Goodness in a glass

It's Belgian chocolate; it's red wine. It's ChocoVino!

Thanks to wonderfully generous friends, Jaime and Marcio, for this delicious gift!

Things We Like: Biltmore Reds

During a recent visit with my folks, we trekked out to Asheville, NC and toured the Biltmore Estate (more on that another time). Post tour, we checked out the Estate's winery, and enjoyed a free tasting of most--but not all--of their reds and whites.

Sparkling and premium wines cost extra. We tried some of those, too.

My favorites out of the bunch:

• Biltmore Sangiovese


• Biltmore Limited Release Tempranilla


• Biltmore Estate Chateau Reserve Methode Champenoise Blanc de Blancs, 2006 North Carolina, Brut

Highly recommended!

Get it while it's ... room temperature.

I'd heard there was a global oversupply of red wine. Great news for consumers!
