The weather is perfect to fire up the grill, invite some friends over, and have your first backyard BBQ of the season. As you saw in the short video above, I brought three wines into the CBS12 WPEC studios today to offer you suggestions to make your grilled food and wine [...] Three Great Wines For your Valentines, one a rose sparkler from South Africa, another a rose from France, and the last a rose from Oregon. Great options for any wine lover. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been host to five amazing food and wine events at Fort Lauderdale’s Himmarshee Bar and Grille. The old addage “Time Flies When You’re Having Fun” certainly applies in this case. We’ve managed to bring together some of the most fun people South Florida has to offer in one amazing place, and introduced them to gastronomic delights and wine pairings to tantalize their palates. Wrapping up my television appearance on CBS 12 WPEC West Palm Beach, discussing four different wines perfect for your holiday party and any budget! Do you enjoy wine? When was the last time you had a Petit Verdot? How about Petit Sirah? If the answer is anything other than “Last week”, watch this video wine review of Lange Twins Family Winery & Vineyards 2007 Generations Petit Verdot Petit Sirah blend.

I hereby apologize for that, and am quite grateful for the opportunity to try some very interesting wines from my home state. A review of Dr Loosen’s 2008 Dr L Riesling from Germany. Come see if this white wine should make an appearance at your next summer party! There is no doubt that when the weather heats up, we reach for white wine more frequently than red. As luck would have it, the PR folks of Wine Of Chile sent me some samples of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc wines to try and talk about. This week we got to try the 2008 Undurraga T.H. Sauvignon Blanc from San Antonio, Chile. It’s no secret that I am having a spring love affair. I’m loving wines from Chile and they’re loving me back! I of course thank Rob Bralow from Wines of Chile for sending me 12 wines to review at my leisure and this wine is one of those wines. Rob made it clear that I was free to discuss whether or not I enjoyed the wines, or not blog about them at all. I appreciate his understanding that there is a chance some of the wines wouldn’t be to my liking. Mar de Casablanca 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Walking into the house, Robin’s first comment was not “Hi Honey” or even “Welcome home”.
