Wine Line - Wine Education and Tasting Podcast

This week I will discuss the best way to buy wine… by getting to know your local wine merchant. Try several merchants then, patronize the one that most closely appeals to your tastes. Make friends and you may be invited to special tastings and be able to get some special deals. When you have had a great dinner but haven't finished that tasty bottle of wine, how do you keep the remainder to drink another evening? I will discuss some very simple methods for all us "waste not, want not" folks.Then we will go to Abruzzo, Italy to discover a great value wine, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Make it a point to go to your local wine merchant and ask him to point you to some good examples of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo to try this weekend.
