What To Drink Now
Epicurious.Com in the form of their September wine column, entitled appropriately enough, What to Drink Now. It seems Epicurious has been featuring different wine writers each month, and this month is my turn. I've put together recommendations on crowd pleasing wines for dinner parties, some of my favorite Riojas, wines that pair particularly well with Autumn foods, and even some Kosher wine recommendations for those wine lovers looking to observe the upcoming Jewish New Year according to Kosher strictures.
So click on over and check it out.

We can only hope.

I can just only say that your top favorite Rioja (Artadi Pagos Viejos) is one of may favorites too. You very well describe the incredible and powerfull ending of this "new" Rioja. The only problem it has: its prize. You can find some of very similar Riojas (at least in Spain) for 20 to 30 dollars cheaper, for instance my other favorite, Sierra Cantabria Colección Privada 2001 (or, now, 2003).
All the best!

Nice article on Kosher wines. Aside from ordering online, is there anywhere in the bay area to pick up these wines? I live in Berkeley, so any shops in the E.B or SF that you could recommend?

Unfortunately the pickins were very slim locally. Your best bet is ordering online.
