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...

What?s your ?electric chair? food and wine pairing?
When hanging out with fellow food obsessed friends and wine nerds, I often throw the following question out to the crowd to see the responses it will elicit:
If forced to choose, what would be your "electric chair" food and wine pairing?
In other words, what would you eat and drink for your very last meal on God's little green earth. Inevitably, names like DRC, Lafite, d'Yquem and Krug weave their way into the conversation, matched with foods like duck breast, Wagyu, Foie Gras, and Sturgeon Caviar...

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.

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...
