  Yeah, I know, drink the beer!  Why would a wine fan want to travel to a place better known for beer anyway?  Well, my ancestry is Bohemian, so I wanted to see a bit of my roots in the Czech Republic, so a hundred thousand frequent flyer miles later and I am in business class to Prague!  So I've read they do have a wine country there, but if you ...

   Following a Wall Street Journal article yesterday, wine sites and blogs are exploding with news that Robert Parker has sold a substantial share of The Wine Advocate to a group of young investors in Singapore.

Was there someone who said that one has to pair holiday food (turkey, stuffings, ham etc) with Pinot Noir?

  I noticed that OutThere purchased seven bottles of a particular wine at $14 and it occurred to me that it was a $100 purchase, and enough to last about a week.  So I got curious, and mentioned in the thread that it would be interesting to know how much per week people spent.  Well, Emark has better records and more time on his hands than I do, a...

  I posted this question because someone on another thread referred to Merlots as "tannic" and I don't think of them that way.  But I also realize I am less sensitive to tannins than to, for example, acidity.  I have to stop and think about whether tannins are high or medium, although I can kind of quantify them if I stop and think.I think of tann...
