After an inspired trip to Inniskillin for some truly delightful ice wines just over the Canadian border in Fort Erie, I thought we should maybe give the local New York State region it's due. How could we have overlooked local for so long?

I've been totally remiss in posting the results of our box wine tasting, that actually happened last winter. The news is, box wines are back, but they're re-branding themselves as "eco-friendly" - and honestly, these newer box wines taste nothing like their older, better known predecessor Franzia.

A few Napa Valley tastes: Silver Creek Cellars Busy, large tasting area, and I wanna say there was a whopping $20 tasting fee (free glasses, but who needs em?

brian requested a wine tasting that would go well with pie, and actually, i think grenache was a perfect solution! it was not too overpowering for desserts, had a bit of kick, but very easy drinking...thanks so much to diana and brian for opening their homes, and scroll to the bottom for the amazing pumpkin cookie recipe diana found (and baked), and thanks brian for an amazingly savory pumpkin

yup, we decided to mix it up with another beer tasting, this time hefeweissen and flanders red beers. this was an excellent excuse to try out some summer-ish beers before the hot weather hits, to figure out what will work best on the beach/rooftop/fire escape on those lazy weekend afternoons and sultry evenings.says wikipedia about hefe weizen and wheat beerssays wikipedia about flanders red

rioja and ribera del duera both use the same grapes, mostly or all tempranillo with some occasional grenache, and a few other grapes thrown in the mix. using the same grapes, with such different results, has made this a very interesting tasting indeed!some helpful resources on spanish wines:riojaribera del duerothe wine doctor's guide to spanish winesTraditional versus Modern Rioja: Question
