-- Vegetarian Wine Pairings, and much, much more!

[Mike Rosenberg]

Goodness gracious, everyone -- have I ever fallen behind in my emailing duties! I have a number of little pieces of tastiness for you, my lovelies. 

First off, for those of you who are vegetarian, are thinking about making the switch, or who just want to eat a little less meat, here's the Naked Vine Guide to Meat Substitute wine pairings.

If you're looking for some slightly different reds, here's a primer on the Red Wines of Austria. 

Here's my take on a couple of wines from Cooper's Hawk, a restaurant and wine club possibly opening a location near you soon.

The wine fairy has been good to the Vine lately. Here are my takes on samples from:

• Franciscan Estate
• Tin Roof Cellars
• Barefoot Refresh
• Big House "Gru-V"
• Woodbridge Moscato

I hope that you and yours have had a marvelous holiday season. We'll be back in the New Year with more yummies!

Cheers!

-Mike.
