	EATING OUT
	Chef Allen's North 110 Mosaico

	A New style of Australian Wine The Aussies are coming up with a surprise: Elegant Pinots, Shiraz and Chards. Green Point from Yarra Valley, Victoria has been turning out some magnificent premium style wines.
	Loire Valley Wines:: The diversity of "terroirs," climates and grapes is staggering, and the styles of wine change accordingly. One common trait is their refreshing acidity, and no matter how magnificent, they are food-friendly wines meant to be enjoyed young.
	GOOD REDS UNDER $10 From California, Rutherford Hills, and Australia to Chile and even Mexico, great reds are on the market.
	Funny Labels For Serious Wines: The Traditions of French Burgundy with American Irreverent Labels at Rutz Cellars, Russian River, California.
	Beyond Pinot Grigio:: When most people think of Italian white wines, Pinot Grigio is all that comes to mind. If we can get past the "Griggy" there is a whole world of beautiful, aromatic wines to be found around Italy. As summer approaches, this is a great time to discover some of Italy's amazing whites: Tocai Friulano, Soave from Veneto, Gewürztraminers from Trentino-Alto Adige
	A Silly Ode to Wine: A spoof on outstanding wines and their labels
