Wine Lover's 2012 Calendar

Drink fantastic wine, all year long. Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible, offers hundreds of recommendations for both everyday quaffing and special occasions. Open a bottle of Babich sauvignon blanc—a New Zealand gem that shines when paired with seafood. Looking for a great Rioja? Try Baron De Ley’s Rioja reserva, bursting with luscious cherry, chocolate, and caramel flavors. Plus Getting to Know Zweigelt; Wine Words (brambly: black pepper spiciness, and a bit scratchy in texture); the Traveling Wine Lover; food and wine pairings, including what goes with Girl Scout Cookies; and wine wisdom:“Wine...brings to light the secrets of the soul” (Horace).
