David Kohl is pleased to support local Long Island retailer Point Lookout Wine & Spirits where he discovered this true gem : Walking Tree Cabernet Sauvignon aged in French Oak, from The Alexander Valley within California’s Sonoma County. Produced by historic Geyser Peak Winery, savvy consumers will enjoy this offering priced under $29. #wine #winepodcast #walkingtreecabernet #geyserpeakwinery #alexandervalleywine #sonomacountywine

Today David Kohl highlights a 2016 Bordeaux offering from Chateau de Foucaud produced in the region of Cadillac, known for its ability to deliver top value to wine consumers. With the current range of euro/ dollar exchange rate + tariff rates, European imports today are 30% greater than just a few years ago. So this 10 year aged Bordeaux gem that would be retail priced under $20 in The USA is a true gem. #winepodcast #wine #bordeauxwinevalues #cadillacwineregion #chateaudefoucaud

David Kohl fondly recalls his recent travels through France’s Loire Valley, where Sauvignon Blanc reigns as the prime white wine grape. While most consumers identify Sancerre as the selection of choice, pricing is key and those seeking value are wise to discover Touraine’s regional offerings such as this crisp white wine from Touraine marketed by Mary Taylor. #wine #winepodcast #sauvignonblanc #touraine #tourainewine #whitewinefromfrance

Many NYers know that Il Bacco Italian Restaurant in Queens has sponsored the construction a shrine to Italy’s Modern Saint Padre Pio.

The tasting experience reflects a rich golden color highlighted by almond-marzipan notes, pairing perfectly with Il Bacco’s special halibut + scallops dish. #winepodcast #padrepio #pietrelcina #organicwine #queensnyfoodie #winetasting
