Wine and the Presidents: Try These 3 Presidential Wine Selections

“Terrific article. So interesting to learn about presidents and the US wines they have chosen. Your list of upcoming topics looks fascinating. I am especially interested in the information on chocolate and wine pairings! It sounds like a great opportunity for a party.” - L. S.

8 Favorite Wine and Travel Movies

“Some great stuff here. I know that Bottle Shock isn't a great movie, but I really love it. There are just so many excellent actors here that it is hard not to love. Uncorked is wonderful. Walk in the Clouds gets me even though it shouldn't. I love Sideways & it made a friend of mine so much money that I no longer believe in karma. I keep meaning to watch The Secret of Santa Vittoria, but my family wouldn't be interested. Looks like a cool wine movie. Wine Country is fun. My old book store partner loves Year of the Comet. I love Penelope Ann Miller as much as the next guy, but that one was cheesy even for me...& I like Walk in the Clouds.”- P. A.
