Attending the Boston Wine Expo, I am fortunate to meet many interesting winemakers from near and far. One of the wineries of note was Domaine Costa Lazaridi, which is located in Greece. While visiting their booth, I was able to sample their Amethystos Red and Domaine Costa Lazaridi Syrah. Both of these reds were delicious and had a great depth of flavor.
After speaking with Chrissa Giatra, Marketing and Public Relations Manager, at the Expo, I discovered that Domaine Costa Lazaridi was more than just a winery. In addition to a vineyard and winery, they also have a reception area

Turtle Creek Winery

The Boston Wine Expo can be an overwhelming event to attend, with hundreds of wineries and more than one thousand varieties available. However, even with numbers as large as that, there are individual wineries that shimmer and stand out like a bright star on a clear winter night. One of those wineries is Turtle Creek Winery in Lincoln, Massachusetts.
Turtle Creek Winery was not the biggest or oldest of the wineries in attendance. In fact, the winery was established in 1998, and today produces approximately one thousand cases each year. What makes this winery unique is their persistence in

I have tried sake several times. With full apologies to Dr. Seuss and Green Eggs and Ham:
I have tried it cold,
I have tried it hot,
I have sipped it in pretty glasses,
I bravely tried it as a shot.
I would not drink it again,
I would not take any more sips,
I firmly refused to try it
I announced with hands on my hips.
I held this position on sake for quite some time. Although I had tried a variety of sakes, none were enjoyable or tasty. However, last weekend at the Boston Wine Expo, I finally found sake that was enjoyable.

Sassy Bitch
by Michele on January 27th, 2010 | Wine
Nothing like an exciting title to get some attention! That is exactly what those two words did for me on Saturday. Attending the Boston Wine Expo, I had spoken with many wineries and distributors and was starting to feel a little overwhelmed with the data. Even though I love wine, I really was thinking it was time to talk about something else, when I noticed the fuschia and black sign with the title, "Sassy Bitch". As I enjoy moments of sassy-ness, I decided I could muster the energy to talk to one more winery before moving onto food.
