Okay, I admit it. When I'm shopping for wine I do not often pick up a bottle that's under $10.But this one, a 2005 Bonizio Sangiovese, was from the Maremma district of Italy in southern Tuscany.

By Julia TimakhovichFamous chefs and winemakers who visit our city are usually guarded from the public, protected by PR, assistants, and expensive entry tickets to fancy events.Then there are very famous food industry folks, those masterminds you wouldn't mind paying to meet, who wander by on rare occasions without much marketing or warning.That was the case last Thursday at BRIX on Broad, who hosted a free book signing and wine tasting event with chef and restaurateur Lidia Bastianich.BRIX on B ...

Here at Zachys we've been debating which region is the most underrated wine country. My vote is for the Adriatic Coast of Italy - there are fantastic wines being produced in The Marche, Abruzzi, Molise and Puglia.

[Note: This article ran in today's Gloucester Daily Times.]Champagne, especially from premium houses like Charles Heidsieck and Krug, is a pricey endeavor. It helps to share, both the experience and the expense. Which is what I plan to do with my book club next week when we meet at Cornerstone Books in Salem to discuss our pick of the month: The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It. Each month the club comes together to sip wine that is somehow relevant to t ...

(Originally published on April 23, 2008)It wasn't that my mind needed to be changed about Italian reds, exactly. I liked them just fine, especially when I wanted something that's generally assertive and powerful on the palate, something that's bold and full-bodied, something that hits me like a ton of bricks but in a good way."Finesse" and "elegant," in other words, were not two of the first words that came to mind when I thought of Italian red wines.Not, that is, until tonight.Tonight I met Pao ...

I know ArtBar is in a hotel lobby (at the Royal Sonesta on Edwin Land Boulevard in Cambridge).I know it's tiny tiny (a few two-tops, a few more tables for four, seating at the bar, and a communal high table for eight or so).I know these places normally get a bad rap.But ArtBar is tastefully done (the art, the bar, and the food). And the wine – I chose the 2003 Kendall Jackson Hawkeye Cabernet Sauvignon – is awesome.What more could I want?Besides, isn't it time to rethink hotel lobby restaurants ...

I'm sorry to have to say this. I love many wines that fall in this category, I have many friends that produce or import said wines ... but for me the Super Tuscans are the most overrated category there is right now.
