Tune In to Wine with David Kohl : Bordeaux, Burgundy &; Beyond

When visiting Atlantic City, be sure to stop in at BAR 32 adjoining The Iron Room for a decadent artisan chocolate experience: we recommend a pairing with classic Fonseca Port Wine. Another visionary development by Mark Callazzo! #atlanticcitynj #portwine #chocolatedessert

The future of Atlantic City N.J. can be viewed through the lens of The Iron Room, both a foodie destination and a venue with wine discoveries such as Sabroso, a summertime chilled red from Monterey California rich in berry fruits that pairs perfectly with the spicy Oaxaca Meatballs & BBQ Chicken. Hats off to Mark Callazzo a visionary real estate developer who is revitalizing Atlantic City’s profile by building cutting edge must-visit dining options. #atlanticcitynj #njfoodie #njfoodies

Atlantic City NJ’s historic prohibition era vibe is alive and well at The Knife + Fork Steakhouse. The impressive wine list includes 2017 Chateau Siran, a classic Margaux offering that we pair with an inventive Short Rib Bourgogne dish & a side of Goat Cheese Au Gratin. While not a classified-growth, Chateau Siran provides a silky smooth Margaux experience. And although 2017 was not a heralded year in Bordeaux on release, this vintage is drinking beautifully today, delivering gems when selected as value choices from restaurant wine lists. #margauxwine #bordeauxwine #steakhouse #chateausiran #atlanticcitynj

Most wine consumers are familiar with the range of low-priced wines grown in Chile, but would be surprised to learn that Chile also produces “Clos Apalta” which has been heralded as one of the finest wines in the world. Owned by France’s prestigious Lapostolle Family (creators of Grand Marnier liquer), Clos Apalta is aged 27 months in oak and is composed of Carmeniere grapes which were originally a species native to Bordeaux. With an herbaceous structure & leafy undertones, Clos Apalta is an exotically satisfying choice for wine lovers willing to spend in the range of $150+. #closapalta #carmeniere #redwine #winetasting

Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley winegrowing region is home to legendary Chateau Musar, also producing an acclaimed 2nd wine known as “Levantine de Musar” that we enjoy today at Enology Wine Bar with a flatbread garnished with ground lamb + goat cheese. As a blend of red grapes Cinsault, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon: this unique offering can be served chilled during the summer months. #chateaumusar #bekaavalley #lebanonwine #winebar

Enology Wine Bar on Long Island features a Pinot Blanc selection from local vineyard Lieb Cellars located in the rustic North Fork town of Cutchogue. The citrus toned fruit structure of this crisp white wine leads to a perfect pairing for summer crab cakes. #liebcellars #winebar #pinotblanc #winetasting #longislandfoodie

Bordeaux’s compact Pomerol Region is highlighted by its legendary blue clay terroir. Grand Cru Classe vineyard Chateau Le Gay & its acclaimed 2nd wine Manoir de Gay reflect as classic Pomerol offerings produced from Merlot + Cabernet Franc. #pomerol #chateaulegay #grandcruclasse

Portugal is an often overlooked wine region that produces white wine perfect for summer seafood pairings. Vinho Verde winegrowing region on the Atlantic Coast is renowned for indigenous grapes such as Alvarinho + Loureiro that create blends of fresh and energetic white wine that retail under $15. #vinhoverde #winetasting #alvarinho

Italian winemaker Bruno Fina honed his craft with Super Tuscan creations, and today is a pioneer in developing “Super Sicilian” offerings by blending Sicily’s indigenous grapes with French grapes such as Merlot to produce a non- traditional Rose varietal that we taste today as a perfect summertime selection. #brunofina #supersicilian #sicilyrose
