		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t blame people for being confused about many of California&#8217;s appellations &#8212; most are pretty broad and diversified to the point that they offer little insight to consumers trying to glean information from a wine label.  Examples of a region and grape variety making a practically can&#8217;t-miss combination are fairly rare when it comes to the wide and varied [...]]]></description>

Now &#8212; here&#8217;s the skinny on just a few of the many, varied and exciting wines that I think are proving Alto Adige&#8217;s growing reputation as the source for Italy&#8217;s best white wines. Some I tasted there, some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been an embarrassment of Italian riches around here lately &#8212; with loads of tasty wines and charming Italian men to present them. (In other words, all is right with the world.)
I recently met up with winemaker Lucio Mastroberardino of Campania winery Terredora di Paolo. Over lunch and wines, I learned more about this reemerging [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to a combination of the efforts of a diligent PR rep (thanks Thea!) as well as a couple of happy coincidence moments, I&#8217;ve tasted a handful of Picpoul de Pinets lately.
Pic what, you say? Picpoul de Pinet. PICK-pool de pin-AYE. (I&#8217;ve never been too great at that phonetic spelling business, but I think that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

In the last few years, there have been a lot of new names and wines coming from Sicily &#8212; many of which are very good and helping to shatter the longstanding, oversimplified image [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[France&#8217;s Loire Valley is probably best known for two of its white wines: Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume &#8212; both Sauvignon Blanc-based wines, and both often fetching premium prices. But outside those two communes is a host of white wine choices made from Sauvignon as well as Chenin Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne and even some Chardonnay (usually a small percentage in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Barolo can be a difficult topic to write about &#8212; if only because so many of these wines have price tags and a decidedly limited that really put them in reach of only a small percentage of wine-buying consumers.
That being said, Barolo is one of the world&#8217;s great wine regions &#8212; and has been for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Alsace wines all year round &#8212; but there&#8217;s something about spring that seems to particularly suit these aromatic wines. Maybe it&#8217;s the wafts of jasmine in the air &#8212; at least in my backyard, which makes me unreservedly happy. Or perhaps it&#8217;s that the silky, flavorful lushness of these wines seem to suit the [...]]]></description>
