WINE OF THE WEEK: Domaine Huet Vouvray Petillant Brut

WINE OF THE WEEK: Domaine Huet Vouvray Petillant Brut In the Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc is an incredibly versatile grape, producing dry whites and a whole range of semi-sweet to luscious sweet wines. Producers there also use it to make a sparkling wine.

UNCORKED: She's a doctor first, then a vintner

In these high-flying days, it's not unusual for a winemaker to bring in a spring 2010 vintage in, say, Argentina, then jet up to California to bring in a fall 2010 vintage there.

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2004 Terre de' Trinci Sagrantino di Montefalco 'Ugolino'

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2004 Terre de' Trinci Sagrantino di Montefalco 'Ugolino' Montefalco is a vertiginous hill town in Umbria famous for Sagrantino di Montefalco, a full-bodied red made from the Sagrantino grape. The 2004 Ugolino from Terre de' Trinci is stupendous, a deep-flavored, fleshy Sagrantino lush with the tastes of blackberry and earth. Its tannins are big, but softened, and it has a finish that just doesn't let go. It's a big, gentle bear of a wine.

UNCORKED: Discover Carmignano: Distinctive Italian wines are made from sangiovese and cabernet grapes

Carmignano — don't feel bad if you've never heard of it before. Though winemaking in this part of Tuscany dates to ancient times, Carmignano (kahr-mee-NYAH-noh) is one of the smallest wine regions in Italy, with some 279 acres and only 13 producers.

These beers roll with sushi

Every sushi restaurant worth its weight in roe offers a few dozen varieties of raw fish, but the beer selection is rarely so diverse.

Craft booze earns cheers: Micro-distilleries exploding in popularity across America

Craft booze earns cheers: Micro-distilleries exploding in popularity across America Bubbling and steaming, it looked like something from a witch's cauldron. It certainly didn't look like it would become the clear liquid destined for martini glasses throughout Wisconsin and the Twin Cities.

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2009 Chateau des Jacques Moulin-a-Vent

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2009 Chateau des Jacques Moulin-a-Vent This year's Beaujolais Nouveau is about to be sprung on the public with much hoopla. While the festivities are fun (not to mention a great marketing ploy), there's more to Beaujolais than Beaujolais Nouveau.

UNCORKED: Quelling the fire: The spark of Asian dishes demands a considered choice

UNCORKED: Quelling the fire: The spark of Asian dishes demands a considered choice Beer became my automatic go-to whenever the menu was Asian, especially spicy Asian, after I was burned too many times with wine.

Warming up to pumpkin beers

A year ago, while touting the merits of Great Lakes' Nosferatu red ale as my favorite fall beer, I took a shot at the autumn seasonals brewed with pumpkin. Why? Well, they contain pumpkin.

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2009 Château d'Epire Savennieres 'Cuvee Speciale'

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2009 Château d'Epire Savennieres 'Cuvee Speciale' In the Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc produces some fantastically alluring wines, among them Savennieres from a small appellation in the Anjou region. I've always loved Château d'Epire's crisp, minerally Savennieres, but the 2009 "Cuvee Speciale" is something else again. Two things make it different from the regular cuvee. The vineyard's soil is black slate and, instead of the stainless steel owner-winemaker Luc Bizard uses for his regular Savennieres, for this one he uses the traditional chestnut foudres, or casks.

UNCORKED: The Mondavi legacy continues

Mondavi has been a name to know in California wine since the early 1920s, when patriarch Cesare Mondavi moved from Minnesota to Lodi and began buying, selling and shipping grapes around the country. Today, his descendants are working on various ventures that should keep the name Mondavi and wine synonymous well into the 21st century.

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2009 Panizzi Vernaccia di San Gimignano

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2009 Panizzi Vernaccia di San Gimignano Tuscany isn't exactly known for its white wines. But San Gimignano, the medieval hilltown bristling with towers, is ground zero for Vernaccia di San Gimignano. The appellation is tiny, just the commune actually, but a few top producers such as Giovanni Panizzi prove that it's possible to make a thrilling white from the indigenous Vernaccia grape.

Whites never go out of style

Can you drink white wine after Labor Day? Well, do you still put ice in your Dr Pepper? Still sip your martini frigid — shaken or stirred with ice?

UNCORKED: The essence of Tuscany

Italian wines still make me nervous, with all of the country's regions and subregions; the plethora of hard-to-pronounce grape names; inconsistent labeling, with some wines named for the region, others for the grape; and quality rankings that may or may not be applicable to the bottle you're about to buy. Sound confusing? You betcha.

WINE OF THE WEEK: 2005 Comte Leloup du Chateau de Chasseloir 'Cuvee des Ceps Centenaires'

Muscadet is the classic Loire Valley white to drink with oysters at one of the gorgeous tiled turn-of-the-century brasseries in Nantes. Made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, Muscadet is the very definition of crisp.
