Chocolate_layer_cakeSince last year, Lenn at Lenndevours has spearheaded a great concept called Wine Blogging Wednesday and the fun results of latest tasting are posted here.  I have been remiss in not joining in yet ... but this is going to change next month, I guarantee (looks like way too much fun to miss!).

For those of you interested in joining the fun, Lenn has the specifics on the next event (September 7) here -- a chocolate cake pairing, mmmmm ...

Recommended books on wine

  • Andrea Immer Robinson's excellent teach-yourself course on wine
  • The other great wine & food pairing book on the market
  • One of the two best wine & food pairing books on the market
  • Encylopedic reference tome on all regions and wines. Very educational.
  • Well-written and very informative.
  • A great compact reference book -- extremely helpful when trying to decipher wine labels in other languages.
  • Easily digestible sections for each micro-region in the world. Fantastic maps
  • The gold standard -- read this cover to cover and you'll know more than most wine shop employees

Great wine shops

  • Vintage Wine Merchants
    More than a destination shop -- you can easily spend the whole day talking with Alex, Joe, Mike, Harry and the gang and learning a ton about fine wine. Santana Row wouldn't be nearly as much fun without their shop!
  • K&L Wine Merchants
    Great selection and newsletter. One of the best-designed wine websites around.
  • The Wine Club
    Some real hard to find gems, good futures prices and a great newsletter.
  • Joseph George Wines
    Think about it -- how many wine shops do you know that are 3rd generation family-owned, provide you the owner's name and phone number on their website (and invite you to call for assistance in selecting wines), and are only open noon-5pm Monday through Friday ...! A sign of how well the shop is doing.
  • Vin, Vino, Wine Bottle Shop & Tasting Bar
    Tucked away on California Ave. in Palo Alto, this is truly a shop for the connoisseur -- not as comprehensive as some of the bigger shops, but they more than make up for it with deep collections of exceptional red and white Burgundies. Their newsletter is required reading each month.
