By Henri Schock
Our favorite corkscrew. We all have one, and without it we would be lost looking into an empty glass of nothing (unless you find a screw cap, of course). But once that cork has been pulled, what do you do with the bottle? Well, drink it of [...]]]></description>

Time to MAN UP
Whether you’re into the vino, or into the booze, you can get your high-society drink on in a big way with wine cocktails. No ordinary hooch, wine cocktails expand far beyond the sangria and mimosas you’re used to on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
Author A.J. Rathbun has devoted one of his [...]]]></description>

SAPOLIL CELLARS
PAPA LOVES MAMBO
Art is just so damn subjective, wouldn’t you agree? There’s really no other way to start a thought when hoping to discuss objectively the merits of an “artist series” wine label such as the one above by Walla Walla’s Sapolil Cellars. While there are some timeless pieces that we all seem to [...]]]></description>

Trust Cellars
When we go to pick out our Label of the Month, it typically involves fussing through the isles of a Whole Foods, moving from the elegant-and-blasé of classic Euro-packages to homogenized, animal-driven, rainbow-color-paletted garbage that has been making the Aussie’s millions since the first magnum hopped off the boat. Then, after the mind’s canvas has been put through [...]]]></description>

You spend way too much time online, and you know it. You’re pretty sure there’s a clinical condition for what’s become an illness; but you’ll never admit a problem, and neither will your doctor, who’s also online way too much. So, being as you’ll probably check your email after reading this magazine, why don’t you add these wine blogs to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Positioning Washington among the Nation’s top wine producers and consumers
We in Washington are typically very proud that we’ve become the second largest wine-producing state in the country, behind California. And, really, that is something to be proud of. No one would have imagined it thirty or forty years ago, except maybe for Walter Clore himself. We have discovered, though, [...]]]></description>

Beresan 2006 Carménère

Working in the retail wine industry, I have about zero tolerance for another wine label with an animal on it. I will, however, make a notable exception for the Beresan Carménère.
The inclusion of an animal on this label is not a marketing vehicle dreamed up in some conference room brand-building session. [...]]]></description>

Ok, ok, so we’ve talked about Riedel’s blind tasting glasses in a previous issue, but it just begs to be brought up again during this season of gift giving. Rather, this glass is so badass that it actually threatens to be mentioned again. Sexy, sleek, and commanding only respect, this unique stemware can take your [...]]]></description>
