Weekly Wine Show is becoming Court of Wine!
Court of Wine
After more than two years away, I (Tony) am coming back to podcasting with my Wine in the News style show. I had intended it to be a spin-out from this podcast (which would also change), but with Betty not wanting to host a podcast currently, I will be renaming Weekly Wine Show to Court of Wine and will host the show here so back episodes can remain available. I hope you enjoy the new format! Cheers!

Wine Recommendations
Risata Brachetto d’Acqui 2016 - priced around $16.
- Risata is a larger producer in the area - in fact they produce the #1 seller of Moscato d’Asti in America
- Aromas of candied red berries and orange
- It’s sweet with medium plus body, medium acidity with flavors of red berries and apricot preserves
- This wine has enough acidity to stand up to the sweetness but not syrupy
- It’s very lively, bright and a real treat
- It paired well with dark chocolate so this wine can handle more intensely flavored desserts
Rinaldi Brachetto d’Acqui 2016 - priced around $30
- This sweet wine has aromas of black cherries and strawberries
- It’s medium body, medium acidity and flavors of dried apricot and red berries
- This wine was lighter in flavor, more delicate than the previous wine
- We would recommend pairing with milk chocolate, fruit tarts and creme brulee.
