...Villa Banfi's new wines are promising. The company will introduce its Chardonnay next spring, a cabernet sauvignon in the fall and a Brunello di Montalcino in 1985. The most interesting product from the company will be a Moscadello di Montalcino, a frizzante white wine, first made in the 17th century, that has been out of production for 50 years...

Some stores are offering Italian Dolce Vita white at $3.98 a magnum, plus a second magnum for one penny. The highly regarded Plozner Chardonnay '82 has been reduced from...

Last year the winery won five gold medals in an international competition in Milan...

To appreciate its sheer power, a trip to Almaden's Cienega Winery ten miles to the south is instructive.

Across the road, on the Pacific plate, there is a seminar for salesmen...

Last October, for example, Sonoma County's venerable F. Korbel & Bros, introduced a dry, delicate, straw-colored Blanc de Blancs that drew critical raves at blind tastings. It costs around $16-no steal...
