Big Bold Reds

NYC Wine Company @ 330 W 11th St, New York, NY

Wines from the "New World" are easy to like. Places like California, Australia, and Argentina, tend to produce wines which are fruit forward and often, quite rich when compared to those from places like Burgundy in France, or Rioja, Spain, both from the “Old World”. Ultimately, these big & bold bottlings have become extremely popular due to their pure hedonistic pleasure, yet they can also tax the wallet. Furthermore, wines fashioned in this...

Focus on Red

NYC Wine Company @ 167 W 23rd St, New York, NY

Even though white wines can be as "serious" and as complex as their counterparts in rouge, reds beckon to us in ways whites often do not, and I, too, fall prey as much as anyone to this call. If you welcome the bite of winter solely to find guilt-free solace in a rich, peppery Shiraz, or if you can find succor in a glass of red at day's end, never mind the season nor the forecast, this class is a must. During this one evening seminar we will explore...

The Best of Summer Wines

NYC Wine Company @ 167 W 23rd St, New York, NY

A combination of whites, rosés, and a bottle or two of red.  This is the best of summer, bottles bristling with acid and energy, wines both delicate and bold, but all designed to deliver pleasure.  White wine is often viewed as a beginner's beverage, training wheels perhaps.  But nothing could be further from the truth, as white wines can mean serious business.  True, some are boring, plain, and uneventful.  We won't...

Mountain Wines

NYC Wine Company @ 330 W 11th St, New York, NY

When talking about wine, people love to throw around the term ‘complexity’. But what exactly is it, and when you taste it, how do you know you’re tasting it? Of course, like beauty, all things subjective will always be in the eye of the beholder. But as a rule, a wine is considered to be complex if it offers multiple flavors simultaneously, if it changes over time, and if you can still taste it, long after swallowing. I can still taste some...

Exploring Cabernet Sauvignon

NYC Wine Company @ 330 W 11th St, New York, NY

This grape variety is known the world over. It forms the backbone for many of the densest, longest-lived reds anywhere on the planet. Its wines tend to be big, full-bodied, and in need of at least a few years in the cellar (or closet, under the bed...). Despite these characteristics, however, this can be a versatile grape. This is exhibited most clearly when tasting a line-up of wines from numerous locales; Cabernet Sauvignon, when grown in South...

South of the Border

NYC Wine Company @ 330 W 11th St, New York, NY

Not the Rio Grande, nor the fireworks bonanza tucked between the Carolinas, but rather the equator. We'll taste and discuss well known regions such as Mendoza and Barossa, while also highlighting the lesser known, many of which provide some of the world's best wine values today.  Malbec from Argentina burst onto the scene about ten years ago, and is loved by many, and for good reason, yet once you try Carmenere from Chile, you may rethink the...
