Weekly Wine w/Gary Vaynerchuck: Cazin Cour Cheverny Cuvee Renaissance

Gary's explanation why:
Anyone who has watched my wine shows over the last 5+ years know that I'm constantly pushing people to try new and different wines. This wine may transcend that mission better than any other. Romorantin is an ancient varietal dating back to the 15th century, and François Cazin is "the man" in Cour-Cheverny.

Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc Review

We taste this great bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Nobilo.

Weekly Wine w/Gary Vaynerchuck: 2008 Parxet Titiana Brut Rose Pinot Noir Cava

With the summer weather you're going to want to drink something fresh and lively. Cavas are produced in the same method as Champagne at a fraction of the price. Many can be hit or miss, but this one both has a friendly price tag and impressive structure for its price point. Lounging by the pool or cooling off after mowing the lawn…this wine is a no brainer.

Weekly Wine w/Gary Vaynerchuck: 2007 Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

For all you longtime Italian fans out there, you very well know that about 10 years ago, Tuscan wines were as hot as Saved by the Bell. In the last fews years, popularity has waned... not only are sales down, but prices have followed suit for many high end wines, especially in the Super Tuscan and Brunello categories.

Totally Random Wine Review

We try the new offering from Adler Fels Winery. This one is called "Totally Random Wine". I loved the name so much, I'm re-naming our wine review segment after it. Its a damn good wine too! I give it an A. For its 9.99 price point - you can't go wrong! Find out more about it here. 

Grace Hill Winery Tour and Tasting

I love finding little hidden gems on the road. That is exactly how I would describe Grace Hill Winery in Whitewater Kansas (just outside Wichita). We tried their great wines and met the vintner with loads of passion for what he does, David Sollo! He was super friendly and shared with us the story of the winery and where it is headed. If you are ever in this area of the country and looking for something other than a Wichita Restaurant, this is a "Must Visit" location in my book.

Malbec is the Food Truck of the Wine World

This is one of my favorite drinking wines.  What do I mean by that? It’s a great wine to go with almost any occasion.  Whether it’s steaks, seafood, spicy food, sweet food, you name it; this wine usually will go with it. It’s one of my favorite’s bottles to sip on the patio on a nice summer afternoon or evening.
