Which Italian Wines to Try if You Like...

June 22, 2020 Leslie Rosa
What Italian wine to try if you like.jpeg

While you certainly don’t have to become a sommelier to enjoy or understand Italian wine, I hope my expertise will help direct you to Italian wines you will love. I’ve decided to pick a few of the most famous grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, etc. and “translate” them into Italian. Enjoy the exploration!

Wine of the Month | Coastal Flavor

July 30, 2019 Leslie Rosa

A couple of weeks ago, I was hanging out in coastal Maine, visiting a a good friend who I met the first week of our freshman year at Sarah Lawrence College and has been a pen pal—with REAL letters!—ever since. (Heart eyes emoji.) On my last night, we stopped in at Maine & Loire, a curated natural wine shop in Portland which celebrates, as the owners put it, “alive and soulful” wines. This month, I really wanted to feature a red wine that would be delicious chilled, so Peter Hale, one half of the husband-and-wife team, directed me to this juicy, adult-fruit-punch kind of Sicilian wine that would be perfect on its own (as my friend and I tried it), or paired with chicken on the grill and vegetable salads. Your call!
