August 2026 Edition – Italy, Again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The July issue was all about the Piemonte in northern Italy. There is still more to tell about wine tasting in that region of Wine Country, so we’re sticking with it this month. We promise to get back to the rest of the world in later editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The articles about the Piemonte are also still available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About Power Tasting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Power Tasting<\/em> is an online magazine about the Wine Tasting Experience and contains five sections; a click on the links below will take you to them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Power Tasting<\/em> is not about wine as such, but about visiting Wine Country (in California, Europe, Long Island and everywhere else where they make wine). Our objective is to offer suggestions to the traveler who wishes to visit wineries and taste good wine. We are writing to the vacationer, not the connoisseur. We want to empower the visitor to get the maximum advantage out of each visit, not to be intimidated by wine snobs on either side of the bar and to be able to taste \u2013 not drink \u2013 as much as possible within the boundaries of safety and sanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About Us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A few years ago, Steve Ross and Lucie Gauthier (a married couple living in New York City) set out to write a book about wine tasting. We are avid lovers of wine from all over the world and have travelled widely to wine growing regions on four continents. However, we don\u2019t feel qualified to offer advice or even public opinions about wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [Well, that\u2019s not exactly true. Steve offers two rules: 1. Know what you like. 2. Remember what it\u2019s called.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing the book, to be named Power Tasting<\/em>, was interrupted by the damage done to our home by Hurricane Sandy and the year and a half of clean-up and restoration after the storm. That is all done and we haven\u2019t finished the book. We have come to understand how difficult it is to do that and still run a home and a business and generally enjoy life. We\u2019re still at it and will publish as soon as we can, but have decided in the meantime to publish an on-going magazine with interesting articles on a monthly basis. The magazine will cover the tasting experience everywhere we have been and will go in the future. And we\u2019ll welcome input from anyone who is kind enough to read our e-magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, comments about wine will be incidental. We\u2019re focusing on the overall experience, including the architecture, artwork, service, knowledge, crowd management, and overall ambiance of the wineries we visit. We may even mention where to have a picnic or take a walk in the garden. And we may mention some places to eat or other things to do while on a wine tasting trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So come take a very pleasant trip with us to some of the prettiest places we know: Wine Country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 2026 Edition – Italy, Again The July issue was all about the Piemonte in northern Italy.
