May 8, 2006 - Some Favorite Wine Picks!

Here are wino Fred Price's picks for the best Chilean, Long Island, and Kosher wines!

Favorite South American producers
In Chile, La Mision, which is made by William Fevre, a well-known producer from the Chablis region in France, Candelaria, a new import into the USA, and Casa Julia. From Argentina, my favorite producer is Fabre Montmayou. All 4 of these producers represent excellent value for the money.

Personal favorites are Bedell Cellars, Shinn Estate Vineyards, Channing Daughters Winery and Cru Cellars. Best websites for finding out about and exploring Long Island wineries are www.LongIslandWineCouncil.com, www.NewYorkWines.com and www.NorthFork.com
