This month, I am leading the #WorldWineTravel Writers in a celebration of Carménère. You can read my Preview Post here. You will find links to all of my colleagues’ articles at the bottom of this post. I look forward to...
This month, the writers with #WorldWineTravel are exploring Chilean Carménère. (You can find my invitation article here.) The writers will come at this topic from many directions, sharing their unique perspectives on this wine, its history, the various styles, and...
Tenuta Licinia This is a story of reinterpretation, a story of elevating the subsoil, allowing it to speak through the wine. It’s a story that can be a bit confusing, too. When I received these samples of wines from Tenuta...
Chilean Carménère If you are like me, the first wine you think of when you think of Chile is Carménère. This French grape came into its own here in South America on the West side of the Andes Mountains. Carménère...

I wondered if we were ever going to make it to Pasetti’s Testarossa vineyard and estate in the Pescara region of Abruzzo. This was our last stop on this Press Trip to Abruzzo, and the vineyard was inland, in the...
Trentino-Alto Adige North and West of the famous Veneto, you find a region with a long name. Perhaps not as flashy as the Veneto, which has the stunning cities of Venice, Padua, and Verona, and without those well-known wines like...
It was a drizzly morning. It had been beautiful when we left the coast of Abruzzo, in Silvi and headed toward the inland region of Teramo, but as we drove further, the clouds increased, and here and there, rain would...
