They have tastings and a very knowledgeable staff that is good about answering questions and offering suggestions at any price point. As for magazines, I like Wine and Spirits and Wine Enthusiast. Wine Spectator is expensive and deals with wines that are out of my price range. I am sure there are others but those are my regulars. Best of luck and remember the four S’s when tasting and driving - Swirl, Sniff, Sip and Spit.    (hide)

A lovely dark gold color, the nose was rich and sweet and held a lot of promise that unfortunately the wine didn’t deliver. Surprisingly, in the mouth the wine was slightly dry with a sharp finish. The mouth feel had that silky smoothness that one expects from a dessert wine, but the balance was somehow just “off.” It may that I had a tasting from a bad bottle, so I will definitely give this another try before writing it off altogether.    (hide)

  Newport Vineyards Cabernet Franc Rouge 2007

  Snoothrank:

  The color is a lovely jewel-tone medium garnet that subtly sparkles in the glass. The nose is deep and soft with light notes of earth and fruit and just a hint of spice.

Read moreThe color is a lovely jewel-tone medium garnet that subtly sparkles in the glass. The nose is deep and soft with light notes of earth and fruit and just a hint of spice. A medium-bodied wine, there are soft notes of fruit in the mouth - I detected dark berries and just a hint of cherry brightness. The finish is clean with lingering notes of pepper that give the wine an interesting character. Perhaps I had a tasting from a recently opened bottle, but I did feel that the wine needed to breathe longer to display it’s full potential.    (hide)

A light-bodied wine, in the mouth the flavors are light, clean and smooth with light sweet notes of pear and a touch of lemon on the finish. The citrus is crisp and balances the smoother, deeper flavors of the pear, and the oak provides a light toastiness.    (hide)

Read moreHey Molly - I am located in Boston and there are some hidden gems around town ... I HIGHLY recommend going to Newport, RI and going to 22 Bowen. Not only is this probably the best Steak House I have been too (I have been to Grill 23, Capitale Grill, Felmmings, Morton's) it has an AMAZING wine list. I think back in 05 it was rated top 50 wine lists in the country. There are also a lot of small cute wine bar's in the north end to check out as well and you can't go wrong on food up there! Let me know what ones you try! ~Bra    (hide)
