New Years Resolution

Happy New Year wine lovers! Here’s a great resolution for 2015. Why not try drinking less, but better and maybe experimenting a bit more. This means looking for wines from specific regions like Napa Valley or Bordeaux. Vie for wines labeled “Chateau” or “Domaine” indicating all the grapes came from one property. Wines with specific grape varieties on the label, like cabernet sauvignon or chardonnay, guarantee a certain taste profile and are usually a good bet. Vintage-dated wines, especially from better years, showcase a single year’s quality. And don’t be shy, expand your repertoire by checking out wines from countries like Portugal and Hungary, that are less known to you. There are certainly some great offerings to be had.
