What You Should Know About Cooking With Wine
When a recipe calls for a cup of white wine, the cook who wrote that suggestion likely wasn’t referring to a $50 bottle of chardonnay.

The Gorgeous Wines of Alsace
One of France’s finest wine-growing regions, and one of its least understood, is the northern district of Alsace, a hilly region bordering Germany with a populace that’s as comfortable speaking German as it is French.
