Verona’s Best-Kept Wine Secret Is a Six-Room Hotel
Here is a sentence I did not expect to write about a hotel in the middle of a city. They make their own wine. Not “they have a good wine list.” Not “the sommelier is very knowledgeable.” The family who owns Massimago Wine Suites also owns a working winery forty...

Koehler Family Wines
Gorgeous photo of the Koehler Estate Vineyard. It is my pleasure to share the great wines of Koehler.. Derek Koehler grew up on the estate and spent a semester in France studying international practices within the wine industry. Today he is in charge of the operations of the family winery. I have been really impressed with these wines. Wines are made by Trace Brueske and were seriously good across the board. I love the new 2025 Koehler Rose (OB, 91) which is pretty and neatly textured.. Learn more about this outstanding house at https://www.koehlerwinery.com and here are my reviews of the new wines by Koehler Family Wines. 2025 Koehler ‘Magia Bianca’ White Wine- A blend of 50% Chardonnay with the remainder Viognier and Grenahe Blanc, this offers nutty notes on the nose with salted peach and sourdough bread notes.

What wines do people actually drink at Michelin-starred restaurants?
What do guests drink at Michelin-starred restaurants? The answer is obvious. Expensive wines. Everyone who goes to a restaurant regularly knows that the more expensive the food, the more expensive the wines. And now this is confirmed, at least according to writer Sara Danese, who has analysed wine lists from over 1,000 Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide.

Head Wines RED Grenache 2025
  The fusion of four Barossa and Eden Valley sites delivers a Grenache that bowls down the line with reliable line and length. Energetic aromas explode from the glass featuring dried red petals and roses, red berries and sarsaparilla. The fruit is juicy and silky, flowing about with ease. It's a wine that you can reach for time and again given its moreishness that is driven by tense, earthy tannins and finishes dry with a powdery note that whispers, calling you back. If the neighbours call you over for a drink, take two because one will evaporate in no time. 92/100 Region:  Barossa RRP:  $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to   Qwine here Follow:  Instagram ,  LinkedIn  and  X

Bethany Blue Quarry Contours Vineyard Grenache 2024
  Sleek, sexy and carrying a little more depth than first impressions suggest, this Bethany Blue Quarry Contours Vineyard Grenache is immediately engaging.  Coming from 50+ year-old vines, much younger than its Manse Vineyard sibling, I couldn't get enough of this.  Softly spiced dark cherries reign supreme, while expressive raspberries bring a pretty, juicy lift that keeps everything bright and energetic. There’s an attractive savoury-sweet interplay at work too, with a flash of dark chocolate and even a suggestion of Cherry Ripe tucked amongst the fruit. It’s a wine that feels slinky and curvaceous, flowing effortlessly across the palate without ever sacrificing flavour intensity. The real highlight is the length. The fruit extends with confidence, and there’s no denying the juicy factor that makes each sip so inviting. Faint silty tannins provide just enough structure to frame the generosity without interrupting the wine’s natural charm. This is one of those Grenaches

Windswept Elegance: Surrau and the Modern Voice of Sardinia
The Wining Hour: Few wine regions capture the rugged beauty of the Mediterranean quite like Sardinia. Shaped by centuries of seafaring cultures, ancient traditions, and dramatic landscapes, the island has emerged as one of Italy’s most compelling wine destinations. Among its leading producers, Vigne Surrau has become a standard-bearer for modern Sardinian winemaking, crafting wines that honor indigenous varieties while expressing the unique character of Gallura. Located near the glamorous Costa Smeralda in northeastern Sardinia, Surrau sits in the heart of Gallura, a region renowned for its granite soils, constant maritime winds, and sun-drenched vineyards. Here, the landscape is both wild and beautiful. Rolling hills dotted with cork oak forests and Mediterranean scrub descend toward the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, creating an environment where vines thrive under the influence of both sun and sea. Founded in the early 2000s, Surrau was born from a vision to showcase Sardin

L'Ecole No. 41
Here is the outstanding new releases by L’Ecole No. 41. It is my pleasure to share the great wines of L’Ecole No. 41 which is one of Walla Walla’s oldest wineries. This was one of the first wineries I tasted at more than 25 years ago. While the perform exceedingly well at the entry level, their higher end wines continue to soar and have been particularly impressive over the past seven years. They are sourcing from one of the most electric sites in the entire Pacific Northwest, the ‘Ferguson Vineyard’ which is sent on fractured basalt soils. Wines from this site are unlike anything else in the Northwest. I am so impressed with the latest set of new wines. I adored the 2023  L’Ecole No. 41 ‘Ferguson Vineyard’ Red Wine (OB, 98) which has insanely good terroir and shows sensational aging potential.

Bethany Blue Quarry Manse Vineyard Grenache 2024
  Not as expensive as its Contours Vineyard stablemate, this Manse Vineyard Grenache offers a fuller, weightier expression from the outset. From 1924 planted vines that dig their feet into clay soils, darker fruits and berries lift from the glass wth scents of dried red petals, earthy nuances and a dusting of dark chocolate. The palate follows suit, bringing dark cherry and plum fruit with an earthy drive that keeps everything grounded. There is more heft here compared to more delicate expressions of Grenache with the fruit carrying good concentration and drive. Neat and composed, it comes together comfortably rather than spectacularly with the fruit and savoury elements working in unison. A solid, enjoyable Grenache that goes about its work with little fuss and drinks well. 92/100 Region:  Barossa RRP:  $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to   Qwine here Follow:  Instagram ,  LinkedIn  and  X
