I recently enjoyed a tasting of South African Wines led by Zingo Munger of Cape Classics, an importer of a wide, well rounded range of South African Wines. After some discussion among the other tasters, I realized that South African wines just might be the perfect blend of old world delicacy and new world pizzaz that will hit the spot for wine lovers that are looking to strike a balance between the two extremes.

The Promiscuous Pinot Noir: the family tree of Austria?s red grapes
Rumor has is that one day, a long, long time ago, the ancient grapes Traminer and Pinot Meunier got together for some fun. Well, one thing led to another and they ended up crossing. Not long after, Pinot Noir showed up.
Pinot Noir had a good enough relationship with one of its parents, Pinot Meunier, spending a great deal in Champagne together, but something was missing. Pinot Noir feeling rejected and ignored by Traminer, the parent it rarely, if ever, saw, the spicy Pinot Noir took off in its see-through red dress to ensure its own lineage.
Well, Pinot Noir traveled far and wide, finding grapes to cross with wherever it went ? sometimes it didn?t even know the other grape?s name. Ultimately, its travels spawned all sorts of offspring, though none could ever be as fickle as the neurotic Pinot Noir...

4th Annual American Fine Wine Competition will highlight America?s brightest, boutique wineries while raising money for charity
I was recently invited to participate in a ?Celebrity Press Judging? for the 4th Annual American Fine Wine Competition that offered a sneak peek at some of this year?s vinous contenders! As the name implies, this competition celebrates only American produced wines while raising money for some fabulous local charities in the process. The wines for the event are selected by Co-founders Shari Gherman and Monty and Sara Preiser, all wine industry insiders who held the first AFWC event in 2007. In the past three years, the competition has created awareness of hundreds of wines produced in the U.S., many of which are from small, independent boutique wineries...
