  I'm new to the site and am looking for advice on wine pairings.  I've had some excellent wines, but have not chosen them myself so I am eager to learn more.  Can someone please suggest a couple of good wines I can serve at a dinner party this week.  I'm serving grilled Moroccan Lamb Chops.  Thanks :) Read More

  Here I am trying to think of my "Wine of The Year" as well as the runner ups.  I see a lot of forums do this, but it's usually a bunch of impossible to obtain bottles or vintage wines that cost too much for the average person to afford. I find these lists pretty useless, since the best use that anyone could get from a topic like this, is to find... Read More

   We have all heard the sage words when it comes to food pairing: white wines with fish and red wines with meat.

  Most of the time, I choose to drink my dessert - that is, I'll have a glass of Sauternes all alone instead of partnering it with a lemon tart or some other delicious treat to end to a meal.
