Wine Blog & Wine Reviews by The WineGuy
A place to keep tasteful wine reviews of my favorite wines. I started posting wine news to my wine blog for you and everyone else, sometimes it there is humor involved because I drank the whole bottle before I posted....hiccupppp!. But Seriously, It has been a few years now and I have had a lot of friends ask me to recommend different wines from Chile or Spain or Italy or California...and then they want to run out and buy them. So I started keeping track of the wines I like and don't like along with some fun wine facts, wine articles and ratings and wine maps. One day I may even offer wine merchandise here at WineGuys.info. I hope I can help you enjoy the art of wine as much as I do.
But please remember to drink responsibly...cause otherwise you'll find yourself with no wine!

Chianti – greatness of the sangiovese grape
Posted on February 22, 2008 - Filed Under Chianti, Wine Articles | Leave a Comment
A humble lesson in Chianti. So, I claim to love wine, but, lets’ be serious, I am not your eloquent professional. I’m just an avid drinker of the ripe stuff….Vino. However, I do like to read about it and I plan to add some character to my blog by posting links to some great educational and worldly knowledge….
Here’s one now…I found this great article which illustrates the art of creating Chianti:
http://www.nytimes.com/Chianti-Article
One of the simplest rules that I will quote below is:
The rules have changed frequently in the last 30 years. Since 2006, Chianti Classico has had to be at least 80 percent sangiovese. The remainder can be made up of indigenous grapes like canaiolo and colorino, or international varieties like cabernet, syrah or merlot.
That’s is something to know..it helps for those vineyards that walked away from classifying thier wines as Chianti because of the lack of structure to that wine in the industry.
Another great piece to read about are the wines they tasted on page two…here’s a run down of the wines they tasted…they have pricing, descriptions and ratings on thes site:

Merlot 2007?
where: Dominick’s Resteraunt, NYC, NY
comments: This was a very light and flavorful Merlot, although, I would categorize it as more of a chianti style wine. But it was good.
