Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, July 5, 2006
Merlot has a bad reputation in the United States.

Dessert / Sweet Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, July 12, 2006
Sweet wines, when made well, are some of the most rewarding and intensely-flavored wines on the market.

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, July 12, 2006
Believe it or not, there are wineries in each and every one of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. This is surprising to most people, for when we think of American wine, we generally limit ourselves to California, New York State, Washington State, and Oregon.

Carmenére / Carmenere Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, January 24, 2007
Carmenére is a traditional grape variety of Bordeaux that has, over the course of the last century, fallen out of favor there. It is, however, undergoing a bit of a revival in Chile, where it was brought in the 19th Century. When Carmenére is made into a varietal wine, it is full-bodied and powerful. Its reputation seems to be improving after...read more
 

Gewürztraminer Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, January 24, 2007
The Gewürztraminer grape variety produces some of the most deeply colored, full-flavored, high-alcohol white wines in the world.
