A Final Thought on Nebbiolo…

To wrap up our month of celebrating Nebbiolo, we should take our final words on the subject to look at other Nebbiolo producing regions in Italy and around the globe and what they have to offer. For those seeking the fullest expressions of all the unique terroirs that…

Happy National Drink Wine Day!

While the origins of this holiday are still not fully known, February 18th is National Drink Wine Day.  Allegedly it’s a day to learn about the benefits of drinking wine, but seeing how none of us are doctors or medical professionals in any way, shape, or form, we’ll…

A Guide to Pairing: Nebbiolo

Hey folks, as you may well know by now, we’ve decided that February is devoted to one of our absolutely favorite grapes to gush over and geek out upon: Nebbiolo.  We even made our own hashtag, #febisnebb (feel free to use it yourselves). So with that, let’s talk…

On Nebbiolo

Ahh Nebbiolo… A word to the (wine) wise: Never make the mistake of buying a wine you’re uncertain of just because the price tag is high, often times, you’ll be very disappointed. It has been our experience that in general American consumers are not always well versed with…

Central Valley, CA by cacorks.com

Our good buddy John at California Corks has another wonderful video for you to check out! If you’ve ever wondered what the landscape of the Central Valley wine growing region in CA looks like, this is a great visual depiction.

Often overlooked for the more “desirable” Napa Valley or Sonoma visual landscapes, the Central Valley has produced some incredible wines, in a region marked by brown grass (most of the year) and pock marked tree sets (as you’ll see in the aerial views from John’s video).

As well, he gives you a look inside and around a few wineries from the region, all of which can be found on his site’s large winery database.

Cheers, and enjoy the video!
