4th Annual American Fine Wine Competition will highlight America?s brightest, boutique wineries while raising money for charity

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...

A tasting of one of California?s top sparkling wine producers

Sonoma county is relatively well known for a number of reputable sparkling wine producers, who make bubblies in the traditional Champagne method (i.e. second fermentation in the bottle). In my mind, with all due respect to all other methods of getting CO2 into a wine, the method of Champagne is the only way to go for any serious drinkin'! And while nothing touches Champagne itself (with the exception of perhaps Italy's Franciacorta and Trento DOC), our traditional method domestics from Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties, such as Roederer Estate, Domaine Chandon, Mumm, Domaine Carneros, Schramsberg and Gloria Ferrer, are not bad at all, and offer really delicious and cheaper alternatives, and a sense of patriotism...

It?s the most wonderful time of the year. Why not drink the most wonderful wine?

With the headache of Thanksgiving wine pairing officially behind us, it?s time to focus on the real holiday wine season. It is, after all, the most wonderful time of the year. You can practically smell Christmas, Hannukah, and the New Year in the air. That can only mean one thing for wine lovers? it?s Champagne season.

Save the Cava and Prosecco, well regarded sparklers from Spain and Italy, respectively, for other times of the year. The holiday season is Champagne season, a time to treat yourself and loved ones to the very best. And there?s no denying that Champagne is the very best when it comes to the art of sparkling wine making...
