Napa Valley, California - $17
It’s finally here. Labor Day Weekend; the unofficial end of all things summer. In a few days it will no longer be appropriate to wear white. Good thing this fashion rule doesn’t apply to wine because we have an awesome bottle that is perfect for summer but can be enjoyed all [...]
Our New Year’s Eve in August wine dinner and party at The Savant Project, last Friday was a big success. To a sold-out crowed we poured and drank all different kinds of Italian sparkling wine provided by Mionetto. All in all, we had a blast and can’t wait to host more events at this great [...]
The “winery” is a 18 x 12ft building on a hill in California’s Napa Valley. The entire vineyard is one acre, or for a more accurate measurement, 80 vines. Each year Screaming Eagle produces somewhere between 500 and 700 cases of wine, which, by comparison to even modest sized wineries, is minuscule. Basically, this stuff [...]
There are a number of websites focused on helping connect retailers with customers.

Of course, this isn’t the most comprehensive list, as not all stores subscribe to these services. In the end, this [...]
After sampling the new Vinotini’s at Fleming’s my companion and I decided to dive into the two sparkling wine cocktails donning the list.
Romance: This drink literally looks and tastes like a blue lightsaber. Served in a tall and skinny Collins glass this is the drink that would make an already drunk MIT student freak out. [...]
We at The Second Glass held our monthly “management meeting” (really just an excuse to drink more wine) at Coda, a new-er restaurant and bar in Boston’s South End. We finished the night with the 2006 Qupé Syrah and like falling again for a long lost lover, we realized we needed the Qupé back in [...]
La Mancha, Spain - $11
We decided to pick a wine that will help get you through the rest of the summer. It’s crucial to have a good, cheap drinking wine that almost anyone will like. Versatility is key so you can take a few bottles to the beach, drink it in the park or just [...]
Navarra, Spain - $13
Second Glass staffer purchased this wine for the sole reason of the label reading “kickass.” At a recent tasting we held this badboy lived up to its name and was one of the crowd favorites.
This wine hails from Navarra, Spain, which spans from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the Ebro Valley. [...]

Hailing from Pomerol in the famed Bordeaux region of France, Château Pétrus is the kind of wine that drinkers are lead to believe, can make dreams come true. This stuff is what the “build a wine cellar to impress your friends”, type of person spends years searching for. Yes, it’s probably very good wine but [...]
