Tips for crossing borders with wine
Saturday September 15th 2007
I'm planning to take a wine-touring trip to the Okanagan in British Columbia this fall. I've been told that my spouse and I can bring back only two bottles of wine. Is that correct?
How to store Port
Tuesday September 4th 2007
Should I store my Port wines differently than my other wines? I have a temperature-controlled wine cabinet but have not seen any information on whether Port should be stored differently to allow it to age properly. And at what temperature should it be stored?
Know when to hold 'em
Thursday March 15th 2007
Q. I have several bottles of red wine that are about 20 years old and am concerned about holding them too long. Is it time to drink them? Or can I expect them to last a bit longer?
How is Hinzerling's '82 Cab doing?
Friday December 15th 2006
Q. After my father passed away in 1998, my brothers and I split up his wine cellar with help from friends who claimed that they "know wine." While I have been enjoying many of the French wines that made up the majority of my father's collection, I do have several bottles of a Hinzerling 1982 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. It seems my father bought several cases of this, so my brothers and I each have a full case. Unfortunately, I cannot locate any information about this wine. I'd like to donate it to a local nonprofit for an auction/dinner, but I'd like to know if this is a "good" wine. Do you know anything about this label?
