Welcome Newton. Looks like you might need three different wines. The Squash and ginger soup would work best with a rich, white, maybe some thing from Alsace. I would go with a Pinot Gris, many...

"Good morning,

On 10/23 I sent a message that made reference to a new, innovative wine barrel. And, we need assistance (or a source) in gaining a better understanding of the science involved in the toasting process.

So far, no reply. Will you help???

Thank you in advance!

This is the great and true test of the wine's quality.. I can finish a great bottle in 2 hours I can finish a very good bottle in 3 to 4 hours I can finish a good bottle in 6 hours, but it...

Gregory Dal Piaz reviewed Cameron Hughes Lot 165 Los Carneros Pionot Noir 2008. (4/5)
On Nov 12

Low key and roast meaty on the nose with dense dark cherry fruit and an aromatic, rosewood top note, a little tarry. Delicious style of wine, still youthful and rambunctious, yet with succulent...

Gregory Dal Piaz reviewed Bodega Chacra Pinot Noir Barda 2007. (4.5/5)
On Nov 12

Gregory Dal Piaz reviewed Davis Bynum Pinot Noir 2007. (2.5/5)
On Nov 12

A little hot on the nose with lots of sweet fruit, cola, a touch of citrus, roast meat and oak. This is a big, powerful style of Pinot with a chewy texture and dark, muscular fruit, there are...

Starting at $29.99 Snoothrank: 2.5/5

Very floral at first with a light, whispery character that gains a soft, lightly vanilla and tamarind-scented edge to the soft strawberry fruit. There are backing notes of mocha, oaken spice that...

Cola nut baked cherry pastry, herb, oak and earth all contribute to the complexity on the nose. This is a touch light but it uses that to its advantage keeping the fresh herb and floral edge wild...
