  Doktor Weingolb: For starters, Quebec's premier wine writer Michel Phaneuf publishes Le Guide du Vin -- more or less required reading for shoppers at the government-run provincial wine seller, SAQ. The book, which weighed in bigger than ever last fall for its 25th anniversary edition, is traditionally released in early November, offering value-based guidance on virtually all of SAQ's general repertory and very many of the spécialités found in select stores across the province.

Columbus Foodie: For those of you who are not familiar with ice wine, according to Wikipedia, it’s a “dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, so the result is a concentrated, often very sweet wine.” (via Cosmos)

  Doktor Weingolb: (Rarely does the New World obscure the Old World in my wine repertoire -- I think this must've been the only exception to that.) It's great to have finally tasted the European stuff with this bottle of Graf Hardegg Riesling Eiswein Steinbugel Seefeld Weinviertel 2002, which is quite a mouthful -- both saying it and drinking it.

  Vinography: A Wine Blog: The grapes are carefully hand harvested (with gloves on, both to protect the hands and to protect the grapes from the heat of naked skin) and then lightly pressed in a pneumatic press. The resulting juice ferments in simple steel tanks and after fermentation goes as far as it can, the resulting juice is gravity fed into small old oak barrels where it ages for several years before release.

  The Caveman's Wine Blog: We, a table stocked with sommeliers, drank it last night with a chocolate fondue, and it worked superbly. It’s caramelized , nutmeg infused plum and fig flavours, when overlayed with the chocolate was as you can imagine, deliriously good. (via Cosmos)

  Becks & Posh: Follow English-Girl-Abroad, Sam Breach, on her culinary journies, mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area, but also on her travels further afield, whilst she plays at being amateur restaurant critic, wine taster, food photographer, cocktail connoisseur, party planner, good food forager and practising home cook, with trusted French advisor, Fred, by her side.

Serge the Concierge: The theme offered by our friend from Michigan The Kitchen Chick is Ice Wines/ Icy Desserts. In a twist on the topic, I actually picked an Ice Wine Vinegar. (via Cosmos)

Good Wine Under $20: If you just pull out 3 miscellaneous whites that have been cluttering up your wine rack for the last few months and hope for the best, there will be unpleasant results as friends and relatives start topping up glasses mixing the German riesling with the Napa chardonnay. If you are having a buffet, however, you can put out what you like, but I recommend pulling all the corks in advance so people can (in true buffet style) browse the offerings and drink what they want rather than settling for the sauvignon blanc because that's the wine that's open.

 [Lennthompson.typepad.com] LENNDEVOURS: Proposal for a Wine Blogging Day: It must come from a New World wine nation that isn't the U.S., which leaves you places such as Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and Chile. Once you drink the wine (hopefully with friends!() you should post a picture of the bottle/label and write a little blurb with your impressions of the wine, what food you either did or would pair with it and, if possible, post an "official" tasting note for the wine.
