The first time we tasted Vin Santo was in Tuscany at a friend’s castle. The rich, exquisite taste, as well as the majestic ambience, made Vin Santo forever memorable. We reacquainted ourselves with Vin Santo at the end of a lovely wine pairing lunch which included San Felice Belcaro Vin Santo Chianti Classico DOC 2015 at Peasant Restaurant in New York. For those that have never tasted Vin Santo, it is a traditional Italian sweet wine that is served at …

Love the crispness of Sauvignon Blanc? We recently tried 90+ Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Lot 222 and were surprised at its elegant aromatics with lime, grapefruit, and herbal notes on the nose, which continued on the palate for a clean, crisp, and delectable finish. With a price of around $14/bottle for French Bordeaux, which tastes much more expensive, it makes a perfect summer everyday wine. We paired 90+ Cellars Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc with our recipe for Luxury Experience – Stuffed …

We “discovered” San Felice Toscana A.D. 714 wines several years ago, so when we had the opportunity to meet and have lunch with their Head Winemaker Francesca Giuggioli for the San Felice Chianti Classico estate, in New York City at Peasant Restaurant owned by Chef Marc Forgione, of course we said “si, grazie.” Discussing San Felice wines with Francesca, paired with delectable Italian cuisine was the perfect way to spend a Monday afternoon learning about their wine over enjoyable conversation. …

With just under 200 bottles to be experienced, …
