Classic Wines

This week "The Classic Wines Minute" visits The Wine Room of Cherry Hill in Cherry Hill , New Jersey. Brian Freedman talks with Kenton Nice, the owner of The Wine Room about the steps you go through to make your own wine. We also do a tasting of some of their wines with Michael D'Auria including a Brunello, Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and an award winning Bordeaux Blend. You heard it right - award winning wines can be produced socially at The Wine Room utilizing their professional equipment, staff and grapes sourced from around the globe for different seasons.

Malbec is one of the most popular wines in the world these days, and it seems as if bottles of this South American red take up more and more space on wine shop shelves every year. In this week's Showdown, we taste two of the most popular--and reasonably priced--malbecs from Argentina, the new spiritual home of the grape. Both of these wines are Reservas, and both are from the 2005 vintage. Yet they could not be more different from one another: One of them's a big New World-style red with great concentration and power, and the other shows the unmistakably elegant influence of its French producers. Which one reigns supreme? Click here to find out!
