  I'm new to snooth, and fairly new to wine.  I waitress part time at a nice Italian restaurant that offers mostly Italian wines.  Through my tastings at work I've grown to love the pairing of wine with food and all the flavors you can savor in a single glass of wine. Read More

  Out of the way, down a drive lost in Spring Mountain, one comes upon Smith-Madrone, a winery that speaks as much of the past as the present. There’s a bit of a Twilight Zone feel here; it’s in a GPS black hole, and somehow it recalls the innocence of a simpler time.
