What's the best way to start learning about wine?
Drink up! Remember every smell everywhere you go and store them in your memory bank as a reference next time you put your nose in a glass.
What's your favorite late-summer wine?
Rosé ! I would drink it all year long if I could get nice young roses, preferably with my colleagues on the terrace at Catch, right in the center of the bustling meatpacking district.--the view is ridiculous.
Tell us about a memorable wine experience.
I was told to eat the dirt at Tignanello, in the Chianti Classico region, to truly taste what the wine would taste like...
What's your favorite wine for a versatile pairing?
Champagne--Krug is my favorite. You can drink it cold and bubbly with oysters or bright flavors, pour it into a wine glass and drink it with less bubble with rich, white fish; or decant it and drink it like an old Burgundy with savory meats like veal, or, my favorite, with biscuits and fried chicken.
