White Stone Wine & Cheese

• October 2012

  This is what I like to call a Daring Pairing. Although the recipe calls for a small amount of white wine for the sauce, I paired this savory pizza with a Pinot Noir. Domaine Meriwether's 2005 Pinot Noir is darker, richer and fuller bodied than the usual Willamette Valley Pinot. Aromas and flavors of blackerries, cassis and cinnamon are followed ... Read More

   There are certain wine appellations that are cursed by thriving tourism, and the sunny, Mediterranean region of Provence is one of them. Typically, quality goes to the wayside when you have a steady, reliable market for whatever wine made, whether good or not. Moreover, the region is really, really sunny (I think I said that already), so this i... Read More

  I taste a lot of wine, both for work and pleasure.  I would like to get better at it, but I don't know how.   While I am able to pick out varietals, and often, even regions, pretty accurately, I want more than that. I want to be able to pick out all of the wine's nuances, both on the nose and on the palate.  Often when I am tasting I find that o...

  Channing Daughters, located on the South Fork, provided me with one of the most unique yet enjoyable tastings during my time out on the Island. The wines are pushing the limits of experimentation, but in a beautiful and eye-opening way. The fact that their mailing list devours the majority of their production is relieving to me because it shows ... Read More

  As wine lovers, I believe we all desire to pair our wines with a great meal..  Wine is meant to complement food.  Yet, many people choose to sip wines sans food, to just enjoy a glass or two, without making a big pairing deal over it.  I, personally, call those wines "sippers".   But even a GREAT glass of wine can be ruined by consuming a "non w...

  My wife Diana loves very interesting white wines. She always challenges the bartenders and the sommeliers we meet to find her something she likes. She describes the the type of wine she likes in a most intereting way, "Diana liked this wine".  One wine she really liked recently was a Grillo called Del Barone by Tenuta di Serramarrocco another sh...

  Devil's Lair Chardonnay Margaret River 2007

  Snoothrank:

  I know what to pick for our Thanksgiving dinner in the US this year. The nose of this wine had the aroma of roast turkey or chicken (white meat, cooling off), and not too much fruit. On the attack and in the mouth mild sweet-and-sour green plums and stone fruit, together with an odd but not unpleasant turkey or mild cheese flavor, plus a hint ... Read More
