Fringe Wine: Marquette - Minnesota, USA
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2013/05/marquette-minnesota-usa.html
Thursday, May 23, 2013. Marquette - Minnesota, USA. The story below first ran. In the Midwest Wine Press. About two weeks ago. I have added a review of a wine that I was able to try from the grape, but the bulk of the article has remained unchanged, with only a few additions and minor edits. Mark runs a great site over at MWP and I'd encourage everyone to go check it out*. For example) and another vinifera variety, Schiava Grossa. Thanks for share . June 26, 2013 at 11:34 PM.

Fringe Wine: An Update on the Lack of Updates
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2013/07/an-update-on-lack-of-updates.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. An Update on the Lack of Updates. A few months ago, I took a trip up to Montreal with the Taste Camp crew to sample the wines of south-eastern Canada. It was a fun trip, and I came back from it with a few dozen new grapes and a case and a half of wine to write about. I was excited, and started working my way through the bottles as soon as I got home. My appetite was gone. I was sleeping poorly when I slept. None of the things I had previously enjoyed doing seemed worth do...I'm n...

Fringe Wine: Newport Vineyards - Landot Noir
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2010/12/newport-vineyards-landot-noir.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Newport Vineyards - Landot Noir. Today's wine is another local specialty. Located just a few minutes from downtown Newport, RI, Newport Vineyards. These wines may be available in some liquor stores or restaurant locations around the Newport area, but your best bet is probably going straight to the winery. I picked up my bottle of the 2009 Landot Noir at the winery for $25. Information on visiting the winery can be found here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Refosco dal Ped...

Fringe Wine: July 2014
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Stuff that's not really about wine. The frequency of these messages has picked up in the last week or so, and so I had a look and noticed that my last post was just over a year ago. I knew it had been some time last summer, but I didn't know exactly when, and I certainly didn't know that the post's anniversary had come and gone. There are very few psychotropic medications that I've not been on at one time or another. Many of them I've been on more than once. At best, they'...I was...

Fringe Wine: St. Laurent - Burgenland, Austria
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2011/11/st-laurent-burgenland-austria.html
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. St Laurent - Burgenland, Austria. Today we head back into Austria to take a look at the St. Laurent grape. Like seemingly every grape that we take a look at here, St. Laurent's past is somewhat murky and a little controversial, though recent research has helped to shed some light on certain parts of its parentage and history. The American Journal of Enology and Viticulture. Austria's signature red grape (the other parent is Blaufränkish. David Noyes/David Noyes Wines. 3) Wine ...

Fringe Wine: Blaufränkisch/Lemberger - Two US Versions
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2011/01/blaufrankischlemberger-two-us-versions.html
Friday, January 28, 2011. Blaufränkisch/Lemberger - Two US Versions. In Hungary which is just a translation of Blaufränkisch into Hungarian, Burgund Mare in Romania and Gamé in Bulgaria due to an old mistaken belief that it was identical to the Gamay grape grown in Burgundy. Recent genetic testing has shown that it is not even related to Gamay but is rather the offspring of Gouais Blanc and an unknown Frankish grape. From Newport and not had any complaints). Blaufränkisch has always reminded me a bit...

Fringe Wine: Blauer Portugieser - Weinland, Österreich (Austria)
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2011/05/blauer-portugieser-weinland-osterreich.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Blauer Portugieser - Weinland, Österreich (Austria). Let's talk about the Blauer Portugieser grape. Of the two words in the grape's name, Blauer may seem like the one that needs the most explanation. Not true. Blauer simply means "blue" and is a fairly common prefix for German/Austrian grape names (think Blaufränkish. Or Blauburgunder). Of course, that may immediately lead to another question: why does a grape called "Portugieser" need a Germanic prefix? Well, it doesn't. I suppose...

Fringe Wine: The Wines of Vino Z Czech - Moravia, Czech Republic
http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-wines-of-vino-z-czech-moravia-czech.html
Tuesday, May 21, 2013. The Wines of Vino Z Czech - Moravia, Czech Republic. Wines from their portfolio, but today I'd like to tell you a little bit about Vino z Czech and also a little bit about Czech Wine in general. Map of Czech Republic with Moravia in red. There really is no single dominant variety in the region, and most of the grapes grown have been brought in from other countries. For white varieties, Müller-Thurgau. Leads the way with 11.2% of total plantings, followed by Grüner Veltliner. The ot...
