Read MorePasqua Family Breaks The Rules To Make Red And White Stars
Romeo & Juliet Passione Sentimento IGT 2017, Italy Cost: $15-17 One of the exciting things about the world of wine these days is how many producers are breaking the so-called rules of winemaking. And some of them are even breaking the real rules laid down by authorities. Their efforts are good for us wine consumers because we can try so many new variations that wouldn’t be possible if everybody...

Dow’s 10 Year Tawny Port, Portugal Dow’s 20 Year Tawny Port, Portugal Cost: $36-38, $64-66 When it comes to picking favorite wines I think it’s wise to be careful.

Read MoreCupcake Vineyards Offers Two Tasty Chardonnays
Cupcake Vineyards Chardonnay 2017, Monterey County Cupcake Vineyards Butterkissed Chardonnay 2017, California Cost: $12-14 One thing I try to preach year after year is that an inexpensive wine isn’t necessarily a cheap wine. While it is generally true that as the cost of the wine increases, the quality goes up, price isn’t the determining factor in the quality of the wine. You can find great wine at any...

It is an unusual blend of Riesling (80...

Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Napa Valley Cost: $49-51 One of the great benefits of writing about wine is I get to try many different wines.

Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon fits nicely into that category. The winery is among the dozen or so that I...
