I could go for one of those regional wines with some Manchego cheese right now… (well, maybe not until after work!)

Made me think of the song, Shenandoah…

I had my hubby come in and listen to your “uncorking/pouring” sound effects the other night to show him why I enjoy your updates so. Thank you!

I’ve always liked the theme song from that movie. Thanks for the vintage photo, too!

Dear Gretchen,

Your experience with Whole Foods is different than mine. Here in Washington, D.C., with easy access to Virginia wine and with the Finger Lakes within half a day’s drive, their stores feature few if any U.S. wines from places other than California.

Best,

Mark

Comment on Bourbon or Wine? by The Norton Wine Travelers

What a nice article bringing out not only that Kentucky has wineries, but produces the true American variety Norton (Cynthiana) grape wine. There are now twelve Kentucky Norton wineries and two more coming on board in the near future. Most of these wineries produce Norton wines from in-state grapes and one that \imports\ their grapes from Arkansas. After tasting 113 different Norton wines from ten states, we have especially enjoyed two of the eight Kentucky Norton wines we’ve tasted from Lover’s Leap Winery and Elk Creek Vineyards. River Valley Winery also makes an enjoyable lighter folk Norton wine. What made visiting Kentucky wineries so delightful was the people we encountered. Genuine smiles sell so many bottles and this was especially true at Lover’s Leap Winery. FYI, there are to date (10/2011) 248 Norton wineries in 24 states.

Comment on Learning About Wine with Eric Asimov by Benji - The Margaret River Guide

I agree with the emotional connection with the wine. That is why I love having wine with food, hits all the senses and great satisfaction.

Too funny. At first I thought you meant Isaac Asimov, the scientist/sci fi writer… (No disrespect intended toward Eric Asimov.) Zymurgy has always fascinated me (and makes a great Scrabble word…) Here’s to \wine appreciation\ in the truest sense of the phrase.

Regarding the French wine — Catherine Seda from Balzac was pouring for Planet Bordeaux. If you don’t get the info this weekend, contact them next week and they will hook you up.
