	<description>I&#039;m Robyn Tinsley and WineSkinny.com is where I write about the wines that intersect my life, meals, travels and interests. After more than a decade of writing about wine in a more general way, I am focusing on the things that matter to me now: natural, whole, seasonal foods; my progression toward some kind of vegetarian/vegan lifestyle (but I cannot even imagine giving up cheese); learning to live in the moment; and the wines that somehow connect all those dots.</description>

Here are a few highlights from that day: SPARKLING Adami NV Prosecco Treviso Brut Garbèl ($15). A pretty, frothy mouthful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My summer white wine obsession (this year) seems to be based mostly in Italy, including a classic favorite &#8212; Soave. This dry, crisp, white from the Veneto region is made in large quantities across a notably-expanded territory. Quality can vary depending on exactly where it&#8217;s from within the region (Soave is a great example of just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently devoted the better part of a month tasting red wines from all over Spain. The idea was to up my familiarity with the dizzying array of wines and styles and regions from this rapidly-evolving corner of the wine world. There&#8217;s a lot of experimentation going on here &#8212; with blends, with oak, with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a longstanding and deeply-felt love for most everything Italian &#8212; but Prosecco has always been a bit of a trouble spot for me. Too often overly sweet and flabby, not to mention headache-inducing, I generally avoid Prosecco in favor of Cava when choosing an everyday bubble. (Which is not to say that ALL [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, I spent an inordinate amount of time tasting all types of Sherries for one of the WSET diploma exams. And although I had tasted Sherries in the past &#8212; and always felt generally positive about them &#8212; it wasn&#8217;t until I spent a couple of months drinking them regularly that I really became [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For my money, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is the best deal around. You can be pretty sure what you&#8217;re getting &#8212; as much as any other category I can think of, and the quality vs. price ratio simply cannot be beat. Now, if you&#8217;re not a fan of this style &#8212; aggressively gooseberry/grapefruit/tropical (all at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lake County California has been getting some play in the press lately, I notice. Some self-generated (I think there&#8217;s an event coming up), but also some renewed looks at this warm, inland niche east of Mendocino. I would venture to say that it has not enjoyed an exactly stellar reputation in general, being mostly known for simple-ish Zinfandel [...]]]></description>

Alois&#8217; great-great-grandfather Johann broke into the wine trade in the early 19th century, and the wine business has stayed in the [...]]]></description>

		<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>
