Hidden inside the five-star Fifth Avenue Hotel—luxury without the attitude, all polished brass and velvet hush—is The Portrait Bar . It’s got the kind of character you’d expect from a library where the books drink Negronis. And for a limited time, it’s offering a summer menu inspired by that most unglamorous but deeply nostalgic New York tradition: the Long Island Rail Road. Yes, that LIRR. Turns out, the clackety old line that shuttles beach-bound city dwellers to Montauk, Oyster Bay, and beyond is now the muse behind one of the most imaginative cocktail menus in Manhattan. Bar Director Darryl Chan—equal parts alchemist and local historian—has crafted five drinks that nod to the train lines and the destinations at the end of them. They’re playful, potent, and made with ingredients sourced fro
videoThe most dangerous wine in the world
Imagine harvesting grapes under artillery fire. Discover the 7,000-year history of Lebanese wine and the ancient Roman caves of the Bekaa Valley. What questions does this video answer? What is the history of winemaking in Lebanon? How did Lebanese vineyards survive a 15-year civil war? What are the traditional wine grapes grown in the Bekaa Valley? How do winemakers use ancient Roman caves to age their wine? About This Video: For 7,000 years, Lebanon has been producing world-class wine. From the ancient Phoenicians sailing vines across the Mediterranean to the modern era, this region is built on resilience. During the brutal 15-year Lebanese Civil War, vineyard workers in the Bekaa Valley continued to harvest grapes under active artillery fire—turning a two-hour transport route into a three-day ordeal just to keep the winery running. Today, historic estates like Chateau Ksara still age their vintages in two kilometers of ancient Roman caves discovered by Jesuit priests in 1857. B
