From Brooklyn Guy’s Food and Wine Blog, Neil urged us to explore the more affordable coast of Burgundy. Rather than going for the Côte d’Or, we were instructed to examine the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais. Since he did such a good job explaining the nuances of the different regions, I’ll dive right into the […]
Another winery I visited back in October was Arista Winery. Founded by fellow southerners (Texans, to be exact), the McWilliams family is fairly new to Westside Road in Healdsburg. They purchased the land in 2004 and now make about 4,000 cases, 90% of which is sold out of the tasting room. Al and his son […]
