Smith-Madrone Riesling 2009

I have to admit that I don’t drink a lot of white wine in the dead of a Minnesota winter. But when I saw a sample of the almost mythical Smith-Madrone Riesling, I had to see what was in the bottle. The last time I tasted Smith-Madrone Riesling was a tank sample with winemaker Charles Smith. I [...]

Remembering A Cornerstone Of My Wine Education

I usually don’t have the time to read the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal until Sunday along with the morning paper.
