Annie is always filled with great places, and things to do while touring. I am looking forward to your wines, and the tour information. It would be great to be on tour with others who have the same interest!

I think a letter and email campaign is a great idea. I'd sign it and get it signed.

Thanks for the support and a great article in the Providence Wine Examiner. I've heard from several people who have asked me what they can do about it. Carol from Colonial Wine and Spirits has drafted a letter for her local state representative. I s…

I have to think that in this current economic climate, small businesses have to find new ways to connect with customers. As owners and managers of wines shops, we have to have alternatives for our regulars other than nationally distributed wines for…

Salice Salentino's are made mostly with Negroamaro and you can get a great one from Cantele for well under 15. Aglianico's are very nice but I'm still heavily into Puglia and Sicily. If you want a true Barolo like experience at a bargain price try a…

NO MORE WINE DINNERS AND WINE TASTING EVENTS!

There is a recent bulliton sent out from the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulations which will, in all honesty curb and restrict wine dinners and events. It has 'interpreted' the current law on wine tastings to forbid retail accounts to aid in the promotion of any wine dinner or event, taking a large incentive for the distributors to be involved. It was written and enforced on behalf of a large do nothing retailer, no longer to be named who has no participation in true wine culture and… Continue

Southern Italian Wines

I've just got to say and I'm sure I'm saying it to no one that Southern Italian wines are about to explode. Primotivo and Negroamaro are priced right and present amazing intensity if lacking in complexity. Add Sicily to the mix and we have a category of wine that, like Rhone in France, might rise up and rival the moneyed and collectible wines to the North. Has anyone had a Salice Salentino lately?
