Woman on Wine
with Amy Reiley
It’s proven that women are more sensitive than men to the subtleties of taste. They also tend to give more provocative, enticing descriptions of wine. That’s why we have women do our wine writing. (We do also welcome the views of men but our two wine columnists happen to both be women.) Enter Woman on Wine.
In her monthly column, Woman on Wine, our internationally recognized wine and spirits writer and woman on wine Amy Reiley brings us her personal tasting notes. Inspired by wine trends and sometimes just a great wine, Reiley’s column goes in-depth into wine topics you want to learn about, with tasting notes for wines you’ll be running out to try.

But now that the air is turning crisp and the leaves prepare to fall, I’m going to talk about that ubiquitous summer wine. Why have […]
Summer Vacation Wines
/0 Comments/in Woman on Wine /by Amy Reiley+Woman on Wine with Amy Reiley In my head, I’ve been planning this installment of Woman on Wine to be “what I drank on my summer vacation.” Perhaps because I have a first grader, I took on the challenge as though it was a primary school essay. But when I actually began to record the […]
Drink Champagne in Summer…Just Because
/0 Comments/in Woman on Wine /by Amy Reiley+Woman on Wine with Amy Reiley This time of year, I’m typically hired to write about rosé. It is THE wine of summer these days. And that’s wonderful. I love rosé. It’s made from red wine grapes removed from the skin so that the resulting wine is generally light and crisp–perfect for summer. So why […]
