First Coffee, Then Tannins (Antonelli Montefalco Recent Releases) | Mark As Read |
It's a wet, chilly, grey Winter morning in San Marco, a locality that sits just outside of Italy's Montefalco and the ridiculously-well-named town of Bastardo. And I've had to wait in the damp cold for a short bit, because Filippo Antonelli is a bit late for our appointment at his family's winery (hey, welcome to […] Grab The 1WineDude.com T...

Thoughts On Instant Pot “Wine” | Mark As Read |
A few of you intrepid 1WD readers have brought to my attention, in whoa-check-this-out-dude! fashion, the intrepid endeavors of foodie David Murphy, who recently blogged about using his popular-with-the-cool-kids Instant Pot to make wine from Welch's Grape Juice. I have some thoughts on this: 1. I admire the gumption, ingenuity, and persistence tha...

Wine And Place And Threats (February 2018 Wine Product Roundup) | Mark As Read |
For February's wine product sample roundup (in which I cast a critical eye on wine-related stuff that isn't actually wine), we once again hit the book shelves, with some mixed but ultimately geekily fascinating results… First up is a long-overdue mention of Maximillian Potter's account of the train-wreck-style-too-crazy-to-look-away story beh...

Drunken Globetrotting Good Ideas (Domaine Bousquet Recent Releases) | Mark As Read |
Anne Bousquet has some of her best ideas when drunk. This isn't something that I have experienced firsthand, mind you, but comes by way of her own admission (during an NYC media lunch at which I was recently a guest). And it's the opinion of her wine-growing father, Jean Bousquet. More on that later. The […] Grab The 1WineDude.com Tasting Gu...

#FlyEaglesFly (Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut Champagne) | Mark As Read |
I rarely listen to Philly sports talk radio. This is not because I don't like the sports franchises of my adopted-home nearest-metropolitan-city; the only major sports category in which a Philadelphia team isn't my #1 is the NFL (Steelers fan here), and even then the only time I wouldn't cheer on the Eagles is when […] Grab The 1WineDude.com...

A Tale Of Wannabe Abject Hatred (Simonsig Recent Releases) | Mark As Read |
This is a tale of hatred. Well, of wanna-be hatred. I'm not sure exactly why I approached the wines I am about to discuss with you with such abject internal bile. But rage my bile against them I did, although they ultimately showed me who was boss and got my attitude turned around; but I […] Grab The 1WineDude.com Tasting Guide and start get...

Hiatus, And The American Booze Wholesaler Swamp | Mark As Read |
I'd fully intended to provide some peripatetic and yet somehow also sublimely insightful wine review action for you this week (and I've much to tell you about my recent jaunt to Israeli wine country, too).

It’s Cold Outside And… Holy Crap! I Actually Review Some Samples! (Tasting Two Under-The-Radar Gems) | Mark As Read |
If it feels like forever since I've actually highlighted something from the wine sample pool in a feature here, that's because in Internet terms, it more or less has actually been forever since I've actually highlighted something from the wine sample pool in a feature here.

For the most recent installment of the Monferrato in the Glass series over at MyNameIsBarbera.com, we provide another deeper dive into the vinous wares of the region, once again with Bava‘s Paolo Bava.

Happy Holidays*, you magnificent lushes! I'm not sure how much time I'll have over the holiday break to post here on 1WD, so here's my version of a Christmas-time-card-thingy.

This *Is* A Tasty Berger! Do You Mind If I Have Some Of Your Tasty Riesling To Wash This Down? (Highlights From Grand Cru Schlossberg) | Mark As Read |
When you're within spitting distance of Kayserberg (quite literally the cutest town in France, an honor it was officially awarded in 2017), amid the picturesque shadows of a castle that dates back to the fourteenth Century (and in which harvests were celebrated), and regularly run into ruins from the early 700s AD, you might justifiably […] ...

Schooled, Off The Court (Talking LeBron James Wine Picks For SBNation) | Mark As Read |
NBA living-legend LeBron James appears to be the real deal. And I'm not talking about his on-the-court abilities, which are justifiably considered among the greatest of all time, or even his acting credentials (I dare you to watch his movie cameos and declare him un-funny), which are quite good. I'm talking about his wine chops. […] Grab The...
