VinoGo We live in an amazing age when you can find a gadget for just about anything you need. The wine business must be leading the way because I see new wine products all the time. One of the latest of these must-have gadgets is a wine container called VinoGo. You can find it on Amazon and in some local shops for about $12.

Read MoreThree Finger Jack Cabernet Is No Outlaw
Three Finger Jack East Side Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Lodi Cost: $21-23 I am always on the lookout for new wines, especially red wines.

Champagne Palmer & Co. Brut Reserve, NV Cost: $59-61 We are approaching prime sparkling wine time so I thought I would start sharing some recommendations for sparklers. Of course, I love to drink Champagne and other sparkling wines all year long, but most of us seem to think we need to wait for special occasions to drinking sparkling wine.

Read MoreChateau Peyrassol Rosé Is A Provence Blockbuster
Chateau Peyrassol Rosé 2018, Provence Cost: $25-27 Fall in Augusta is a great time for drinking rosé, so I have been drinking a lot of it lately. And there are a lot of great rosés being produced right now. The best rosé wines are bright, full of fruit and dry or slightly off-dry. Many are not an afterthought to a winery’s portfolio, but a planned part of their program. In many cases the grapes are grown...
