The Perils of Posting On April Fools? Day
Back in the day, I participated in April Fools pranks with posts that hopefully brought a smile to the face of the reader. But after one such post fell flat, even garnering angry comments years later, I decided to hang it up. Face it, wine is not that funny to begin with and most wine […]

Mumm: Bubbly from France and Napa
The Mumm family founded the G.H. Mumm champagne house in 1827. In 1876, as a tribute to some of their most prestigious clients, G.H. Mumm decorated a few of their bottles with a crossed red silk ribbon as a reference to the Legion of Honour. Today, G.H. Mumm is the leading champagne brand in France […]

ALT Hotel :: Toronto
It’s a boutique no frills hotel, but still has the bells and whistles. ALT boasts of individuality, as expected of a boutique hotel. If you are stopping over for a night in Toronto this is the perfect place. You easily get into the shuttle train and after a quick ride walk across and right into […]

Dates Set for Wine Spectator Grand Tour 2015
These stand-up/walk around tastings provide an outstanding opportunity to taste benchmark wines and meet winemakers and winery owners. Wine Spectator editors attend, a light buffet is provided and you get a souvenir Riedel glass.
If you're looking to efficiently and enjoyably build up a frame of reference for some of the world's great wines, these Spectator events are the best I've found. If you're a wine enthusiast it's hard to imagine not feeling like a kid in a candy store. And if you just like the taste of wine there's a ton of really good stuff to enjoy.
Las Vegas is a familiar venue for the Grand Tour - here's a review of the 2012 event.
I attended the Chicago event in 2013 and had a great time. Here's a review of that one.
I also attended the 2011 event in Boston. Please come back to Boston next year Grand Tour!
Dallas is an intriuging location to me. Like Chicago it's conveniently served by major airlines so it should be relatively easy for people from all over the country to get to.
I'll ping a few of my wine pals on Twitter right now to see if we can finally converge on one of these and meet in real life for the first time after comparing notes over the years...
Question or comments on the event or venues? Let me know.
Question of the Day: Which location works best for you?

The Liberty Hotel ? Boston, Massachusetts
Luxurious?yes. Elegant?yes. Comparable to any other hotel?nope. The Liberty Hotel is a perfect storm of all the elements you would expect from a historical landmark turned luxury hotel. The Liberty Hotel is ideally located in the heart of Boston?s Beacon Hill neighborhood near just a stones throw from the Charles River and its Esplanade. What […]
