Last year, I had the opportunity to travel to Italy to taste the wines of Oltrepò Pavese. I discovered that these sparkling wines are based on Pinot Noir, they are made in the traditional method, like Champagne, and most importantly, they are an Italian hidden gem that bubble lovers across the world need to put on their radar. In the August issue of Galveston Monthly magazine, I introduce these wines to my readers.
Sandra, advocacy is beautiful! I've been exploring the expensive mine-field of French Bordeaux wines lately (Not disappointed either), and yesterday I came across Château de Bonhoste Grand Vin 2009 Bordeaux Supérieur, about $15, which falls into that category of quality wine at a value price. There were two or three people who encouraged me to try French wines (you were one of them)and I owe them a debt of thanks.
