LENNDEVOURS » Vineyard Visuals: Channing Daughters Pinot Grigio, Week 1
From the photographer, Ellen Watson: "Nestled into the leaves on abundant vines, these pinot grigio grapes look like a lush, Dutch still life painting, at Channing Daughters Winery in Bridgehampton, NY." [Link]
~ Through The Walla Walla Grape Vine ™~ » Fast Food and Drive-Thru Wines
In a recent newsletter from Nat Decants, there's an article about fast food and wine. Natalie MacLean, noted wine writer and award winning author, cleverly suggests to us to consider a list of wines that she feels has a “drive-thru” philosophy. I love her idea of pairing fast food with drive thru wines, but Natalie - - I am going ... [Link]
The Pinotage Club » Ses’fikile Has Arrived
Nondumiso Pikashe (pictured right) is one of the four owners of Ses’fikile. “We are a group of black women who want to change the face of wine in South Africa which is male dominated,” she told me. “We want to be brought into the mainstream of South Africa, and that is why our wine’s name is Ses’fikele because it means ...

On the Wine Trail in Italy » A Sea of Affluence
Over the past year a little thread has been drifting past me. I hear a story about a couple going to Italy to spend time on a large yacht, another story about a fellow who travels to Italy with a concierge-in-waiting. A trend, or something that has always been there? It seems there is a whole 'nother Italy for a ... [Link]
El Bloggo Torcido - Twisted Oak Winery » Paging Gordon Ramsay!
Confession: I am actually a huge Gordon Ramsay fan. I am especially a fan of the Kitchen Nightmares show, where he goes in and attempts to turn around a failing restaurant in a week (though Hell's Kitchen has a certain appeal as well.) But that's not the point of this post. The point is to complete a match ... [Link]
LENNDEVOURS » The Finger Lakes Wine Festival
By Jason Feulner, Finger Lakes Correspondent Finger Lakes Wine Country graciously invited me to a "sneak peak" media event last Friday to preview some rieslings that would be featured during the Finger Lakes Wine Festival throughout the weekend. The event was held in the media building on the grounds of the Watkins Glen International raceway, a sprawling circuit-style course ... [Link]
The Cork Board » Veraison is underway in Napa Valley
As hard as it is to believe the summer is flying by and before we know it harvest will be upon us. We always judge the passing of time by the way the vineyards look…and while out on a walk about a week-and-a-half ago we noticed some significant changes happening in our local Oak Knoll District vineyards. The process of ... [Link]
Catavino » What Happens when you put a Rubber Chicken, a handful of Iberian Grapes and some Crazy Californians Together? TAPAS, of course!
If you weren’t already in the know, TAPAS are more than delicious little treats you savor with a glass of Iberian wine. TAPAS is also the name of the Tempranillo, Advocates, Producers and Amigos Society, co-founded in 2006 by no one other than Jeff Stai, owner of Twisted Oak Winery, author of El Bloggo Torcido, and now acting Vice President ...

LENNDEVOURS » Vineyard Visuals: Channing Daughters Chardonnay, Week 1
From the photographer, Ellen Watson: "Appearing to defy gravity, these robust Chardonnay grapes are growing heartily at Channing Daughters Winery in Bridgehampton, NY." [Link]
LENNDEVOURS » New York Cork Club: July's Selections
I try not to spam my own readers here on LENNDEVOURS with talk about the New York Cork Club, the wine club that I run with Greene Grape Wine in Brooklyn. I could (and probably should) tell you much more often about how I pick the wines independently, without the wine shop telling me to pick wines that they can ... [Link]
