South Africa produces wines that bridge the gap between old world and new world

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.

South Africa has the soil, climate and topography that create the perfect haven for many great varietals to blossom. Bright and lively Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc balance out hearty Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet...

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...

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...
