Stephen Carrier on 2013 Bordeaux… “I never compare one vintage to another, just like I would not compare my children!”
I think that the 2013 Bordeaux vintage, due to the weather conditions, will produce an exceptional vintage for white Bordeaux wine. The 2013 white Bordeaux wine should turn out better than what was produced in 2001
Manfred Krankl on Grenache “Grenache has a mouth-coating, all enveloping, long palate presence. The nose and the palate are in synch delivering a cascade of pleasure. Grenache doesn’t just wink at you, it delivers the goods!”
The humble cheeseburger is the perfect and potential, quintessential, American, summer dish. They are easy to make and it’s the perfect wine and food pairing for Cabernet Sauvignon too!
