Red Or White? The Thanksgiving Dilemma Part 2, White
Red Or White? The Thanksgiving Dilemma Part 2, White
Nick Passmore chooses Pierre Sparr Gewürztraminer 2011 as a great white wine to serve with Thanksgiving turkey. He also highlights the wine as this week’s Five Star Nick’s Wine of the Week. “There’s the delicate balancing acidity to add a refreshing crispness to a juicy front palate brimming with honeysuckle and white summer fruit – melons, white peaches, yellow plums and nectarines, with pretty floral elements peaking out from behind all this succulent fruit. With its mouth-filling richness it will be the perfect accompaniment for even the gamy flavors of dark turkey meat.” To read more, click here.

American Sparkling Wine Comes of Age

Schram, was produced the same year Cooking Light was born, 1987, and then the wine snoozed for more than two decades in the cool, deep stone caves of Schramsberg winery in Napa Valley…The ability of a California sparkling wine to age as well as a French Champagne is a kind of victory lap for U.S. winemaking….Today, a number of the French houses make bubbly in California, but Schramsberg and the Davieses still rule—on top of their game.”

New Zealand’s Best White Wines

"In 1986, the Brajkovich family’s San Marino Vineyards was rechristened Kumeu River Wines and a new era was born. Chardonnay became the focus, and today, the wines are often mistaken for Burgundy in blind tastings. Originally, there was a single Estate Chardonnay, but following the Burgundian meme, winemaker Michael Brajkovich, MW, has introduced a number of single-vineyard bottlings. There’s also a Village bottling, which corresponds to a French villages-level wine. It features less oak and a lower price tag than the other Chardonnays. Although the various...

FrontRunners: From the Robb Cellar
"Royal Tokaji is of relatively recent origin, but the traditions that inform its dessert wines date back to the 17th century, when battle prevented vintners in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region of northeastern Hungary from harvesting their fruit. The result was a late-harvest wine of startling beauty that, later, Prince Ferenc Rákóczi II of Transylvania would use as a diplomatic tool in his dealings with Peter the Great of Russia and Louis XIV of France. With the Communist takeover of the Hungarian government in 1949, production of these wines degenerated; however, after the revolution of 1989, author and wine critic Hugh Johnson...
