A winery disappears from a freebie Sonoma map. Why? And is that really free?

Think about your wine habits next time you hit a restaurant or wine bar. If you think you can handle it, a full bottle is always a better choice.

As my wine experience has matured, I have come to the realization that in addition to its many attributes, wine serves a precious ornamental function. It’s not there to just drink, but to look at and admire.

Can a white wine be drinkable after more than half a century? The general answer is no. Sauternes is an exception, as two bottles from 1962 and 1953 prove.

It is difficult to add up how much one is imbibing when receiving multiple small pours. This makes wine tasting dangerously deceptive. 83 tastings in two hours equals five bottles of wine. How do I do it?

A most unusual wedding gift, 6 liters of Bogle wine, patiently awaits an occasion to be unveiled.
