Read MoreCalverts Alexander Valley Dinner Another Spectacular Night
Balance was the word of the night when Alexander Valley Vineyards’ Max Vater paired six of his wines with incredible food from Craig Calvert. The wines were in balance and the food balanced with the wine. The only thing out of balance was fun, as guests at the wine dinner had way more fun than you could have expected. The wine dinners at Calverts are always spectacular, but this time the food was even...

Read MoreHot Enough for Some “Summer Love”
Victory Summer Love Ale |Downingtown, Pennsylvania IIt was 96 damn degrees on Saturday and 98 damn degrees on Sunday. It’s not supposed to get this hot in May. I have been rebuilding our back deck for Mrs. Dan’s birthday (which was a month ago–I got a bit behind).

Read MoreComplex, Elegant Beringer Chardonnay A Top Choice
Beringer Chardonnay 2015, Napa Valley Cost: $23-25 Any list of top wines is arbitrary, just by the nature of individual tastes, if nothing else. But we all love lists, don’t we? We especially love lists when we can try the wines that land at or near the top. I even enjoy drinking wines from the same winery, but a different vintage than the award-winner. That’s the case with this week’s wine. Beringer’s...

The Hive celebrated its 3rd anniversary with a Reformation Brewing Tap Takeover. They called it “May the Fourth Be With Brew” So if you figured it out it will be a Star Wars theme affair. The idea for the Star Wars theme came from Reformation Brewing which has done about 10 of them across the state. There was a Light Side and a Dark Side to the takeover. On the Light Side was: Alani “The...

Read MoreDelightful Hess Pinot Gris Tasty With Shrimp Stir Fry
Hess Select Pinot Gris 2017, California Cost: $12-14 It is always nice to find a favorite winery producing a new varietal. That’s the case with this Hess Select Pinot Gris ($12-14). Hess has made a Mount Veeder Pinot Gris available only at the winery. It is a terrific wine, but it is twice the price of this wine. This is the first vintage for the more widely available pinot gris. I love pinot gris, and I...

Read MoreB.R. Cohn Silver Label Chardonnay Great With Lighter Foods
B.R. Cohn Chardonnay 2016, Russian River Valley Cost: $16-18 Most people drink white wine all year, but as the temperature climbs in spring many of us find ourselves reaching for a white bottle more often. That is why you find so many good bottles of white wine popping up now. One of the really nice ones I have come across at a bargain price is the B.R. Cohn Chardonnay. The wine is a beautiful pale yellow...
