While Argentina does mostly red wines, it does produce some whites including Chardonnay. Argentina is the fifth largest wine producer in the world, and the Mendoza area in which this wine originated is one of the world's largest wine producing regions.

Tasmania is considered Australia's youngest winemaking state but its winemaking history is somewhat complicated. The first vines were planted in 1823 and then some fifty years later winemaking virtually stopped until the 1950s. Many people feel that Tasmania may become an excellent area for produc ...

A Wine Lover's Weekly Review Of $10 Wines - A White Blend From Calalonia By: Levi Reiss | - This is one of our very first Spanish wines, and if memory serves me correctly, our first wine from Catalonia, a region of northeastern Spain known for fine wine and lots more. But you say, Rene Barbier sounds French. Yes, it's true; Monsieur Barbier left France for Spain in 1880. His winery specializes in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. It now belongs to Freixenet, a very high volume Spanish company, that does a lot of sparkling wine such as the well-known Codorniu. This particular wine is m ...

In fact it is actually the most exported Italian wine and is widely consumed within Italy as well. We're talking about half a million hectoliters per year, or to put it in simpler terms, more than 65 million bottles a year. This particular bottle was made by a family winery founded back in 1957 in The Marches region, neighbor to the north of Abruzzi.

A Wine Lover's Weekly Guide To $10 Wines - A Kosher Cabernet Sauvignon From Chile By: Levi Reiss | - Chile can be an excellent country for Cabernet Sauvignon. This one comes from the Central Valley viticultural region, which is Chile's oldest and most traditional wine producing area. That region is divided into four areas, including the Maule Valley, which is not particularly distinguished, perhaps not surprising given this wine's modest price tag. In a way it is less expensive than at first glance because it's kosher, and kosher wine production and distribution inevitably involves additional c ...

The grapes for this wine come from the northern regions Upper Galilee and Golan. The geography is hilly and rocky, and the soil is thin all good signs for winemakers if not for ranchers.

Lazio, which is also called Latium, is home to Rome. Many people feel that Latium's wines tend to be mediocre because Rome is a huge market and Romans, or perhaps the millions of tourists, will drink anything. Such sweeping statements may be dead wrong. I'm not necessarily a fan of Chardonnay, but I tend to prefer it to Latium's native white varieties, Malvasia and Trebbiano.

Pinot Noir can be a fine grape; I often am fond of it. I like its classic tastes of earth and mushrooms and the fact that it isn't very tannic. And it's considered food-friendly. The site where it's made is really great, located at the conjunction of the Pacific and the Indian ocean. It's not only beautiful (what vineyard isn't?) but it's said to be a winemaker's dream.
