So you think you're a badass? Then you better be prepared to drink some badass wine. In fact, there's almost a hierarchy of badassery involved as we progress down this list, so be prepared.

They say you are what you eat. In this...

We are all guilty for these mistakes wine drinkers make because we all make them. I know some might argue that it should just be about the wine and how it tastes, which is true, but by knowing, recognizing and avoiding these 7 Deadly Sins of wine, you might enjoy...

Everybody has a suggestion. Is this what we're thankful for? Mass confusion when faced with a roasted bird? I know how the news cycle works and I know the best way to get attention is to be outlandish, which probably explains why every year there is a new "best" wine...

Okay, so you know it's late to be just now looking for wines for Thanksgiving. What were you thinking? Well, never fear, finding a great wine for Thanksgiving is simple. You just have to think of the big picture now, since it's probably too late to track down specific recommendations....

Somehow, we're already finding ourselves in August and that means the high point of summer vacations. Here at Snooth, it seems like every week somebody different is out of the office. So for all of those who are traveling, domestic or abroad, we have put together a roundup...

It's time for Round Four of our probing investigative series on Fast Food and Wine Pairings! I'm actually beginning to understand more about these pairings. Well, more about fast food to be specific, and how they in turn affect the wines. Our lineup this time around focused only on different...

A lot gets written for restaurateurs about how to put together a great list, but very little get written for consumers regarding how they can recognize that great list. So many metrics that are frequently used to measure the quality of wine lists, number of listings, depth of listings, range...

It's no surprise that we gravitate towards cool, crisp whites and chilled rosés during these warm summer months. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy, a wine's quaffable nature is precisely what we're after!

But as much as we enjoy a chilled glass (preferably al fresco) on its own,...

The food truck craze is only growing in size and popularity across the country, so how to differentiate yourself among the mobile pack? Well, introducing booze into the mix is always one easy way.

We recently found out the the New York-based Pera Turkish Taco Truck will be...

We are at it again! Looking to pair your favorite foods with wines that work. It's not always easy and some people don't even think it's worth the time. The truth is we can't always sit down to a crown roast, but that should not mean we can't enjoy a...

In the beginning it was Cristal. Then Ace of Spades. So where his hip hop culture turned to now for refreshment? Well I guess the recession really has hit everyone hard, since the new darling isn't some super premium Champagne, it's not even sparkling...

So what could be better than a Big Mac? A Big Mac and a glass of wine! Well, we can try to take mere takeout and transform it into a meal (or at least we can tell ourselves that). Seriously, what's wrong with pairing wine with some Mickey...

Don't believe the hype.

So a quick review of first to market reports in the US and Europe on 2007 Barolo reveals gems such as "buy them fast as they will never be this cheap," a litany of "best wine ever from this producer"-type comments, more gushing prose...

With the spring teasing us with the warming rays of the sun, it's no surprise that people are asking once again about what white wine they should be trying. Some recommendations are pretty easy to make. In the New World, for example, telling someone about New...

Last year I was fortunate to attend a seminar here in New York City entitled, "The Multiple Personalities of Oregon Pinot Noir." It was in part responsible for my essay on vintage variation, which I think is worth a read. The core of the day's event consisted of...

Wine is supposed to be fun, right? Well, that's what I've been preaching, and while I fully recognize that there is a time for solemnity while exploring one's cellar, let's face it, it's really difficult to make your wine stand out on retailer's shelves unless you go one...

Almost all wine scoring systems purport to reflect the quality of a particular bottle of wine. Wine reviewers like to fool themselves, some very effectively, that what we do is somehow objective.

It's true that there are objective observations that can be made, using scientific analysis, regarding...

So, here we are back again with a few more common questions about wine. We all have them -- these came from a dear friend -- but sometimes we're just a bit too intimidated to ask. I mean, who is going to risk the ridicule of one's sommelier...

With Valentine's Day upon us, many people will be analyzing every detail to ensure a perfect evening. From the flowers to the chocolate, menu to music, every element will be considered and reconsidered for maximum love impact.

If we were honest with ourselves, our wine choice would be...

Earlier this month in Wine Trends for 2011 (Part 1), I set out to illustrate some of the less believable wine forecasts for 2011.

For better or worse, I got too invested in each silly forecast and spent so much time refuting them (it was fun and easy!)...
