wine whine

I am still just getting used to the idea of putting my thoughts about wine out there in such an informal way. So although I write my column for Berkshire Homestyle magazine every month, I have hesitated writing my blog. I have tasted so many nice wines since I last posted something, any of which could have been described here; and I have read some good and some lousy articles about wine which could have been discussed here, but...
So, I will try to give a bit more thought to giving a bit more time to this blog. I would like to mention the cooking class at Cafe Adam in Great Barrington, which is coming up; and I think a short discussion of Beaujoulais is also in order. So perhaps in the next post I can deal with one of these issues.
As I am writing this, I am putting off working on my column for Berkshire Homestyle for November about wine for Thanksgiving. As you will see the question of which wine on that particular Thursday is not too easily answered.
Also in the last column Madiran in the Southwest of FFrance was written Madrian throughout the article. This was my fault. Never-the-less if you are in the Hudson Valley, Capital Region, or Western Mass, do pick up a copy and learn a bit about an interesting wine region.
