  Before I retired I did a stint as chairman of Hawkes Bay Vintners (all the wineries in Hawkes Bay) and was asked to write a short article for the local newspaper. All the wineries offered tasting of most of their wines and sometimes I felt, the public didn't really understand how enthusiastic winemakers were about their product."Lets do the wine... Read More

   Hello all!I am proud to be a wine lover, but an amateur at best. To improve my knowledge I have been studying (God bless my university's library!) as much as I can about regions, varietals, etc. through books and whatnot.

  Thursday evening I will have the opportunity to taste a wine that was made twenty years before I was born.  I have never tasted a wine that old, and I'm very excited. The wine is a 1960 Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru St. Emilion.  My boss said the wine will likely be gone, but it will still be quite an experience. I'm sure many of you have tasted ol...

It would be better to not bother in most cas... Read More
