November 25, 2009. At Downtown Wine and Spirits. A few episodes of Wine Library TV. And an article in Wine Spectator, to put together my own primer to Thanksgiving wine pairing. The good news about nearly every flavor being represented means it’s hard to go wrong. My number one rule of wine pairing is especially relevant here: forget the rules, eat what you like and drink what you like. Now to examine, evaluate, and hopefully improve on a few traditional pairings:. So what is going to be on my table?

Last Day of School – The Southern Rhône | Balthassar
https://balthassar.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/last-day-of-school-the-southern-rhone
Last Day of School – The Southern Rhône. November 23, 2009. Just like that, it was graduation day. The third and final class of my three week adventure of the wines of southern France at Jonathon Alsop’s Boston Wine School. I consider myself to be part of the new generation of wine people Gary Vaynerchuk. Is as much of an authority to me as Robert Parker, and The Second Glass. I couldn’t think of a better way to end school than with the Rhône this only reinforced my conviction that this is the absolute m...

The wine and food blog of the Boston Wine School. Wine, Food, And The Pursuit Of Happiness. Monday, August 19, 2013. Just Around The Corner: In Love With White Wine. The history of wine is the history of people saying it will never work. Just 25 years ago, California wine was OK. But not thought by a lot of people to be "real" wine. Sure, you could drink it, but if it was a special occasion, you'd always go with the Euro option until well into the 80s. Let's not even talk about China. The distance traver...

Back to School – Wines of Provence | Balthassar
https://balthassar.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/back-to-school-wines-of-provence
Back to School – Wines of Provence. November 10, 2009. I recently had the opportunity to go back to school, Jonathon Alsop’s Boston Wine School. Coming in, I would say I was moderately familiar with the wines of Southern France in general, but only minimally so with those of Provence. I knew it was in the Southeast corner of France, made a good amount of rose, and a wine called Bandol from the Mouvèdre grape that I had had a few of and was quite fond of, but that was about it.

Petite Terroir: April 2010

Soul is more important than anything, and soul is expressed as a trinity of family, soil, and artisanality." - Terry Theise. Thursday, April 22, 2010. On Monday, I attended the Winebow tasting of Austrian wines held at Hearth Restaurant at 1. Ave and E 12. One producer I was not very familiar with, but was happily acquainted was Weingut Bernard Ott. The tasting featured a Gr ü. Ner Veltliner and a Riesling by this producer and I must admit, I was a happy taster. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pric...
