11Our many thanks to Robin of Flying Fish for donating her time (and her beer) to last night’s Happy Hour. The pairings were tasty as usual, so let’s not delay: Exit 4 with Challerhocker: We started off with a bang, welcoming customers with Flying Fish’s 9.5% American Trippel. Bananas and cloves, as expected, are apparent [...]

But there are specific ways in which a wine’s flavor can be unpleasantly altered. Hunter and I encountered such a bottle of Rioja, intending to complement the wine with cheese. Instead, [...]

16by Joe Colosi In honor of their second place finish in this year’s Euro Cup, we opted this week to drink German Riesling. I prefer to drink Riesling before or after a meal, and with the right cheese, it can play a part in a tasty appetizer or dessert. Hunter and I, with special guests [...]

19by Joe Colosi This week we tasted a delicious bottle of Schioppettino, a wine making a comeback after nearly being destroyed by a debilitating insect epidemic in Europe over a hundred years ago. The grape produces a medium-bodied dry table wine. We attempted as many pairings as were needed to find the right combination of [...]

31by Joe Colosi Sauvignon Blanc, one of the world’s most well known white wine grape varietals, is often drank within under four or five years. It tends to provide a tasty accompaniment to chicken and seafood dishes. Hunter provided a unique example from Touraine and, as usual, we drank and ate cheese until doing so [...]

13by Hunter Fike Sangiovese is one of the most commonly consumed wines in the world, and yet it is also one of the most under-appreciated. As the principal grape of Chianti, it is often associated with mass-produced table wine that comes in a jug and is hung above the bar in a wicker basket. However, [...]

03by Joe Colosi Sometimes drinking wine for two hours after work is a real drag. But we managed to have a good time when our friends Jim and Kristina Burke stopped by with two bottles of red wine. Both of this week’s pairings are available at the restaurant James, located on 8th st. between Christian [...]
