Led by California, North America has become a bastion of wine production. Once thought of as a non-player, North American wine burst onto the scene only a few decades ago and has never looked back.

African Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Written By: Matthew Apsokardu on Tuesday, July 1, 2008

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, March 5, 2008

Region of the Week: March 3, 2008

Napa Valley, like Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Chianti, is equally recognizable to both wine connoisseurs and neophytes alike. And it's a reputation that is well-deserved: Few places in the world are as perfectly suited to the cultivation of cabernet sauvignon as this Valley north of San Francisco.

Umbria, Region of the Week

Written By: Brian Freedman on Monday, July 9, 2007
July 09, 2007

This region, which neighbors the far more famous - and respected - Tuscany to its west, is an excellent example of the old maxim that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Or a grape by its skin.
